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.
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.
howard dean was already losing when he BYAAAH’d. dan quayle was famous for the idiotic things he’d say, and he became vice president under HW bush - a strategy that bush’s son mimicked to his advantage a decade later.
gaffes didn’t end political careers, negative media coverage did. and they decide before the story happens how they’re going to spin it, no matter the actual content of the interview or speech.
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.
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
My mother once handed me the manual to a dishwasher to prove that I was loading mine “wrong.” Turns out I was doing it the way the manual recommended. She had never actually opened said manual.
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.”
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
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.”
This is the stupidest goddamn timeline. So funny that America was destroyed by malignant idiocy.
They made a documentary about it years ago. It’s called Idiocracy

Which airplanes were spraying over Texas? ADS-B is public information. Show me the flight logs.
Lol yes Cloud Seeding is a thing and dozens of countries do it. Whether or not Cloud Seeding was done doesn’t change the fact Texas can flood, unless you want to play by the Butterfly Effect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect
STFU.
Congratulations Florida, you’ve just made every owner of a beach umbrella a felon.

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.

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.
That’s like saying the express purpose of hunting isn’t to kill something, it’s to acquire meat. The express purpose is to move heat from inside to outside. You can’t “produce” cool air, you can only move heat.
That’s like saying the express purpose of hunting isn’t to kill something, it’s to acquire meat.
If you’re hunting to eat, the express purpose of hunting is to acquire meat. If you’re hunting for sport, then you may not care about the meat the express purpose would be the desire to the kill or the resulting trophy.
You can’t “produce” cool air, you can only move heat.
You’re focusing on the mechanism. The definition of “express purpose” is focusing on the result.
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.
Misters are also illegal now,
What about ladies?
Slow clap
You use sun block? Straight to jail.
Incredible
I guess releasing tons and tons of CO2 into the atmosphere does count as geoengineering and weather modification
God wouldn’t have given us all these coal deposits and oil fields if he didn’t want us to strip mine and frack our way through life leaving our planet a used up husk!
No no no, climate change is a ridiculous lie that no one with half a brain believes. What’s happening is that they are using weather juice to make things bad, sometimes, in some places, they’ve just been doing it so randomly that it almost looks like natural weather. Almost as if… no, they are definitely controlling the weather. Right?
Geoengineering definitely did play a role in any flooding of urban areas in Florida. It’s why there’s urban areas in what’s supposed to be a swamp.
Geoengineering
I’d point out we’ve been geoengineering the atmosphere relentlessly for over 200 years, first with coal and then oil combustion. We’re living in an age of deliberate geoengineering, our children will have worse quality of life than any of us because of our short sighted and selfish ways.
It’s not the weather control bullshit these MORONS suspect, they’re literally leading the charge to do it to themselves and can’t be convinced that less pollution would be preferable.
The first time I heard about the “democratic weather machine” conspiracy I thought it funny. But looking at it again as it spreads I do believe it is a tactic to keep voters while climate change escalates.
If we get new candidates that run on climate promises we now got a seed set to diffame and more importantly mock them. They can play the victim and point fingers. A long standing and well proven tactic.
I do believe it is a tactic to keep voters while climate change escalates.
yup. pay no attention to our petrol-fueled base and the crumbling biosphere, nah, it’s them libs that are, uh, CONTROLLING THE WEATHER, yeah, yeah…
could you imagine the smoking ruin that would be mar-a-lago if libs could control storms? jfc
Dangerous angle. That’d mean giving back Tampa and Miami to the swamps, two leftist strongholds.
Oh I’m not saying to give it up, just that Florida really shouldn’t hate on geoengineering
As someone with deep attachment to the state, I welcome the reversal of destruction. I just hope people don’t catch on to this can of worms before big damage to infrastructure is done. Burn it all down!
Ah, yes, the super well funded climate researchers are murdering people with climate controlling Doppler radars in order to make the poor innocent petroleum industry look bad. All so they can make $120k, if they are extremely lucky. It is definitely not petroleum industry executives making millions spreading disinformation so that they can continue to loot the rest of us.
I mean, he’s kind of right. Humanity is geo-engineering catastrophic weather events. By driving climate change. Morons.
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
"Too many people jacking off leads to biblical floods "
well that assertion does make sense in a way, yes?
all that released semen has to go somewhere, after all.
Article referenced in the letter WRT possible cloud seeding
The law is real and stupid and not based on science. The letter is even dumber. And no, cloud seeding did not cause the 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
This is the horseshit you get when you insist on voting Republican.
These people need to be checked for traumatic brain injuries and/or parasites.
