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.
