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’ll rotfl my mao off when this law will turn out to accidentally punish fossil fuel and chemical companies dispersing chemicals or substances into the atmosphere and altering weather, also known as climate change.

    Oh goodie, more we get to suffer more of Marjorie Karen Green’s delusional stupidity. I love living in the Fascist States of America.

    I can see how people in the future could turn this one around on to oil and plastic companies. We should probably not stop this one.

      Express purpose probably saves them. The express purpose is to vent externalities

    Can you guys please try to elect some people that will actually do the job they are voted on to do instead of waste everyone’s time and accomplish nothing. Tearing shit down is incredibly easy, building shit up takes decades. You ha e severely fucked yourselves over and destroyed all the work of the past 50-75 years of being a country in the modern world. Y’all are fucked and still talking about the next vote like it even fucking matters anymore. America is fucking gone man, you just don’t realize it yet.

        You don’t shoot them. You gather in large mobs and take them out of their houses and burn them or hang them or decapitate them in public. There has to be “due process” by the law of the land, otherwise it’s just nutsos with guns killing people. Mob justice is rarely the answer, but in cases like this it’s the only thing that will work. You also can’t bank on your compromised justice system to punish these people, they built the system so they can’t be.

        It would have helped to not elect complete idiots, but I digress. Not worth having a conversation with an imbecile.

    The only “weather modification machines” are fossil fuel powered energy plants. We should join together with MTG to outlaw them.

      I mean, technically we’ve been playing around with cloud seeding and such which is about the only thing I can think of that would even come close to what she is talking about. But it’s by no means a common occurrence.

    All the fucking stupidest people. Every goddamn idiotic conspiracy theory is getting a pipeline straight to mainstream news outlets and a rep in government now. Instead of some stupid Bircher literature or having to stand out on the street and screech nonsense at passerby who could just ignore the crazy people…

    I am seriously wondering when the moon landing denialists and the flat earth morons and the HIV-denialists will get their day of representation, too.

    We already have the anti-vaxxer dumbfucks, the Qanon loons, the evolution-denying dipshits, what else is missing…? How about David Icke level bullshit about lizard people?

    JFC.

    So carbon dioxide? Guess we better shut down the coal power plants. MTG says so!
