Chemtrails

Thank you for contacting me about chemtrails.

I can reassure you that the Department for Transport is not aware of any other matter or aerosol being ejected from aircraft, other than normal exhaust products.

I am aware that other countries have on occasions used weather modification techniques, such as cloud seeding, which causes precipitation by introducing substances into cumulus clouds that cause condensation. However, these techniques are aimed at reducing the locally damaging impacts of hail, or promoting rainfall, and have no impact on climate and should not be considered to be geo-engineering.

It is also worth noting that since 1977, cloud seeding and environmental techniques have been subject to international regulation after countries agreed the “Convention of the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD). This treaty forbids the use of environmental modification techniques in hostile circumstances. For further details please see here.

I do hope that this information helps, and thank you again for contacting me about this important issue.
