Hope they never need to put out fires using planes dropping dihydrogen monoxide

So they don't crop dust in Tennessee then?

'Silent but deadly' is a misdemeanor.

O! So we don't have to do anything: said every airline ever.

I love how they think that both chemtrails are real and that the evil secret cabal will care about their little law.

These people don't have any internal consistency in their mad conspiracy theories.

Wait until they find out the air you expel when breathing is made of chemicals and you're injecting them in the athmosphere.

In a joking response, John Ray Clemmons, a Democrat from Nashville, introduced an amendment that would protect fictional beasts. "This amendment would make sure that we are protecting yetis, or Sasquatch or Bigfoot, from whatever this conspiracy is that we're passing in this legislation," he said during debate.

Imagine being the poor bastard DA asked to bring this case. FFS may as well make leprechauns illegal. Tennessee, man. Come on.

Has anyone tried passing a bill to make Tennessee have lunar gravity on weekends and holidays? I might think about vacationing there.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Something is fishy, if you look up the bills that supposedly did this, they don't say anything about this topic.

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 39; Title 42; Title 43; Title 44; Title 55; Title 58; Title 59; Title 60; Title 65; Title 68 and Title 69, relative to environmental protection. Environmental Preservation - As introduced, decreases, from 180 days to 150 days, the time that the air pollution control board can have more than one vacancy after an appointing authority of the board receives sufficient information to fill the appropriate vacancy before the board is required to report to the government operations committees. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 39; Title 42; Title 43; Title 44; Title 55; Title 58; Title 59; Title 60; Title 65; Title 68 and Title 69.

Edit: looks like I missed the amendment in the mobile version of the site. What's funny is by the wording of the amendment, it's perfectly legal to use airplanes to disperse mind control chemicals, lol. They are only banning efforts to combat climate change.

AMENDMENT #1 rewrites the bill to prohibit the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight.

So they forgot to ban the chemtrails that are making the frogs gay. Rainbows aren't real. They are just a side affect of the chemtrails

So much for crop dusting in Tennessee!!

[–] [email protected] 134 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Wow, that's great!! So I guess all the chemicals coming out of the coal, oil and gas fired power plants will be stopped then.

CO2, NOx, particulates all are chemicals and are all intentionally released during combustion.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Me: breathing in oxygen and exhaling CO2

Cops: you're under arrest.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That's the least of your worries - no more farting!!!

Instead it broadly prohibits "affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight".

Let's go after companies emitting CO2, CO, SO2, etc. TN is going to have to go green real quick.

I'm guessing this is targeted at the geoengineering idea of emitting sulfur dioxide alternatives to bring down local temperatures but it is written in a way that prohibits CO2 emission. Good job, Republicans. You just passed the greenest bill in the country.
