The spectacular level of cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously not believe in man-made climate change but also believe in evil scientists changing the weather.
Excuse me, are you a scientist of any kind? Then shut the fuck up.
sorry Florida Man, I have it on good authority that God is punishing the wicked. since God trumps your laws I am right.
Are there any major petrochem plants in Florida? Because their dumping of chemicals in the air when they burn off product does create acid rain which seems to qualify as a third degree felony according to their own dumbass definition. Or what about when plants explode because of shitty safety oversight? Those chemicals are definitely making the environment uninhabitable and definitely modify the “intensity of sunlight” from the billow smoke until it clears up. Did republicans inadvertently make a green policy?? I’m sure when they get sued they will immediately add, a “except for these guys” amendment.
"Too many people jacking off leads to biblical floods "
it requires monthly mandatory reports for any airplane that can modify weather.
perfect for malicious compliance, report every single aircraft that passes through the airport because their exhaust modifies the weather.
clog those idiots with their own bureaucracy
I mean, he’s kind of right. Humanity is geo-engineering catastrophic weather events. By driving climate change. Morons.
The Jewish Water Gun.
I mean that’s literally happening through coal power plants, non-electric cars and so on. We should really stop that weather modification!
See, that’s what we don’t understand in their legislative genius! Coal? Oil? Trash piles? All of that doesn’t contribute anything to anything, of course, besides padding their wallet with lobbyist money. Jewish space lasers, and chemical typhoon generating planes from the democrats though? That’s where the real problem is
Lol pLaYiNg GoD
Unaddressed man-made climate change leading to unprecedented volatility and extremes in weather as predicted since the 70s? “Bullshit.”
A secret cabal of leftists attacking red states (and blue states for… reasons) through advanced undetectable technology (or magic?) that alters the weather creating these extreme events? “Seems reasonable to me.”
Congratulations Florida, you’ve just made every owner of a beach umbrella a felon.
Misters are also illegal now,
What about ladies?
Slow clap
Incredible
Also, every commercial passenger flight is a felon. They are an apparatus released into the atmosphere, and affect weather/climate/intensity of sunlight by causing global dimming. Furthermore, they take the atmosphere in through their engines, and run it through a bunch of air conditioners to cool and filter the air for the cabin, expressly for the purpose of affecting the temperature and climate inside the aircraft, and then exhaust it out of the aircraft back into the atmosphere. Checkmate.
I am all for classifying pollution this way the law, as written, excludes it with this part:
“…for the express purpose of affecting…”
The express purpose of releasing pollution from jets is to provide thrust for transportation. The pollution is a byproduct and not part of the express purpose. An umbrella’s function of blocking the sun is an express purpose of the device.
Very true, your example is airtight. Where mine gets a bit more in the weeds, is the air conditioners and filters in the cabin have an express purpose of manipulating the temperature and climate, that is their only purpose. Otherwise the air coming into the cabin would be so hot from being compressed in the engines everyone would die and all the machines onboard would overheat.
It was a bit more technical, complicated, (air inside a plane in the atmosphere is still air from the atmosphere being manipulated!) and on the edge though, and not as easily conveyed as umbrellas.
Kudos for yours though, it was to the point.
So perhaps, they should just ban the air conditioners on jets to get it technically correct?
the air conditioners and filters in the cabin have an express purpose of manipulating the temperature and climate, that is their only purpose.
I think you’ve accidentally uncovered a better example. Regular home A/Cs work by releasing hot air into the atmosphere:
To make the inside cool, they have to disperse hot air (which is definitely a chemical or substance) into the atmosphere. That is their express purpose.
So by this law, A/C in Florida is banned.
The “have to” is the side effect though. The “express purpose” is still to produce cool inside air.
The express purpose is to affect the temperature within the state borders (inside a building, which is still in the borders).
… (inside a building, which is still in the borders).
…but may be hard to argue it meets the other clause of “in the atmosphere”. Yes, there is air in the building, but unless the building isn’t well sealed (which it would be generally well sealed to keep the cold in) then the cold isn’t expressly being released into the atmosphere.
Just hold on very tight so you don’t release your sunblocking apparatus into the atmosphere.
If its on a pole stuck the ground exposed to the air, its already in the atmosphere and as it is not contained in some other bag or box, it is “released”. Pay your $100k fine citizen.
You use sun block? Straight to jail.
These people have law degrees, and some of them are partially educated. It’s amazing to me someone could type this up and send it to other people without the embarrassment of looking like a fucking moron stopping them.
My sister is highly educated, and started her career doing medical research and got in to crime scene investigation. She ultimately left when she discovered the job she wanted working for the FBI was not nearly scientifically rigorous enough and didn’t really hold water scientifically.
She now sees a psychic, is entirely convinced it’s real, and eats up and parrots every single Republican talking point. Biden too old and dimented, Trump is literally the greatest man alive with decades to live. She even accused our mother of cognitive decline when she didn’t buy the bullshit my sister was spewing. My mother is sharp as a tack and there’s no family history of dementia.
On top of this, my sister’s idiot husband
iswas an executive in charge of international sales and literally lost his job because of the orange man. Still, God’s gift to the US in their eyes.We don’t talk anymore but I’m curious how they feel now, they also suckled on Musk’s taint.
Their ideology started with money. They only cared about taxes. Now they agree with anything anyone says as long as they start with lowering their, already generously low, tax rate.
I followed the #2 link he linked about cloud seeding. From the article:
Veteran Houston meteorologist Travis Herzog weighed in this week, calling the theory scientifically unfounded.
“Cloud seeding cannot create a storm of this magnitude or size. In fact, cloud seeding cannot even create a single cloud,” Herzog said. “All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20% — and even that is on the high end.”
He compared the theory to blowing out a candle and assuming one could extinguish a wildfire. “It is a matter of scale,” he said.
It’s pretty ballsy to provide a link with someone calling out your bullshit while acting as if that link proves your point.
The people who check sources are not the same people who believe this crap
They know what they’re doing. Their constituents may be stupid enough to believe it, but all those people at the top are completely aware of the grift they’re running.
I waffle back and forth with that thought. Every time I think they’re aware, I see another thing that makes me wonder.
Either way, I’m old enough to remember that saying stupid shit, even once, would kill your campaign. FFS, Howard Dean lost for yelling boisterously, once.
That has changed with the systematic dismantling of our education system and the push against critical thinking that started in the Reagan Era. Nowadays people are for the most part, too darn stupid to hold these people accountable.
A lot of them aren’t aware. They belong to a certain peer group that believes different things and any fact that contradict this is an attack on their identity.
There by is a simple experiment about this. Ask a very simple math problem about shampoo and everybody gets the answer right. Ask the same math problem but say it’s about gun control and see basic logic twisted into pretzels.
Money and blackmail can make people do stupid shit
Specialization can breed a narrow limit of scope when it come to general knowledge. Sometimes the best lawyers and surgeons are complete idiots when it comes to falling for things like, say, internet scams. I am not sure if that’s what’s happening here, but I have known enough assistants of big skilled people that they always say “This guy is a brilliant surgeon, but doesn’t know how to cook or even how to shop for his own groceries.”
Seems letting large amounts of greenhouse gases into the air is geoengineering, so maybe we could form an Environmental Protection Agency to crack down on places doing this large scale.
Oh, we’re back on the “free market” bandwagon now?
Sounds like every Floridian should report all the dirty power plants until they are no longer polluting… https://www.wusf.org/environment/2023-10-18/list-highlights-top-greenhouse-gas-suppliers-florida-u-s
No, that’s God‘s healing petrol. Can’t possibly be correct.
