The tinfoil hat wearing flat-earthers are out in force once again, advancing legislative offerings aimed at prohibiting those nefarious climate-change scientists from dispersing chemtrails into our skies. How utterly exhausting such devotion to conspiratorial claptrap must be. It's tragic, to be sure, and yet perversely amusing in its way, to behold such unshakeable certainty over such dubious claims espoused with such conviction.

Once one succumbs to accepting the impossible, rejecting the incontestable becomes effortless. If this paranoid contingent could remove their tin hats long enough to use their thinking caps instead, and direct a fraction of the time theyโ€™ve invested in nonsense toward assimilating bona fide evidence-based knowledge, they would have no need for these frivolous efforts. Oh, the humanity!
