Chuds try to ban chemtrails, accidentally pass the strictest environmental regulations for aviation on Earth.

"Wait, what do you mean we banned all airplanes!?"

Oh well, I guess we need to build high speed rail.

South Dakotan isolationism, ensuring another century of irrelevance.

Weird that the already currently existing syracuse station isn't on that map.

The Minneapolis to Duluth expansion is all but dead in the water.

"Can't release chemicals into the air" is the most restrictive and best for the environment policy they could have. I couldn't have come up with anything better, besides removal of chemicals from the air. Too bad it's built on rabid chuddery

That bill as written just bans air travel unless somebody wants to explain to me how emissions from burning jet fuel dont count as chemicals.

The white lines coming out of planes are actually cum, they're mating.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

Is it even physically possible to stop contrails from forming behind planes?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

Yea we just gotta heat up the air enough, and the good news is we’ve been working on it as hard as we can for years

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They form due to condensing water vapor as ice crystals, it’s dependant on temperature, humidity and pressure. It’s potentially the largest climate change factor from airtravel - not the burning of fuel, due to its own greenhouse effect (at least in the short term). But the jury is still out on that. The UK and presumably other nations are looking at reducing contrails through routing (at different altitudes in different weather conditions etc). So I guess this is accidentally not a bad idea but for the wrong reasons.

How does the water vapor affect the climate?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Because unlike water vapour in air, the ice crystals in the contrail reflect light (which is why we can see them) which causes a radiative forcing effect preventing infrared radiation leaving the earth, causing heating.

Adds mass to a quantity of air, more mass means that quantity of air can absorb more heat and hold on to that heat longer.

Ice crystals, like Palacegalleryration pointed out, work like tin foil in an oven. The crystals work like a blanket that reflects some parts of sunlight back to Earth instead of continuing out to space.

No, if a state is actually fucking stupid enough to pass this and has an enforcement measure airlines might literally pull out of that state because otherwise they're going to constantly be fined for operating an airplane within the bounds of reality.

New item on the ticket's fare, "Chemtrail Fee", incoming.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

you can do shapes where it doesn't happen as much but i forget what the tradeoff is

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

So they're trying to ban planes from their sky? Not too sure how this would even work.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Comrade red states combating climate change by banning air travel

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

We could pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars

Map of states that shouldn't be allowed to provide their input on actual issues.

It's funny that I don't need to know the geography of the USA to say that the lower one is Texas.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Bad thing? Texas, Florida, southern sates, plains states.

Not this time! Hooray.

This is such a non-issue when snipe hunting isn’t banned and the boogeyman is still at large.

Borrowing that map from the beer post the other day:

This shows PFA contamination of the municipal water supply (also breweries, but focus on the PFAs). Some very interesting overlaps there. thonk

All my cases in small claims court against the tooth fairy get dismissed “with prejudice” but they pass legislation against chemtrails? Just out of touch.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is a good start, but when are we gonna end the inhumane torture of the Kandahar giant at Guantanamo.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wanna see an anime of this.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

has there ever been any kind of study whatsoever on chemtrails in the last 20+ years people have talked about it?
