At least eight states, including Florida and Tennessee, have now introduced ... legislation to prohibit “geo-engineering” or “weather modification”

So, nothing to do with chemtrails and specifically addresses geo-engineering and weather modification. Cloud seeding is a thing and dispersing particulates to reflect sunlight has also been much discussed. These states simply don't want it happening in their state.

We're going to need real geoengineering, so ofc Republicans are trying to ban it... Literal fucking death cult.

Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana are named for working to outlaw chemtrails in the article. Articles like this should be required to list things they have already indicated exist in a small, closed set like this. I want a list of states! Or at least their abbreviations.

I freaking knew Louisiana would be in it

Airlines should stop flying to or over these states, to comply with the law.

Are they also going to make witchcraft a felony?

As a way to oppress women? They might give it a go.

You get the government you deserve.

This could likely lead to a period of no planes flying over these states, since airlines wouldn't want to face whatever fines are stated in these bills, yeah? If any of these pass, it's inevitable that they'll either be ignored or backpedalled on in the future. I imagine they're mostly just virtue signalling and have no intention of actually passing these laws.

More note worthy would be the planes not flying into or out of those states. That would not only include no passengers flying in or out, but also no products of any kind being flown in or out. This could get interesting.

They going to outlaw dihydrogen monoxide next?

At least eight states, including Florida and Tennessee, have now introduced chemtrail-coded legislation to prohibit “geo-engineering” or “weather modification”.

Happy to hear we can keep the chemtrails for mind control going

I almost put this here, but the last part ruined the joke :/

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

How it used to be a fringe thing we can laugh at and dismiss, at a time when scientific documentaries were also entertaining and enlightening.

[–] ChaosInstructor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

another bizarre law. along with, it is prohibited to harass Bigfoot, donut holes are not to be sold and nobody is to cross state lines with a duck atop their head...
