In a bombshell episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, the host has thrust himself into one of the most suppressed debates of our time: the reality of geoengineering and “chemtrails.” Airing on November 10, 2025, the interview with Dane Wigington, founder of GeoengineeringWatch.org, pulls back the curtain on a program that governments admit exists under the guise of combating climate change. However, as Wigington argues, and Carlson probes with unfiltered curiosity, the spraying of aerosols into the atmosphere poses catastrophic risks. Far from a fringe theory, it is a documented operation with roots in military weather modification experiments dating back to the Vietnam War’s Operation Popeye.
The government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real. It’s called geoengineering and it’s far worse than anything you imagined. Dane Wigington explains.

The question lingers. Are the fallout effects mere accidents in a desperate bid to save the planet, or does this technology enable a darker agenda of weather dominance and population control?
From Chemtrails to Geoengineering: Dispelling the Smoke Screen
For decades, persistent white streaks trailing high-altitude jets have sparked talk of “chemtrails.” Mainstream sources, including Wikipedia, dismiss these as paranoid delusions, labeling believers as conspiracy theorists. Yet Carlson, ever the skeptic of official narratives, challenges this head-on. “The trails are still there,” he notes, “and it’s clearly not water vapor.” Enter Wigington, an off-grid solar engineer turned whistleblower, who reframes the discussion in scientific terms: solar radiation management, stratospheric aerosol injection, and cloud albedo enhancement. These are not hypotheticals. They are proposed and, according to Wigington’s lab-tested evidence, actively deployed methods to reflect sunlight and cool the planet.
The mechanics are straightforward yet chilling. Military tankers and commercial jets, retrofitted with nozzles, release nanoparticles like aluminum, barium, and strontium into the upper atmosphere. Lab analyses from institutions like Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute confirm these elements in rainwater at levels up to 3,450 parts per billion. Bioavailable aluminum is toxic to all life forms. Patents from the Department of Defense and climate scientists openly advocate for such dispersions, with figures like former NASA engineer Ken Caldeira admitting their role in pathogen delivery systems. The U.S., with three times more aerial tankers than the rest of the world combined, leads this charge. Historical precedents abound: a 1978 U.S. Senate report spans 800 pages on weather modification, while international treaties from 1976 ban it only in wartime, not over one’s own citizens.
A Program Gone Rogue: Unintended Calamity or Calculated Control?
Proponents claim geoengineering buys time against runaway warming by dimming the sun’s rays. But Wigington, backed by peer-reviewed studies, warns it exacerbates the crisis. These aerosols trap more heat than they deflect, shred the ozone layer (now near collapse), and fuel extreme weather. Ozone depletion alone invites deadly UVC radiation to the surface, mutating DNA and scorching ecosystems. Frequency transmissions from installations like HAARP manipulate pressure zones, steering hurricanes and engineering droughts, as Iranian leaders have accused NATO of doing for decades.
Is this hubris-fueled benevolence, or something more malevolent? Lyndon Johnson proclaimed in 1962, “He who controls the weather will control the world.” Fast-forward to today: targeted droughts cripple adversaries like Iran, while domestic wildfires rage under anomalous wind patterns. A declassified U.S. military document, “Wildfires as a Military Weapon,” outlines 17 U.S. sites, including Los Angeles, for incendiary aerosol testing. Pathogen-laced clouds, polymer fibers, and graphene in precipitation hint at biological warfare capabilities, echoing 239 open-air tests on unwitting Americans documented by The Washington Post in 1977. Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor under Carter, mused that modern tech makes killing a million easier than controlling them. With crop collapses and insect apocalypses unfolding, the line between salvation and subjugation blurs.
The Farmer’s Frontline: Poisoned Skies, Ravaged Fields
For America’s backbone, the farmer, geoengineering is no abstract threat. It is a daily siege on soil, sky, and sustenance. Wigington’s rainwater tests reveal heavy metals seeping into aquifers and farmlands, poisoning soil microbiomes essential for nutrient uptake. Aluminum nanoparticles coat foliage and roots, halting photosynthesis and inducing slow death in crops and trees alike. Forests, once carbon sinks, now exhale less oxygen as stomata clamp shut against toxic air. Peer-reviewed research confirms this: stratospheric sulfate aerosols slash yields for staple C3 crops like wheat, rice, and soy by reducing direct sunlight, while even C4 maize suffers from diffuse light scattering. In China, models predict that geoengineering alters precipitation patterns, devastating rice paddies and corn belts.
Weather weaponization amplifies the horror. Engineered droughts parch the Midwest, while frequency-driven “atmospheric rivers” unleash biblical floods in the Heartland. Recall Hurricane Harvey’s engineered stall, dumping 60 inches on Houston. These disruptions erode topsoil, drown livestock, and spike insurance premiums to unaffordable heights. Reduced solar input, already costing Wigington 70% of his panels’ output, starves crops of the photons needed for growth. Studies warn of global yield drops: up to 20% for key grains under solar dimming, with stability shattered by erratic rains. Plankton crashes, down 90% in the Atlantic, collapses fish stocks, hammering aquaculture. Bees, vital pollinators, have plummeted to single-digit survival rates, their hives laced with neurotoxic metals. No bees, no apples. No insects, no food web. Wildlife herds like caribou have cratered from millions to thousands, signaling broader trophic collapse.
Farmers face a triple whammy: contaminated irrigation water breeding superweeds and resistant pests, sunlight blockade mimicking perpetual overcast (think eternal February for photosynthesis), and storm steering turning breadbaskets into battlegrounds. As one UC Berkeley analysis starkly concludes, solar geoengineering could “drastically cut crop yields,” offsetting any cooling gains with famine risks. In a nation where agriculture feeds 330 million and exports billions, this is economic sabotage, or worse, engineered scarcity.
Awakening the Heartland
Tucker’s foray validates what farmers have sensed for years: streaked skies heralding barren harvests. Wigington’s 27-year crusade, fueled by personal loss of solar-dependent habitat restoration, underscores the stakes. No trees, no people. No crops, no civilization. Yet glimmers of resistance emerge: 36 states eye bans, with Tennessee and Florida leading. Carlson’s platform, reaching millions, could ignite the outrage needed to ground these flights.
Unintended blunder or sinister stratagem? The evidence tilts toward the latter, with weather as the ultimate asymmetric weapon. As geoengineering accelerates biosphere collapse, insects down 90%, forests 66% vanished since pre-industrial times, farmers stand as sentinels. Demand transparency: query your congressman on aerosol budgets, test your rain, document the streaks. The skies belong to all of us.
