As myths about Milton and Helene spread, interest in chemtrails increased too on Google search and social media.
Despite the lack of evidence to support it, the so-called chemtrail conspiracy theory has endured for decades.
Some of the promotion of the conspiracy theory has taken on a distinctively antisemitic tone.
Peters previously promoted the unhinged conspiracy theory that ballots were flown from Asia as part of a plot to steal the 2020 election from President Trump.
Friedrich suggested the conspiracy theories blaming weather manipulation for the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton is a way to distract from the real effects of climate change.
