It's not a conspiracy. It's called geoengineering, and it is now well into at least it's second decade.
The main goal is stated to cool down the planet by blocking a small percentage of the sunlight. That may or may not be the real goal of the program. In my mind, the planet has definitely cooled from the levels seen in the 1990's. For example, I was golfing here in January in the 1990's. Last year we had the coldest winter here since 1859. January averaged -40C every day.
The problem with geoengineering is it warps the actual planet data - you cannot tell if cooling is occurring naturally as part of a normal cycle, or artificially, as part of an effective engineering effort. There is no effective control for comparison. Then there is also the risk of over cooling the planet, and triggering the next ice age by mistake. It is also possible to destabilize the biosphere, triggering unintended die off of various species, and unintended species adaptation and migration.
In other words, the planet has already cooled and we should probably stop now. We can always restart it if the planet heats back up again.
Geoengineering is a conspiracy. It's not publicly admitted to. I think geoengineering may be the cover story they are setting up for when they get found out, and it may be more sinister.
Either way, what are they spraying? I wager it's not good for human health.
