    Republic of Gators, Delusion and Freedom, where they’ve persecuted immigrants so hard they’re “easing” their child labor laws.

    See’s man made cloud due to the action of cold metal ripping through the sky “ZOMG ITS TEH LIBS POISONING MY AIR” jumps in vehicle modified to spew toxic pitch black clouds at the push of a button and drunkenly crashes into the preschool “THIS AIN’T MY FAULT!”

    Thing that doesn’t happen is now illegal, got it. Glad to see Florida tackling the big problems facing its citizens.

      I want them to pass this.

      It would be interesting how they would enforce it.

      Would they ban all planes? Or maybe just ignore the law? Or maybe start saying “these are not chemtrails, these are contrails, those are ok”.

    “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”.

    you might as well go right out and say that having an education higher than a 5th grader should also be banned.

    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. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.

      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.

    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.
