Florida Introduces Bill to Ban 'Weather Modification'
Source: Newsweek
Published Dec 02, 2024 at 9:35 AM EST
Florida State Senator Ileana Garcia has introduced legislation to prohibit weather modification activities in the Sunshine State. The bill was filed on November 20 by Garcia, a Republican who has served in the Florida State Senate since 2020.
The "Weather Modification Activities" bill sets out 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."
As per the bill, any individual or corporation that commits a weather modification in violation of the bill will be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor and charged up to $10,000. Each individual violation will count as a separate offense. In addition to preventative measures, the bill also states that the governor of Florida should on a continuing basis "consider steps that could be taken to mitigate the harmful consequences of emergencies." The bill also repeals aspects of existing weather modification laws, including definitions and licenses.
Explaining the bill in a statement to Newsweek, Senator Garcia said: "The bill essentially repeals outdated provisions related to various aspects of the weather modification law, including definitions, licensing requirements, and the processes surrounding the application and issuance of licenses. More specifically, it prohibits certain acts intended to influence temperature, weather patterns, or sunlight intensity within our state's atmosphere. In summary, this legislation will enhance our regulatory framework to safeguard against improper use while promoting responsible practices in weather modification.

to come up with Maga nonsense.
I think they do it because it's a white thing,
now that people of other identities are the
rational ones, and they just can't fathom
really stupid, crazy white leaders as not
superior to that.

(3,995 posts)Admittedly, the umbrella ( "an apparatus" ) would only be "released" or "injected" into the atmosphere six or so feet above the beach sand, but still it should affect the temperature and the intensity of sunlight beneath its canopy....

Time to pass some laws enabling the good Lord to keep us "safe"! In the meantime, decree that stuff like climate change and sea level rise are completely fabricated hoaxes (in Florida anyway).

The only problem with Science vs Stupidity is that they both begin with "S". For quite a few, "Stupidity" is the road most traveled.
