Uuuh you're sorta failing to mention that the common conspiracy theories are that they contain population controlling chemicals. Seems less like a really fast change and more like completely unrelated things
Obviously the Communists figured out how to use the CIA mind control chemicals in contrails against us. So, they've got to be stopped, either the Communists or the contrails, but it's easier to stop the contrails. Environmental benefits is just a cover story. PS, that extra fuel they say they'll need has the next gen mind control chemicals, that the Communists can't use, but these will be invisible.
