MTG was mocked for weather-control claims. Now Florida has a new bill to ban 'weather modification'

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has repeatedly and bizarrely claimed that the government can control the weather based on outlandish conspiracy theories.

And now a bill has been introduced in the Florida state senate to ban “weather modification activities.” The legislation was introduced last month by state Senator Ileana Garcia, Newsweek reported.

The bill states that “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight is prohibited.”

The legislation outlines that anyone who violates the proposed law would be subject to a second-degree misdemeanor and a fine of up to $10,000.

Of horse dewormer up your sorry ass is in keeping with conservative valued medicine to fight Covid 19. And when all your sorry asses are full of dewormer your horses will go untreated for lack of dewormer. They will die and you all will of course blame Hunter Biden, because his pardon. However since you pumped your ass full of dewormer instead of getting the tried and true Covid vaccine you’ll probably die so fuck your horses.

awww forget it. i know how........... its just so freaking annoying

i know it has been at least discussed to use the release of reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to help reflect sunlight to reduce global warming. though i'm not aware of any plan to do such a thing or scientific conclusion that it will even work. so i have no idea what this law is for other than what rethug laws are USUALLY for...... "owning the libs"

Along with certain immigrants who bring their conservative "values", and there you have it.

State is a lost cause. Too bad, it's a gorgeous state, not so much the people.

The temperature and intensity of sunlight might be affected.

They had better be careful how they word this law.

Oh, and no re-directing of hurricanes by T**** nukes.
