Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make “the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity” a felony.
…
“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,” she wrote. “It will be a felony offense.”
She added: “We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”
All the fucking stupidest people. Every goddamn idiotic conspiracy theory is getting a pipeline straight to mainstream news outlets and a rep in government now. Instead of some stupid Bircher literature or having to stand out on the street and screech nonsense at passerby who could just ignore the crazy people…
I am seriously wondering when the moon landing denialists and the flat earth morons and the HIV-denialists will get their day of representation, too.
We already have the anti-vaxxer dumbfucks, the Qanon loons, the evolution-denying dipshits, what else is missing…? How about David Icke level bullshit about lizard people?
JFC.
Why is mtg still able to talk?
Marjorie Taylor Green is such a waste of resources.
Ugly, dumb and vile.
And I bet she stinks.
anything but the real issue
I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,”
So carbon dioxide? Guess we better shut down the coal power plants. MTG says so!
All pollution?!? Make all pollution illegal?!?!?
That’s what it is, right?
Alas “express purpose” is in there. Clearly the express purpose for petrol companies is profit. And CO2, other pollutants are just inadvertent things that happened on the way to (destroying the planet for) profit. I mean they only sold the petrol products, they didn’t force people that purchased the gasoline to burn it. Maybe we can go after the combustion engine producers?
So one could say they hobby at creating potassium iodide, but its expensive to pay to dispose of, so I dump it out of the back of an aircraft that was hired. There was no intention of actually seeding the clouds and making it rain, right?
She’s attempting to ban Geoengineering. From Wikipedia:
Geoengineering (also known as climate engineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system intended to counteract human-caused climate change.[1] The term commonly encompasses two broad categories: large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM). CDR involves techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is generally considered a form of climate change mitigation. SRM aims to reduce global warming by reflecting a small portion of sunlight (solar radiation) away from Earth and back into space. Although historically grouped together, these approaches differ substantially in mechanisms, timelines, and risk profiles, and are now typically discussed separately.[2]: 168 [3] Some other large-scale engineering proposals—such as interventions to slow the melting of polar and alpine ice—are also sometimes classified as forms of geoengineering.
Some types of geoengineering present political, social and ethical issues. One common objection is that focusing on these technologies could undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Effective governance and international oversight are widely regarded as essential.
Major scientific organizations have examined the potential, risks, and governance needs of geoengineering, including the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,[4][5][6] the Royal Society,[7] the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),[8] and the World Climate Research Programme.[1]
Misting fans are now a felony
AC units blackmarket about to blow up
This is performative ignorance, to please the home schooled bible toting cretins who vote.
Right, it makes more sense
What an absolute fucking idiot.
Came here to say this.
???
These people are dumb as rocks. There are also similar elements in GA like Kandiss Taylor(stupid name) beginning their political careers also proclaiming that Climate Change is fake but also suggesting that unprecedented weather conditions must be the work of external forces presumably also blaming the jews.
So would preventing “geoengineering” also prevent trying to stop climate change?
She only knows that word because someone told her today
She’s a bloody idiot
I honestly can’t tell whether her intent is to block any counter-climate change projects or if this is just a dumb chemtrails thing.
I mean, I assume it’s chemtrails, given the source, but it could easily be a “I like the smell of forest fires, and you’ll reduce hurricane intensity over my dead body.” Given the source.
Written nebulously to cancel environmental efforts, I’m sure.
THEY will tell you when YOU broke the law. Then “deport” you to a private funded prison in a foreign country.
They embrace the invisible. You have no defense against their claims.
Bingpot.
Or like, a river flooding
This is awesome. Do it. What’s gonna happen when the contrails don’t disappear? Who are they gonna arrest? Gonna have to stock up on popcorn because the theatre of the ignorant is about to get really interesting. Finally a piece of legislation I can get excited about.
This is a bill to arrest people trying to prevent climate change.
How so ?
Preventing something like this:
While geoengineering isn’t really something that has been tried yet, it’s actual purpose if done would be to address climate change. Albiet, not really prevention but more in a canceling out some of the symptoms sense.
Geoengineering is a field dedicated to exactly that - mitigating climate change by modifying solar input and so forth.
Basically, the Republicans have been shooting the environment and now want to ban tourniquets and sutures.
Don’t worry, they’ll figure it out later
So go after the bullshit corpos releasing megatons of co2 into the atmosphere
That’s not for the express purpose of altering the weather. That’s just a lucky happenstance for ol’ Marge.
Could MTG accidentally tackle climate change ? that would be amazing
Unfortunately, this bill would actually do the opposite. While expert opinion seems to vary on the subject of geoengineering and its attendant risks, it might become a necessary tool for tackling climate change. The standard theory is that we could disperse aresolized materials at high altitudes that would increase atmospheric albedo (reflectivity) to reduce the amount of sunlight absorbed by the atmosphere. This wouldn’t be permanent, but it could buy us time as we work on decarbonizing.
Similar to a volcano eruption. Almost related, but I’ll shove it in here anyway, Rasputina - Year Without a Summer
If I could control the weather, this woman would never not be getting targeted by lightning. She’d have to run serpentine whenever she was outside to dodge all the lightning bolts aimed at her.
Calm down Zeus. You’re getting another unhealthy attraction to a mortal woman.
