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.”

    I haven’t read the article or comments yet. Just the post title. I am afraid of the amount of brain cells I am about to lose. I’m going in, will update in a moment.

    Edit: what the fuck did I just read. A new bill to stop a conspiracy theory? MTG is dumb as a stone and I can’t comprehend how she is still in office

      Her voters are dumber than she is.

      Could the bill be used to base measures on that help combat climate change? Sometimes idiots are actually useful.

        Could it? Possibly. Would it? Probably not. At least not with big daddi T/ republicans in office. They deny the effects of pollutants in the atmosphere so there is no weather modification taking place (according to them). Considering that trump is taking away tax credits for solar and wind and is increasing leasing and tax credits for oil, gas, and coal industries I don’t think this bill will provide much benefit for the climate
