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!

What an absolute fucking idiot.

So would preventing “geoengineering” also prevent trying to stop climate change?

If this unintentionally regulates greenhouse gas emissions I’m going to laugh so hard.

This is performative ignorance, to please the home schooled bible toting cretins who vote.

Misting fans are now a felony

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.

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.

So go after the bullshit corpos releasing megatons of co2 into the atmosphere

So, she wants to ban "cloud seeding"?

These aren't serious people.

I'll rotfl my mao off when this law will turn out to accidentally punish fossil fuel and chemical companies dispersing chemicals or substances into the atmosphere and altering weather, also known as climate change.

Why is mtg still able to talk?

I thought she'd prioritize dealing with sharknado attacks but there we have it.

Does this make "Rollin' coal" illegal?

Maybe they'll unintentionally outlaw pollution like when the Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis in 2018

Marjorie Taylor Green is such a waste of resources.

Ugly, dumb and vile.

And I bet she stinks.

I can see how people in the future could turn this one around on to oil and plastic companies. We should probably not stop this one.

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]

All this is gonna stop is cloud seeding, since that is literally the only way in which we manipulate the weather.

Well... On purpose, I mean. If this has the side effect of outlawing all greenhouse emissions because it's altering the weather in form of making shit hotter, that's a win.

Edit: Also I am reminded of the time some PR lady for HAARP said the array can manipulate the weather because, technically, it could punch a hole in clouds directly above it. Which I thought was just stupid, even as a joke, because they were trying to squash the rumors that it was some kind of hurricane machine.

Stop paying attention to her. Make sure the next thing you click on related to her, is footage of her murder.

I haven’t read the article or comments yet. Just the post title. I am afraid of the amount of brain cells I am about to lose. I’m going in, will update in a moment.

Edit: what the fuck did I just read. A new bill to stop a conspiracy theory? MTG is dumb as a stone and I can’t comprehend how she is still in office

So glad we handed over all levers of power to these morons.

Oh for fucks sake…. How can one woman be some incredibly dense?

She probably heard somewhere that is why there were flash floods in Texas because some evil genius is punishing “real Americans”.

The ironic thing is the GOP constant bashing of clean, renewable energy and promoting fossil fuels and coal really is affecting the weather, just not in a very predictable or controlled way.

Are they literally just laying the groundwork to frame Democrats for weather modifications so they can blame all of climate change on us and create a modern day witch hunt? Seriously? How the fuck is anyone stupid enough to believe this shit?

anything but the real issue

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.

wow that's quite a twist, USA is going green! Right?

Seriously fuck this idiot and the idiots who voted for her. Just a disgraceful embarrassment. Then again so is work, so I get it, but have some dignity.

Geoengineering… like fracking?

Or like building man-made lakes and tunnels? What about digging a pool in my backyard?

Wonder if this could be used against fossil fuel or chemical companies. The only words that would need to be dropped is "express purpose"

Does it include the pollutants coming from her private jet ?

I will fuckin love if she fucks around and discovers climate change

It's because MAGA is spreading conspiracies that geoengineering is to blame for the Texas flood.

At this point she is trolling with legislation, this is not even legislation for financial profit, she is just doing it to fuck with the minds of people that support green energy transition against climate change. Pure malicious glee. I hope she faces mob justice at this point.

There is a nugget of 'truth' here:

https://csl.noaa.gov/news/2023/390_1107.html

I can't find my good source on tis, but there are very real proposals to seed the arctic or antarctic with aerosols to stem a runaway greenhouse gas effect.

It's horrific. It would basically rain down sulfiric acid onto the terrain; even worse than it sounds. But it would only cost billions, not trillions of other geoengineering schemes I've scene.

...And the worst part is it's arctic/climate researchers proposing this. They intimately know exactly how awful it would be, which shows how desperate they are to even publish such a thing.

But I can totally understand how a layman (maybe vaguley familiar with chemtrail conspiracies) would come across this and be appalled, and how conservative influencers pounce on it cause they can't help themselves.

Thanks to people like MTG, geoengineering efforts will never even be considered. :(

TL;DR Scientists really are proposing truly horrific geoengineering schemes "injecting chemicals into the atmosphere" out of airplanes. But it's because of how desperate they are to head off something apocalyptic, and it's not even close to being implemented. They're just theories and plans.

And thus more time and money is wasted...

Wasn't there some doge tip site where Americans could post this?

Can you guys please try to elect some people that will actually do the job they are voted on to do instead of waste everyone's time and accomplish nothing. Tearing shit down is incredibly easy, building shit up takes decades. You ha e severely fucked yourselves over and destroyed all the work of the past 50-75 years of being a country in the modern world. Y'all are fucked and still talking about the next vote like it even fucking matters anymore. America is fucking gone man, you just don't realize it yet.

Next up is a bill to shoot every remaining unicorn

They are coming after your 'chemtrails'. What a whacky weirdo bunch. Nothing better to do than chase imaginary windmills. MTG really needs counseling, perhaps meds, as she appears to be living in a made up world with little to no relationship to the actual world we all live in.

this is stupid, but it's it a wolf in sheep's clothing to ban any policy against climate change?

Could MTG accidentally tackle climate change ? that would be amazing

But humans can't be a cause of climate changes.

This reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillotine.

Here's a head full of sailboat fuel. It’s amazing she can even remember to how to breathe.

God I hope she goes out riding a MAGA weather balloon into the sunset, never to be seen again

Oh goodie, more we get to suffer more of Marjorie Karen Green's delusional stupidity. I love living in the Fascist States of America.

I goes the water misters to lower temperature at the likes of Disneyland would be illegal under that wording. They’re emitting a chemical (water) to explicitly lower the temperature via evaporative cooling.

Jewish space lasers right?

Cool

Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won't fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

It's amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

Is this the work of a syphilitic brain?

Qult

Depending on how climate change turns out for some regions, they will definitely come back to the topic of weather engineering. No rain for a year or two will do this for you.

It's like utterly humorless Art Bell fans took over the government.

starting with CO2, right Marje??

So weather manipulation as a byproduct is okay?

So MTG acknowledges there's a difference between weather and climate?

Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

Would this... proposed legislation... mean that SpaceX will now be prohibited from flooding LEO with Starlink comsats?

Loading the upper atmosphere with ozone-destroying aluminum and other heavy metals as those things fall out of orbit, not to mention rapidly increasing light and RF pollution, definitely qualify as an uncontrolled geoengineering experiment, albeit one whose effects were known before launch. I could go on about the deleterious effects of these orbiting swarms, but - the ball's in your court, Congresswoman Greene.

Go get 'em, Marge. Champion of the dummies.

So like climate change, right?... Right?

So if I pray to God, and ask him to send a hurricane to Mar-a-Lago, and he actually does, that's allowed?

Oh, the blonde clown again!

But she has better looks than Deputy Doofy...

Holy shit, the broken clock and I agree on something for once! Contrails are water vapor and CO2, both of which alter temperature. If she wants to ban them, then by all means.

I am curious how she expects to control for lake and sea evaporation, but I’m interested in hearing her ideas.
