Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make “the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity” a felony.
…
“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,” she wrote. “It will be a felony offense.”
She added: “We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”
Does this make “Rollin’ coal” illegal?
Oh for fucks sake…. How can one woman be some incredibly dense?
She probably heard somewhere that is why there were flash floods in Texas because some evil genius is punishing “real Americans”.
The ironic thing is the GOP constant bashing of clean, renewable energy and promoting fossil fuels and coal really is affecting the weather, just not in a very predictable or controlled way.
I mean who else wants to hurt God loving Texans other than the radical left? No one that’s who. The radical left is lying to you about climate change so they can hide their secret Jewish space lasers and punish anyone on the right for speaking out. Like, if you’re on the right you’re not even allowed to speak anymore, at all, about anything. It’s always the left agenda this, or left agenda that, bo one listens to the right anymore. The radical left terrorists have bullied the right with fake climate change so now when there’s a national disaster the left can come out with their conspiracy theories about climate change when we really know what they’re doing. The left terrorists hate America and want to destroy it by making more natural disasters, and making them more serious then lie to your face and call it climate change when it’s really them who are causing natural disasters to change in our climate to silence the right.
~Hopefully obvious that is parody~
All this is gonna stop is cloud seeding, since that is literally the only way in which we manipulate the weather.
Well… On purpose, I mean. If this has the side effect of outlawing all greenhouse emissions because it’s altering the weather in form of making shit hotter, that’s a win.
Edit: Also I am reminded of the time some PR lady for HAARP said the array can manipulate the weather because, technically, it could punch a hole in clouds directly above it. Which I thought was just stupid, even as a joke, because they were trying to squash the rumors that it was some kind of hurricane machine.
You know it ain’t. This is her trying to ban some conspiracy theory non existent weather device, just like the space laser she was crying about a couple years ago.
What’s the worst that can happen, farmers face droughts and companies can’t allow relief due to legality so the crops just die and we have food shortages? I mean that just hurts the farmers and the non-rich… So no fucks they will give
Does it include the pollutants coming from her private jet ?
At this point she is trolling with legislation, this is not even legislation for financial profit, she is just doing it to fuck with the minds of people that support green energy transition against climate change. Pure malicious glee. I hope she faces mob justice at this point.
So glad we handed over all levers of power to these morons.
Does this include using a sharpie to control a hurricane?
This reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillotine.
There is a nugget of ‘truth’ here:
https://csl.noaa.gov/news/2023/390_1107.html
I can’t find my good source on tis, but there are very real proposals to seed the arctic or antarctic with aerosols to stem a runaway greenhouse gas effect.
It’s horrific. It would basically rain down sulfiric acid onto the terrain; even worse than it sounds. But it would only cost billions, not trillions of other geoengineering schemes I’ve scene.
…And the worst part is it’s arctic/climate researchers proposing this. They intimately know exactly how awful it would be, which shows how desperate they are to even publish such a thing.
But I can totally understand how a layman (maybe vaguley familiar with chemtrail conspiracies) would come across this and be appalled, and how conservative influencers pounce on it cause they can’t help themselves.
Thanks to people like MTG, geoengineering efforts will never even be considered. :(
TL;DR Scientists really are proposing truly horrific geoengineering schemes “injecting chemicals into the atmosphere” out of airplanes. But it’s because of how desperate they are to head off something apocalyptic, and it’s not even close to being implemented. They’re just theories and plans.
you and i both know that she is not talking about any actual scientific proposal
“Scientists.” I wonder how many are sponsored by fossil fuel extractors?
No, you misunderstand; it’s a sound scheme. I wouldn’t be against it.
…Which just underscores how horrific of a situation we are in. It’s an akin to “okay, a meteor is coming; what about this plan to deflect it into the arctic?”
Fossil fuel companies are lobbying for the “everything is fine” propaganda, not geoengineering schemes that indirectly reinforce how dangerously unstable the planet could be.
I’ll rotfl my mao off when this law will turn out to accidentally punish fossil fuel and chemical companies dispersing chemicals or substances into the atmosphere and altering weather, also known as climate change.
Laws aren’t auto-enforcing magic. Any place that fossil fuel companies violations of a stupid law like this (written for purely performative reasons) simply wouldn’t be enforced upon.
Similarly, if the law allows for civil action, a multitude of reasons would be conjured on demand explaining why the lawsuit couldn’t move forward against fossil fuel companies. If it managed to move through district courts, it would simply wind up on the supreme court docket and they would again conjure up some reasons why the suit was invalid.
You just know they won’t touch those companies because how else are they gonna get their bribe money?
I bet some megaMAGAmorons will embark on a quest to prove their nonsense right… and in the end find out it was the same companies that polluted the air, water and soil whos CEOs are buddybuddy with their beloved leader…
I thought she’d prioritize dealing with sharknado attacks but there we have it.
Immigrantnado!
The new conservative horror film
If this unintentionally regulates greenhouse gas emissions I’m going to laugh so hard.
Express purpose probably saves them. The express purpose is to vent externalities
It would be beautiful if this dimwit bumbled her way into making the world a better place…but we’re probably in the wrong timeline for that
I can see how people in the future could turn this one around on to oil and plastic companies. We should probably not stop this one.
And thus more time and money is wasted…
Wasn’t there some doge tip site where Americans could post this?
I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,”
So carbon dioxide? Guess we better shut down the coal power plants. MTG says so!
Felony to operate your air conditioner. Awesome
Alas “express purpose” is in there. Clearly the express purpose for petrol companies is profit. And CO2, other pollutants are just inadvertent things that happened on the way to (destroying the planet for) profit. I mean they only sold the petrol products, they didn’t force people that purchased the gasoline to burn it. Maybe we can go after the combustion engine producers?
So it would affect research like this https://research.noaa.gov/injecting-light-reflecting-particles-into-the-stratosphere-could-also-make-marine-clouds-brighter/
So one could say they hobby at creating potassium iodide, but its expensive to pay to dispose of, so I dump it out of the back of an aircraft that was hired. There was no intention of actually seeding the clouds and making it rain, right?
All pollution?!? Make all pollution illegal?!?!?
That’s what it is, right?
injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,
I’m sure I’ve seen MTG breathing on her hands in cold weather, which falls into the above perfectly.
