"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.

So if anyone wants to use “chemicals” to try and do anything corrective for the environment, this bill will also stop them.

Classic 2 faced republican bill.

If the Tennessee Senate’s goal was to waste 45 seconds of my life, mission accomplished.

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 if Tennessee has the jurisdiction to enforce this law seeing as the FAA makes it very clear they get to decide what state and local laws may be enforced.

Chemtrails are the mind control drugs. This is banning cloud seeding which is actually being performed in some locales.

In today's class; how to pass a law that does nothing, affects no one, and makes idiots re-elect you.

Wow, we're really gone aren't we. We're all the way fucked.

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.

100 years ago they banned mustachioed men from holding groundhogs above waist height for longer than 6 minutes per hour….

So it does just what it's designed to - nothing. Welp, guess you got your tin-foil-hat constituents covered. Time well spent.

I guess this bans crop-dusting of any kind unless there is some altitude stipulation involved. Kinda funny if that pans out to be true because I'm sure these Tennessee Republicans are not too keen on organic farming practices.

Clickbait headline.

Chemtrails aren't mentioned anywhere in the bill. They're banning solar geoengineering tests in the state. Which is at least something that some companies are studying, even though the tech doesn't exist yet.

I mean I support this bill. The solution to the climate catastrophe is a carbon tax and eventual carbon burning ban.

We need to shutdown these stupid ideas of geoentineering cooked up by the oil industry.

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.

Critical support to Tennessean used car salesmen with brains so fried by Qanon they're stumbling backwards into opposing Bill Gates geo-engineering bullshit

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?

"This [is] as convincing as saying that alien beings walk among in disguise as people because some people act very strangely.," they added.

Psh, are you seriously saying that lizard alien people who control us all aren't walking disguised among us?? /s

Instantly successful... high fives all around!
