The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill targeting "chemtrails."
SB 2691/HB 2063, sponsored by Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston, and Sen. Steve Southerland, R-Morristown, passed in the Senate on Monday. The bill has yet to advance in the House.
The bill claims it is "documented the federal government or other entities acting on the federal government's behalf or at the federal government's request may conduct geoengineering experiments by intentionally dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere, and those activities may occur within the State of Tennessee," according to the bill.
The legislation would ban the practice in Tennessee.
"The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited," the bill reads.
The bill is scheduled to go to the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday.
"The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited," the bill reads.
Gonna look dumb later when they need cloud seeding for a drop of rain.
Or when somebody applies the law to CO2 or methane and finds an express purpose.
Or if we come up with a remotely feasible sunlight solution for warming. But I think that’s their point isn’t it.
Federal gov: we hereby formally request that the motorists of the great state of Tennessee drive their motor vehicles in order to release CO2 and other chemicals into the atmosphere for the express purpose of changing the temperature in Tennessee.
Oops, all motor vehicles are now banned in Tennessee.
Edit: also banned are parasols and air conditioners as they're both an apparatus with the express purpose of affecting temperature
I'm wondering if this could actually be applied to things like crop-dusting, as it does temporarily affect the intensity of sunlight. The same might be true of any airplanes flying over the state -- oops that airliner obscured the sun for a moment and their flight path was intentional. It would be hilarious if all airlines suspended flights "just in case".
Exactly. This bill is a Trojan horse to solidify the effects of global warming so that the rich and elite can leave the planet and the rest of us behind to burn and rot.
This is so explicitly evil that it sounds too ridiculous to be true. But I'm far too familiar with capitalists and the republican party to say it's definitely not true.
The Summary reads as something that bans cloud seeding, which is a real thing, and not the same thing as chemtrails which is a made up conspiracy theory about intentionally spreading toxic chemicals.
I'm not sure because "chemtrails" don't fucking exist: It's an insane conspiracy theory spouted by idiots who don't understand what contrails are or why they form.
Just because they don't exist doesn't mean they won't look in the sky and see a condensation trail Coming from a jet liner and start throwing fines at people.
The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,
So just bring a camera to film it and say the express purpose is to make art, educational videos, documentaries, study dispersal patterns, etc.
It's totally cool to affect the environment accidentally or as a biproduct of another activity.
The way this things reads it either affects everything or nothing that gets pumped into the atmosphere. My guess is nothing because who will ever say their express purpose is to affect the temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight?
Just convince Tennessee Republicans that airplanes aren’t real. Should be easy considering they’re completely capable of ignoring reality in favor of conspiracies. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
they aren't good ideas but we dont seem to be doing much about our emissions, so research into potential methods to delay the problem doesn't seem terrible. (as long as its not exploited to continue doing nothing)
