Ten years ago, if someone mentioned weather modification, someone not unlike yourself would call them crazy conspiracy theorists.

Now you fully accept the fact that what they were claiming is true, but because you don't care for their vocabulary they are still conspiracy theorists....

This is kind of silly. What is a trail of chemicals left behind an airplane? They chose to say "chemtrail".

Don't you see how that is kind of upside down?

Why would anyone think it was a conspiracy in 2013? This was an established practice and documented all over the place a decade ago. Here's the Wikipedia page on cloud seeding from 2010 (twelve years ago): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cloud_seeding&old...

How could I answer that question. It is a non-question.

Why would such a large group of people chose not to investigate the public record? Those same people are commonplace idiots, I suppose. They have not been informed by their echochambers that these things are occurring and so the idea, to them, is crazy conspiracy. Now, those same idiots chose semantic debate about the use of some phrase or word choice instead of acknowledging their lack of awareness.
