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.”

    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.

        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…

    Cool

    Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won’t fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

    But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

    It’s amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

    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.

    The only “weather modification machines” are fossil fuel powered energy plants. We should join together with MTG to outlaw them.

      I mean, technically we’ve been playing around with cloud seeding and such which is about the only thing I can think of that would even come close to what she is talking about. But it’s by no means a common occurrence.

    So carbon dioxide? Guess we better shut down the coal power plants. MTG says so!

    All the fucking stupidest people. Every goddamn idiotic conspiracy theory is getting a pipeline straight to mainstream news outlets and a rep in government now. Instead of some stupid Bircher literature or having to stand out on the street and screech nonsense at passerby who could just ignore the crazy people…

    I am seriously wondering when the moon landing denialists and the flat earth morons and the HIV-denialists will get their day of representation, too.

    We already have the anti-vaxxer dumbfucks, the Qanon loons, the evolution-denying dipshits, what else is missing…? How about David Icke level bullshit about lizard people?

    JFC.

    Depending on how climate change turns out for some regions, they will definitely come back to the topic of weather engineering. No rain for a year or two will do this for you.
