The law and its premise is nuts, lets just get that out of the way first.

"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.

So on one hand this is a reading about banning any efforts of geoengineering. But modern day airplanes already dump "chemical compounds" into Tennessee airspace today as part of jet engine exhaust. The argument would be "oh, planes are okay because they're not dumping to affect weather even though those gases are affecting the weather via climate change." Doesn't that argument open up license for anyone to dump whatever they want (including geoengineering materials) if they can claim that isn't their primary purpose?

Fucking Chemtrails. I have MS and one of the times I was in a physical rehabilitation clinic, relearning how to walk, I had a nurse who believed in chemtrails. She asked if I realized that my MS was caused by chemtrails. I was taken aback. I was actively playing civ with a friend who heard my side of the conversation. After she said that, I had a short conversation with her about how chemtrails aren't real. She said "Well I guess all those congressional hearings I watched were fake." To which I said that we are never going to agree on this and it's better to just stop talking so we don't have an argument. She basically agreed and thankfully she was gone by the time I needed my MS meds that evening. Chemtrails are BS and yet so many people believe they're real, even in professions that should understand they're not real, that it is genuinely depressing.

Breaking news: Party that built its entire platform on a stupid conspiracy theory now expanding platform to other stupid conspiracy theories.

How do they just keep going backwards?

states to visit: ~~Tennessee~~

Tennessee. Passing legislation that regulates imagination.

Oh good. Mission accomplished. I guess they'll have time now to go after the real issues, like... What's inside everyone's pants when going to the bathroom. Or making sure women don't have access to health care when needed. Even ensuring priests are in every school...

Christ we have created a dumbass country

Its about time, maybe now my wife will come back and listen to me knowing that we can finally live with clean air and no more frogs turnin gay

The bill would have some merit if it just hadn't tacked on the chemtrail nonsense. The issue of geoengineering and how one group or country's activities can affect others negatively is valid concern, but it goes far beyond protecting a single state within its borders. Is Tennessee going to sue states west and south of them because weather movement there ends up spawning tornadoes in TN? The environment is shared, we all have to act together.

In related news, The boogeyman, Sasquach, and Godzilla are also forbidden to enter Tennessee. The rainbow has been officially reclaimed from the homosexuals that stole it from God, but the bill to build a wall to keep out the gay frogs died in committee over funding issues (Mexico refused to pay for it).

Guess I’m not flying to Tennessee because my plane makes condensation.

Now can we pass some legislation preventing corruption? Or helping families with kitchen table economics? No? oh, okay.

In a perfect world, all the large airlines would boycott the state.

Wait, what? Chemtrail is real?!?!

I feel safer already. /s
