MODERATORS
Does the proposed law or the legislators supporting it use the word 'chemtrails'?
Because
is a real thing. The conspiracy theory that it's a widespread program that commercial airlines are involved in is, however, not true.
From the article:
While the word "chemtrail" isn't there, the idea that the federal government is doing "geoengineering experiments" is basically the core belief of the conspiracy theory.
'may' is carrying a lot of weight there, and frankly if the government isn't testing geoengineering technologies, they should probably fucking start, they're going to need to.
Most chemtrail conspiracies I hear are more in the mind control and/or turning people gay vein of crazy
Yikes. Injecting sulfur dioxide into the air is actually a proposed way to temporarily reduce climate change by increasing Earth's albedo. I guess Tennessee wants to stay hot.
They mostly don't believe in global warming.
This law is stupid, but when Republicans pass stupid laws against real things, pretending that they're passing laws against false conspiracies doesn't help.
Felt like a knee jerk response to climate change research to me.
That's clearly what it is
The problem is that once we start, we are in that forever. It's best not to have to do this.
I concur, this should have been reported for what it is. It is essentially a local ordinance against geoengineering.
