It sounds like they're mixing "chemtrails" and "cloud seeding". And they don't understand either...
How dare you read the article!
That is by far one of the stupidest public consultations I've read about.
One of the stupidest public consultations you’ve read about so far.
What the fuck!
I just read the article, and I think it's completely misrepresenting the bill! From what I can see, the article is just inventing this link to the chemtrails conspiracy.
Does this bill ever mention the word "chemtrails" or "contrails", at all?
From what I can tell, the bill is completely talking about cloud seeding, which is definitely its own thing. Cloud seeding is fraught enough, it's a relatively complicated issue with very serious environmental impacts, it does not need to be mixed up chemtrails which are a bullshit conspiracy theory (the opposite of a serious issue).
Hey Alabama Political Reporter go find your journalistic integrity, I think you dropped it somewhere.
Eh. They’re also blaming flooding on cloud seeding based on bad anecdotes.
The camp mystic flood, that was a massive storm that dumped shitoads of rain in an area known to prone to flash flooding, all because a conservative commentator in ala-fucking-bama happened to be near camp mystic in Texas to see them seeding clouds… just before the flood started
Probably, I suspect, because they don’t want to admit that GOP policies in Texas are fucking people over. Like the lack of being connected to either national power grid, or in the case of camp mystic, a dore lacking of storm/flood management infrastructure. (Including warning systems.)
