Is it true that the white streaks behind airplanes are chemtrails deliberately released to control the weather?
No. Two reference sources directly address the claim: a Skeptics Stack Exchange answer explains contrails are ordinary condensation trails produced by high-flying aircraft and predate the jet age, and a Wikipedia article states contrails are streaks of condensed water vapor and that scientists and federal agencies consistently deny chemtrails exist. Together they settle the claim in the negative.
