Don't look at the geek, look for the guys in the crowd trying to pick your pockets.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

God the American public is so stupid.
Republicans: chemtrails bad
Unless it's just air, land, or sea pollution from our chronies.
God they're insufferable.
Kids. Don't do drugs.
Kids, don't be morons.
Their state might sink under the ocean, but at least the sky will be free of linear water vapor. Freedom!
The Disney spray nozzles during Summer are weather modifications! Get them!
Ok. Then they can stop all the measures taken to protect citrus from freezing. That’s weather modification.
Oh boy, political theater. Assuming it's not their actual crackpot belief. Given the Orange Idiot's cabinet picks though, I wouldn't bet in that assumption being accurate.
So what about when Florida crops are starved for rain?
Lmao, enjoy dealing with all the nuts trying to report “chemtrails” now.
Hell, maybe giving them a reason to flood legal channels is the goal and not the side effect.
So they are finally going to combat climate change? By making driving and heating mostly, and breathing in general illegal?
No, because as the article says it's only emissions done for the express purpose of changing the weather that the bill forbids. That's how they make it legal to break things but illegal to even try to fix them.
Sounds like a $10,000 fee to chem trail all over their state.
So when people say, the democrats do nothing, do they mean in comparison to bills like this? I mean, technically You're right, but... dear god.
The "chemtrails" will continue, because they're a natural side effect of airliner travel in certain conditions.
Dumb Floridians will call authorities.
What will the state do? Tell the airlines they are liable for something they aren't doing?
The farce has to end somewhere.
Edit: let's just hope it ends before hillbillies feel justified for shooting at passenger aircraft.
I mean... Contrails are bad for the climate and should be avoided, and it wouldn't cost that much more.
Tho we all know that they accidentally stumbled into maybe a good idea.
This cirrus-forming phenomenon could account for around 35% of aviation’s total contribution to climate change—or about 1% to 2% of overall global warming, according to some estimates.
I had absolutely no clue that they had an impact, much less such a significant one. Thanks for sharing!
Also interesting:
A small fraction of overall flights, between 2% and 10%, create about 80% of the contrails
“So today we pass an important bill to address nefarious government activities that we know are changing our countries climate. We will not tolerate any artificial means to alter weather.”
Everyone claps and congratulate each other on a job well done.
“Next, we are going to introduce severe penalties for any crazy scientists going around and scaring our states fine people with talk of climate change and blaming it on human activities.”
Everyone claps again.
