At least eight states, including Florida and Tennessee, have now introduced chemtrail-coded legislation to prohibit “geo-engineering” or “weather modification”.

Happy to hear we can keep the chemtrails for mind control going

Chemtrails were real. Seems like a good practice to outlaw. It is also possible that legislators are lying about their intentions with this bill, and are instead trying to side-outlaw something else with this. They're politicians, they're evil.

*edit, added 2nd reference from wikipedia

That wiki link has nothing to do with chemtrails

How it used to be a fringe thing we can laugh at and dismiss, at a time when scientific documentaries were also entertaining and enlightening.

Planes issue horrible chemicals that cause all kinds of issues. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.

My understanding is that these bills would make that illegal. That's good.

Pretty sure that the actual components of airline exhaust would be considered legal. They wouldn't just ban all fossil fuel powered flight, they just want to ban the non-existant mind-control/climate manipulation they think the airplanes are doing.

These people think that jet contrails are like, mind control chemicals being sprayed by airplanes flying over. That's what they're trying to ban, something that isn't even happening.
