There are many, many layers of stupid stacked here, but at the same time, this bill is quite sweeping and potentially dangerous. You might be opposed to the idea of manipulating atmospheric composition to fight climate change and it's certainly not something we might want to just go ahead and do, but it is a possibility that's worth exploring and ultimately might become a necessity. This bill kills any attempt to even experiment with this kind of technology, at least in the affected legislature.

Geo engineering is absolutely not something we want to look into. As if we could forsee the consequences, as if any one country has the right to decide to affect the entire world's weather, and as if we could trust the companies that are doing this.
They have a meeting every year in Switzerland, where they huddle up and go over their plans, coordinate on selling to governments, pr, all that. Epstein pal and childfucker Bill Gates is one of them. He is as convinced in the righteousness of pumping masses of sulphur dioxide in the upper atmosphere as he is of making roundup ready proprietary strains of crops to be able to use higher amounts of herbicides that systematically poison us, and every form of life, in entire watersheds. He invested in Monsanto, with his foundation at that, such a charitable contribution to society!
this is just to much on the nose with the old man yells at clouds.
HB25 provides a means for enforcement of the law under the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. The Department would be required to establish a publicly available email address and online form for the reporting of violations. residents could also report what they believe to be violations by telephone or mail.
I wonder what the job of an ADEM Chemtrail Investigator will be like
Sounds like a candidate for the easiest job in the world. “My job is to prevent something that doesn’t exist.” Okay. Sounds like a perfect nepotism gig for someone’s idiot relative.
“But the skies of today are not the skies of my youth,” Butler said.
No shit. There are more jets and more airports than there were in your youth.
Seems to me that this reporting system is ripe for comical levels of exploitation and spam. Which should absolutely be encouraged. We can’t be too careful about the scourge of dihydrogen monoxide.
We're getting played
Anything but admit that their #1 (and #2 and #3) favorite wizard either wanted a bunch of kids dead or was powerless to prevent it.
The chemtrails aren't a thing, but in the legislators small mind, who would be behind them? Are they actually thinking that there's some private individual that is spending billions building a secret massive network of bribed pilots and bribed mechanics that are spraying such chemicals to change the weather or influence the people in some ways?

These are good laws if they are written broadly enough to forbid geo engineering. I don't care how the right gets there, it's beyond arrogant and reckless to allow billionaires, to pay them, to spray masses of sulpur dioxide into the upper atmosphere to block out the sun in a mr. burns esque intervention.
They don't have the right to affect everyone's weather, we don't know the consequences of such an action, and the people running these companies are fundamentally dishonest and have been hotboxing with their yes men in enclosed spaces smelling their own farts for so long they don't even know what's true. Looking at you Gates, fuck any children lately?
While some of the weather manipulation theories on the right are a bit out there, not that the government hasn't experimented with weather manipulation, it's usually just too much for them to do as in the case with making hurricanes worse heating up the ocean. Anyway, instead of mocking them, when they are on to a kernal of truth, better to join with them and prevent real harms being perpetrated. Remember, Gates, noted epstein pal and childfucker will use influence agents to associate those opposed to his geo engineering schemes of blotting out the sun from the upper atmosphere, convinced he has foreseen all the consequences from such a thing, with chemtrail cranks and other such conspiracies spread by cynical rw influencers.
But the geo engineering is very real, and they are doing test projects as we speak, and facing worldwide backlash whereever they do.
