Floods in Brazil spark conspiracy theories over the cause, including toxic jet vapor trails and antennas in Alaska
The state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil has been facing heavy rains since last week, with 143 people confirmed to have lost their lives in the resulting floods so far, the local civil defense agency has said.
Brazil's National Institute of Meteorology has said the current extreme conditions have likely been influenced by El Niño — the warming of sea surface temperature.
Nevertheless, a number of bizarre online conspiracy theories have cropped up over what's behind it.
"What's happening in Rio Grande do Sul is definitely not natural," one user wrote on X. "Let's open our eyes!"
The user said they believed that the cause of the heavy rains was HAARP, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, a North American scientific project that uses antennas to study a part of the Earth's upper atmosphere known as the ionosphere.
Some now claim that the rains in Brazil have been caused by toxic jet vapor trails, or "chemtrails," spread by the government and then activated by HAARP antennas in Alaska to alter the weather, AFP reported.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
