As I understand it the chemtrail theory is based on an idea proposed by the late Dr. Edward Teller. His thinking was that it would be very expensive and probably impractical to reduce global warming by reducing CO2 emissions. He proposed instead that a cooling effect could be achieved through a slight increase in the earth's albedo (reflectivity). As I recall one of the ways he suggested for doing that was to inject certain chemicals into the atmosphere to seed cloud formation. More clouds would reflect more sunlight away and produce a cooling effect. He estimated that this could be done for a fraction of the cost of reducing CO2 emissions.
As far as I know this approach has not been tried. But if it was being done why keep it a secret?
