RFK Jr.’s MAHA Wants to Make Chemtrail Conspiracy Theories Great Again
Kennedy promotes a task force on chemtrail theories despite scientific consensus rejecting them; GOP lawmakers back the claims amid rising misinformation, per multiple sources.
- On July 14, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began moves to investigate climate and weather control, planning a task force after Gray Delany urged Calley Means to prioritize it.

- A House committee devoted two hours to debating the once-fringe idea and related legislation, while Health and Human Services interviewed applicants to lead a 'chemtrails' task force but follow-up remains unclear.
- Public health leaders caution that unscientific ideas can influence policy, and climate researchers, including Swain, have received death threats, highlighting risks under President Donald Trump.
