Robert Kennedy Jr. sparks sharp reactions with claims about "chemtrails" in the sky
American politician Robert Kennedy Jr. has once again found himself at the center of public attention after announcing his intention to investigate the theory of so-called "chemtrails." According to him, the white lines that airplanes leave behind in the sky are not merely condensation, but contain chemicals intentionally sprayed into the atmosphere.
These statements sparked a wave of criticism from the scientific community and political opponents. Aviation and meteorology experts have repeatedly explained that these trails are composed of water vapor that freezes at low temperatures at high altitudes. They emphasize that there is no evidence for the existence of a secret chemical spraying program.
Critics of Kennedy Jr. did not mince words, describing his claims as dangerous and completely devoid of scientific basis. On social media and in the media, he was subjected to serious attacks, with many accusing him of spreading disinformation that undermines trust in science and institutions.
Although the topic is a subject of debate primarily in the United States, it often appears in the Bulgarian public space through social media. Experts urge citizens to trust verified facts and official data from state aviation authorities, rather than unconfirmed theories that spread online.
The case raises once again the question of the influence of public figures on public opinion. As Kennedy Jr. continues to maintain his position, the debate surrounding his statements remains an example of how easily conspiracy theories can become part of political discourse in the modern world.
