Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Bill To Tackle 'Weather Modification'

I haven’t read the article or comments yet. Just the post title. I am afraid of the amount of brain cells I am about to lose. I’m going in, will update in a moment.

Edit: what the fuck did I just read. A new bill to stop a conspiracy theory? MTG is dumb as a stone and I can’t comprehend how she is still in office

Maybe they'll unintentionally outlaw pollution like when the Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis in 2018

Next up is a bill to shoot every remaining unicorn

Does this make "Rollin' coal" illegal?

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!

Geoengineering… like fracking?

Or like building man-made lakes and tunnels? What about digging a pool in my backyard?

What an absolute fucking idiot.

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.

If this unintentionally regulates greenhouse gas emissions I’m going to laugh so hard.

Would this... proposed legislation... mean that SpaceX will now be prohibited from flooding LEO with Starlink comsats?

Loading the upper atmosphere with ozone-destroying aluminum and other heavy metals as those things fall out of orbit, not to mention rapidly increasing light and RF pollution, definitely qualify as an uncontrolled geoengineering experiment, albeit one whose effects were known before launch. I could go on about the deleterious effects of these orbiting swarms, but - the ball's in your court, Congresswoman Greene.

So would preventing “geoengineering” also prevent trying to stop climate change?

Does this include using a sharpie to control a hurricane?

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.

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.

This is performative ignorance, to please the home schooled bible toting cretins who vote.

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.

Misting fans are now a felony

I thought she'd prioritize dealing with sharknado attacks but there we have it.

Go get 'em, Marge. Champion of the dummies.

These aren't serious people.

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.

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

This is awesome. Do it. What’s gonna happen when the contrails don’t disappear? Who are they gonna arrest? Gonna have to stock up on popcorn because the theatre of the ignorant is about to get really interesting. Finally a piece of legislation I can get excited about.

It's like utterly humorless Art Bell fans took over the government.

So go after the bullshit corpos releasing megatons of co2 into the atmosphere

Marjorie Taylor Green is such a waste of resources.

Ugly, dumb and vile.

And I bet she stinks.

She's attempting to ban Geoengineering. From Wikipedia:

Geoengineering (also known as climate engineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system intended to counteract human-caused climate change.[1] The term commonly encompasses two broad categories: large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM). CDR involves techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is generally considered a form of climate change mitigation. SRM aims to reduce global warming by reflecting a small portion of sunlight (solar radiation) away from Earth and back into space. Although historically grouped together, these approaches differ substantially in mechanisms, timelines, and risk profiles, and are now typically discussed separately.[2]: 168 [3] Some other large-scale engineering proposals—such as interventions to slow the melting of polar and alpine ice—are also sometimes classified as forms of geoengineering.

Some types of geoengineering present political, social and ethical issues. One common objection is that focusing on these technologies could undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Effective governance and international oversight are widely regarded as essential.

Major scientific organizations have examined the potential, risks, and governance needs of geoengineering, including the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,[4][5][6] the Royal Society,[7] the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),[8] and the World Climate Research Programme.[1]

So, she wants to ban "cloud seeding"?

If I could control the weather, this woman would never not be getting targeted by lightning. She'd have to run serpentine whenever she was outside to dodge all the lightning bolts aimed at her.

@RememberTheApollo_

OMG I think this is an opening for an absolutely different kind of green new deal. Wait till she finds out how the weather is being modified (can somebody tell her that Elon Musk’s data center is running the numbers and doing it?)

And I’m going to have to ask now that the Republicans are in charge of everything with the next big disaster occurs. What is she gonna do?

This reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillotine.

anything but the real issue

Can you guys please try to elect some people that will actually do the job they are voted on to do instead of waste everyone's time and accomplish nothing. Tearing shit down is incredibly easy, building shit up takes decades. You ha e severely fucked yourselves over and destroyed all the work of the past 50-75 years of being a country in the modern world. Y'all are fucked and still talking about the next vote like it even fucking matters anymore. America is fucking gone man, you just don't realize it yet.

And thus more time and money is wasted...

Wasn't there some doge tip site where Americans could post this?

These people are dumb as rocks. There are also similar elements in GA like Kandiss Taylor(stupid name) beginning their political careers also proclaiming that Climate Change is fake but also suggesting that unprecedented weather conditions must be the work of external forces presumably also blaming the jews.

wow that's quite a twist, USA is going green! Right?

Seriously fuck this idiot and the idiots who voted for her. Just a disgraceful embarrassment. Then again so is work, so I get it, but have some dignity.

I will fuckin love if she fucks around and discovers climate change

Wonder if this could be used against fossil fuel or chemical companies. The only words that would need to be dropped is "express purpose"

Why the fuck did we thaw her?

It's because MAGA is spreading conspiracies that geoengineering is to blame for the Texas flood.

Oh, the blonde clown again!

But she has better looks than Deputy Doofy...

Could MTG accidentally tackle climate change ? that would be amazing

this is stupid, but it's it a wolf in sheep's clothing to ban any policy against climate change?

They are coming after your 'chemtrails'. What a whacky weirdo bunch. Nothing better to do than chase imaginary windmills. MTG really needs counseling, perhaps meds, as she appears to be living in a made up world with little to no relationship to the actual world we all live in.

But humans can't be a cause of climate changes.

Here's a head full of sailboat fuel. It’s amazing she can even remember to how to breathe.

Holy shit, the broken clock and I agree on something for once! Contrails are water vapor and CO2, both of which alter temperature. If she wants to ban them, then by all means.

I am curious how she expects to control for lake and sea evaporation, but I’m interested in hearing her ideas.

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.

I goes the water misters to lower temperature at the likes of Disneyland would be illegal under that wording. They’re emitting a chemical (water) to explicitly lower the temperature via evaporative cooling.

God I hope she goes out riding a MAGA weather balloon into the sunset, never to be seen again

Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

starting with CO2, right Marje??

So if I pray to God, and ask him to send a hurricane to Mar-a-Lago, and he actually does, that's allowed?

So MTG acknowledges there's a difference between weather and climate?

So like climate change, right?... Right?

So weather manipulation as a byproduct is okay?

Qult

Jewish space lasers right?
