| Summary | The belief that governments are secretly conducting large-scale geoengineering projects, such as spraying chemicals via aircraft to cool the climate, and that this is part of a broader plot for control. This has led to legislative efforts to ban geoengineering in many US states. |
| Origin | Gained momentum in the 2020s, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, as anti-vaccine and anti-government groups adopted the cause. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | There is no evidence that large-scale geoengineering is being conducted. Cloud seeding is a limited, regulated practice. The scientific community does not support the existence of secret geoengineering programs. |
