The Environmental Protection Agency released a new website Thursday that debunks conspiracy theories about airplane contrails — conspiracies that are popular with a contingent of President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters, and at least one member of his cabinet.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime believer in the conspiracy that airplanes are spewing chemicals (instead of condensation) into the sky, seemed to think that the agency was planning on validating it.
“Im so proud of my friend Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump for their commitment to finally shatter the Deep State Omerta regarding the diabolical mass poisoning of our people, our communities,our waterways and farms, and our purple mountains, majesty,” Kennedy wrote on X in response to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s announcement that the agency would be releasing “everything we know about contrails and geoengineering.”
