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.”
Next up is a bill to shoot every remaining unicorn
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
MTG is dumb as a stone and I can’t comprehend how she is still in office
Her voters are dumber than she is.
That’s how she is still in office.
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
Maybe they’ll unintentionally outlaw pollution like when the Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis in 2018
Sadly, all it will take is some CEO to publicly state “I didn’t intend to pollute the environment. I dumped dangerous chemicals into nature because I wanted more money. Yes, I knew my actions would modify the weather, as this legislation states. But that was not my express purpose. My purpose was to be able to afford my 17th yacht so my peers would accept me.”
Perfectly legal.
Go get 'em, Marge. Champion of the dummies.
Are they literally just laying the groundwork to frame Democrats for weather modifications so they can blame all of climate change on us and create a modern day witch hunt? Seriously? How the fuck is anyone stupid enough to believe this shit?
How the fuck is anyone stupid enough to believe this shit?
The American “education” system… that’s how. Conservatives paid good money over the decades to build this level of general stupidity.
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.
They will be happy to ban space exploration actually. Half of them believe there is a firmament there anyway.
Does this make “Rollin’ coal” illegal?
Geoengineering… like fracking?
Or like building man-made lakes and tunnels? What about digging a pool in my backyard?
It’s like utterly humorless Art Bell fans took over the government.
All this is gonna stop is cloud seeding, since that is literally the only way in which we manipulate the weather.
Well… On purpose, I mean. If this has the side effect of outlawing all greenhouse emissions because it’s altering the weather in form of making shit hotter, that’s a win.
Edit: Also I am reminded of the time some PR lady for HAARP said the array can manipulate the weather because, technically, it could punch a hole in clouds directly above it. Which I thought was just stupid, even as a joke, because they were trying to squash the rumors that it was some kind of hurricane machine.
You know it ain’t. This is her trying to ban some conspiracy theory non existent weather device, just like the space laser she was crying about a couple years ago.
What’s the worst that can happen, farmers face droughts and companies can’t allow relief due to legality so the crops just die and we have food shortages? I mean that just hurts the farmers and the non-rich… So no fucks they will give
Oh for fucks sake…. How can one woman be some incredibly dense?
She probably heard somewhere that is why there were flash floods in Texas because some evil genius is punishing “real Americans”.
The ironic thing is the GOP constant bashing of clean, renewable energy and promoting fossil fuels and coal really is affecting the weather, just not in a very predictable or controlled way.
This is the same moron that has long believed that the Jews control space lasers that manipulate the weather.
I am surprised it took her this long to make a move.
I mean who else wants to hurt God loving Texans other than the radical left? No one that’s who. The radical left is lying to you about climate change so they can hide their secret Jewish space lasers and punish anyone on the right for speaking out. Like, if you’re on the right you’re not even allowed to speak anymore, at all, about anything. It’s always the left agenda this, or left agenda that, bo one listens to the right anymore. The radical left terrorists have bullied the right with fake climate change so now when there’s a national disaster the left can come out with their conspiracy theories about climate change when we really know what they’re doing. The left terrorists hate America and want to destroy it by making more natural disasters, and making them more serious then lie to your face and call it climate change when it’s really them who are causing natural disasters to change in our climate to silence the right.
~Hopefully obvious that is parody~
So glad we handed over all levers of power to these morons.
Does this include using a sharpie to control a hurricane?
Does it include the pollutants coming from her private jet ?
At this point she is trolling with legislation, this is not even legislation for financial profit, she is just doing it to fuck with the minds of people that support green energy transition against climate change. Pure malicious glee. I hope she faces mob justice at this point.
