    Lol, they’re literally the state that needs weather modification the most. Just ask the remaining home insurers.

    This is hilarious.

    Honestly, this is a good thing. Red states should all pass ridiculous laws like this. Get thing awful bill passed, and then go to Florida and call 911 on every vapor trail or especially long cloud you see.

    “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight is prohibited.”

    🤔 a substance or device released into atmosphere for the express purpose of affecting the temperature or sunlight intensity

    Are they trying to ban misters, solar shades, and umbrellas?

      Unfortunately tinfoil hats could be classified as an apparatus that reduces the intensity of sunlight, so those are gonna have to go as well.

    Oh boy, political theater. Assuming it’s not their actual crackpot belief. Given the Orange Idiot’s cabinet picks though, I wouldn’t bet in that assumption being accurate.

    “So today we pass an important bill to address nefarious government activities that we know are changing our countries climate. We will not tolerate any artificial means to alter weather.”

    Everyone claps and congratulate each other on a job well done.

    “Next, we are going to introduce severe penalties for any crazy scientists going around and scaring our states fine people with talk of climate change and blaming it on human activities.”

    Everyone claps again.

    Don’t look at the geek, look for the guys in the crowd trying to pick your pockets.
