Republic of Gators, Delusion and Freedom, where they’ve persecuted immigrants so hard they’re “easing” their child labor laws.
Jesus fucking Christ Almighty Lord above these people are fucking dumber than god damn bricks.
Florida is also the place where a court decided that residents don’t have a right to clean water.
meth is in the air, and water.
It’s not illegal it just costs $10,000 (via a fine) to chemtrail people into gayness.
Money well spent.
In the right location, that’s like $1 per new gay. Those are good rates
you might as well go right out and say that having an education higher than a 5th grader should also be banned.
Is it also illegal for me to levitate? Or to move objects with my mind?
Well, cloud seeding is a real thing, but it’s not a thing the US does, as far as I know.
I’m pretty sure there are a handful of states that cloud seed. It has nothing to do with the imaginary chem trails though.
I wonder if they’ll outlaw dousing
No more flights to Florida, I guess.
Lots of ignorant comments in here. I’m not even an expert, but numerous scientists agree that the long-term effects of cloud seeding, aka “chemtrails” are not entirely known. However, there are known potential downsides, such as increased flooding and environmental pollution (from the silver iodide used to form the clouds). There are also other downsides to it, but I’m not going to dive into all of that because I’m lazy.

In short, banning cloud seeding isn’t that bad of an idea. Whether the cons outweigh the pros (increased precipitation is good for farmers/crops), that’s a debate worth having among our legislators and the scientific community.
That’s not what the chemtrails theory is. Geoengineering is a worthwhile thing to prevent in a precautionary way. But some whacko Florida Man highjacked this bill to ban using contrails as some sort of chemical/biological mass sterilization agent.
The bill literally is about cloud seeding. The politicians marketed it as chemtrail bullshit, but that doesn’t change the actual content of the bill.
“I have a problem with people spraying perfume around me sometimes, don’t you have a problem with people spraying things into the atmosphere that really have no type of empirical data, that you just don’t know who they are or what they’re doing?” said Sen. Ileana Garcia, R-Coral Gables, the bill’s sponsor, on Thursday morning.
Suddenly no longer a climate change denier.
The difference being we do know who they are and why they’re doing it, it’s just our leaders aren’t doing enough to stop them because of “The Economy”.
Sweet Sweet Florida. They sure do make them dumb down there.
Given the education reforms, that’s the idea.
As someone who works for a defense contractor, I like to tell people chemtrails are real just to sow chaos. To add credibility, I refer people to an early test version:
Florida doesn’t particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don’t need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don’t have), so it’s kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though.
Cloud seeding is only a couple steps above dowsing in its efficacy. It rarely works to do anything. There is a basic principle that is true regarding cloud condensation nuclei, but the methods are so haphazard that it’s still mostly just “doing something” to make people feel better. It’s basically our equivalent of the Mayan elite rituals encouraging rains for the corn harvest.
I think this is a really shitty bill, but not for the reasons people are assuming. The actual wording is against cloud seeding, but DeSantis is trying to win over his crazies by implying it’s for “chemtrails.” We’re kind of falling for it too here.
“Geoengineering and Weather Modification Activities” (SB 56), prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance or an apparatus into the atmosphere in Florida to affect the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight. It was OK’d 28–9.
prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance or an apparatus into the atmosphere in Florida to affect the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight.
Huh, this makes the internal combustion engine illegal.
Water is a chemical. Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces water, water when dispersed into the atmosphere creates clouds. Clouds affect the temperature, weather, climate and intensity of sunlight. QED any burning of hydrocarbons is illegal.
Fuck yeah. I support this bill.
The sunshine state is finally investing in solar electric airplanes
That also makes it illegal to nuke hurricanes
Maybe that’s partly why they proposed getting it outlawed now before hurricane season, now that Mr. Hurricane Nuker is back in office, heh.
This is what they’re doing? Friggin’ idiots! Why don’t they tackle the real problems?!
It is still perfectly legal to be a werewolf!
Alternatively phrased: Florida proposes ban on planes from flying in or over it.
Cloud seeding is different than contrails. Think 99% of the people in this thread are confusing the two and making ignorant statements. They’re banning the former, not the latter.
Either you’re over-estimating the intelligence of the politicians that did this, or underestimating the stupidity of the people who are for the bill. I’m not sure yet which it is.
I mean, read the bill yourself. It’s banning cloud seeding. The politicians just lied and made it sound like the bill is going after conspiratorial chemtrails. It’s almost as if no one has read the fucking article with how much disagreement I’ve gotten.
Bro, the article says it’s phrased as cloud seeding and that they want to “debunk” chemtrails, but read the rest of the article about how it’s being presented by De Santis and others. The bill is also being sold for the electorate that believes this will ban chemtrails.
You’re not levitating above the rest of us with your big brain.
You didn’t even read my comment, because you’re literally repeating what I just said.
Whatever, I’m done responding to this damn thread.
Excuse me sir we have American educations. It’s rich of you to think we know the difference between former and latter.
That would be some incredible malicious compliance. “We couldn’t make sure our planes didn’t leave ‘chem trails,’ so we just don’t fly to your state anymore.”
If any state in America needed to be declared a no-fly zone…
Do states even have “sovereign airspace”?
“State” is ambiguous
Only prop planes allowed
Or they could ban condensation I suppose
It can happen on props as well, just not as likely.
