Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make "the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity" a felony.

"I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity," she wrote. "It will be a felony offense."

She added: "We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering."

This reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillotine.

Would this... proposed legislation... mean that SpaceX will now be prohibited from flooding LEO with Starlink comsats?

Loading the upper atmosphere with ozone-destroying aluminum and other heavy metals as those things fall out of orbit, not to mention rapidly increasing light and RF pollution, definitely qualify as an uncontrolled geoengineering experiment, albeit one whose effects were known before launch. I could go on about the deleterious effects of these orbiting swarms, but - the ball's in your court, Congresswoman Greene.

@RememberTheApollo_

OMG I think this is an opening for an absolutely different kind of green new deal. Wait till she finds out how the weather is being modified (can somebody tell her that Elon Musk’s data center is running the numbers and doing it?)

And I’m going to have to ask now that the Republicans are in charge of everything with the next big disaster occurs. What is she gonna do?

It's like utterly humorless Art Bell fans took over the government.

And thus more time and money is wasted...

Wasn't there some doge tip site where Americans could post this?

anything but the real issue

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

These people are dumb as rocks. There are also similar elements in GA like Kandiss Taylor(stupid name) beginning their political careers also proclaiming that Climate Change is fake but also suggesting that unprecedented weather conditions must be the work of external forces presumably also blaming the jews.

wow that's quite a twist, USA is going green! Right?

Thats what I'm understanding. Finally someone willing to take on the Fossil Fuel Industry

Wonder if this could be used against fossil fuel or chemical companies. The only words that would need to be dropped is "express purpose"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Can you guys please try to elect some people that will actually do the job they are voted on to do instead of waste everyone's time and accomplish nothing. Tearing shit down is incredibly easy, building shit up takes decades. You ha e severely fucked yourselves over and destroyed all the work of the past 50-75 years of being a country in the modern world. Y'all are fucked and still talking about the next vote like it even fucking matters anymore. America is fucking gone man, you just don't realize it yet.

gotta shoot them. there's no other way. they have tried all the peaceful options already multiple times each.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You don't shoot them. You gather in large mobs and take them out of their houses and burn them or hang them or decapitate them in public. There has to be "due process" by the law of the land, otherwise it's just nutsos with guns killing people. Mob justice is rarely the answer, but in cases like this it's the only thing that will work. You also can't bank on your compromised justice system to punish these people, they built the system so they can't be.

this is stupid, but it's it a wolf in sheep's clothing to ban any policy against climate change?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Why the fuck did we thaw her?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Nobody wanted that. She thawed naturally with global temperatures rise.

Could MTG accidentally tackle climate change ? that would be amazing

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Unfortunately, this bill would actually do the opposite. While expert opinion seems to vary on the subject of geoengineering and its attendant risks, it might become a necessary tool for tackling climate change. The standard theory is that we could disperse aresolized materials at high altitudes that would increase atmospheric albedo (reflectivity) to reduce the amount of sunlight absorbed by the atmosphere. This wouldn't be permanent, but it could buy us time as we work on decarbonizing.

It's because MAGA is spreading conspiracies that geoengineering is to blame for the Texas flood.

Cool

Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won't fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

It's amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

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

Tbf, if it comes to that, any nation or cooperative group of nations can do this without US law doing a damn thing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
