Jet condensation trails, or contrails, have spawned wild conspiracy theories alleging mind control and the spreading of disease, but scientists say the real problem is their warming effect.

Researchers argue these smoky trails essentially double the amount of heating that’s caused by aviation's use of fossil fuels.

The problem will be discussed at the UN climate conference, COP29, in Baku for the first time.

Contrails form in the sky in the same way that your breath goes misty on a chilly morning.
