These people have law degrees, and some of them are partially educated. It's amazing to me someone could type this up and send it to other people without the embarrassment of looking like a fucking moron stopping them.
My sister is highly educated, and started her career doing medical research and got in to crime scene investigation. She ultimately left when she discovered the job she wanted working for the FBI was not nearly scientifically rigorous enough and didn't really hold water scientifically.
She now sees a psychic, is entirely convinced it's real, and eats up and parrots every single Republican talking point. Biden too old and dimented, Trump is literally the greatest man alive with decades to live. She even accused our mother of cognitive decline when she didn't buy the bullshit my sister was spewing. My mother is sharp as a tack and there's no family history of dementia.
On top of this, my sister's idiot husband ~~is~~ was an executive in charge of international sales and literally lost his job because of the orange man. Still, God's gift to the US in their eyes.
We don't talk anymore but I'm curious how they feel now, they also suckled on Musk's taint.
Their ideology started with money. They only cared about taxes. Now they agree with anything anyone says as long as they start with lowering their, already generously low, tax rate.
I followed the #2 link he linked about cloud seeding. From the article:
Veteran Houston meteorologist Travis Herzog weighed in this week, calling the theory scientifically unfounded.
“Cloud seeding cannot create a storm of this magnitude or size. In fact, cloud seeding cannot even create a single cloud,” Herzog said. “All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20% — and even that is on the high end.”
He compared the theory to blowing out a candle and assuming one could extinguish a wildfire. “It is a matter of scale,” he said.
It's pretty ballsy to provide a link with someone calling out your bullshit while acting as if that link proves your point.
The people who check sources are not the same people who believe this crap
They know what they're doing. Their constituents may be stupid enough to believe it, but all those people at the top are completely aware of the grift they're running.
A lot of them aren't aware. They belong to a certain peer group that believes different things and any fact that contradict this is an attack on their identity.
There by is a simple experiment about this. Ask a very simple math problem about shampoo and everybody gets the answer right. Ask the same math problem but say it's about gun control and see basic logic twisted into pretzels.
Unaddressed man-made climate change leading to unprecedented volatility and extremes in weather as predicted since the 70s? "Bullshit."
A secret cabal of leftists attacking red states (and blue states for... reasons) through advanced undetectable technology (or magic?) that alters the weather creating these extreme events? "Seems reasonable to me."
Did this guy seriously just reference a Yahoo news article?
Seems letting large amounts of greenhouse gases into the air is geoengineering, so maybe we could form an Environmental Protection Agency to crack down on places doing this large scale.
Oh, we're back on the "free market" bandwagon now?
Ah, yes, the super well funded climate researchers are murdering people with climate controlling Doppler radars in order to make the poor innocent petroleum industry look bad. All so they can make $120k, if they are extremely lucky. It is definitely not petroleum industry executives making millions spreading disinformation so that they can continue to loot the rest of us.
Congratulations Florida, you've just made every owner of a beach umbrella a felon.
Also, every commercial passenger flight is a felon. They are an apparatus released into the atmosphere, and affect weather/climate/intensity of sunlight by causing global dimming. Furthermore, they take the atmosphere in through their engines, and run it through a bunch of air conditioners to cool and filter the air for the cabin, expressly for the purpose of affecting the temperature and climate inside the aircraft, and then exhaust it out of the aircraft back into the atmosphere. Checkmate.
I am all for classifying pollution this way the law, as written, excludes it with this part:
"...for the express purpose of affecting..."
The express purpose of releasing pollution from jets is to provide thrust for transportation. The pollution is a byproduct and not part of the express purpose. An umbrella's function of blocking the sun is an express purpose of the device.
Wait... are they making pollution illegal? That seems awfully woke, Florida.
Na, "for the express purpose," meaning if you have another purpose you can prove is the primary, say transportation, it's fine.
The spectacular level of cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously not believe in man-made climate change but also believe in evil scientists changing the weather.
This is the horseshit you get when you insist on voting Republican.
Article referenced in the letter WRT possible cloud seeding
The law is real and stupid and not based on science. The letter is even dumber. And no, cloud seeding did not cause the floods.
Woah woah woah, this about chemtrails? I can't believe I'm even surprised, really, but how can these idiots be focused on this rather then literally any of the actual issues that people are facing right now?
That's a rhetorical question, I already known the answer is they want to handwave away real issues and only focus on the theater issues they themselves create to generate outrage.
But I mean, they want to outlaw the imaginary chemtrails? Didn't have that on my apocalyptic bingo card.
Geoengineering definitely did play a role in any flooding of urban areas in Florida. It's why there's urban areas in what's supposed to be a swamp.
Geoengineering
I'd point out we've been geoengineering the atmosphere relentlessly for over 200 years, first with coal and then oil combustion. We're living in an age of deliberate geoengineering, our children will have worse quality of life than any of us because of our short sighted and selfish ways.
It's not the weather control bullshit these MORONS suspect, they're literally leading the charge to do it to themselves and can't be convinced that less pollution would be preferable.
Dangerous angle. That'd mean giving back Tampa and Miami to the swamps, two leftist strongholds.
Oh I'm not saying to give it up, just that Florida really shouldn't hate on geoengineering
As someone with deep attachment to the state, I welcome the reversal of destruction. I just hope people don't catch on to this can of worms before big damage to infrastructure is done. Burn it all down!
Hmmm, no, couldn't be the climate change we've been warned about for decades, it's the chemicals the pilots are spraying secretly! If people are really dumb enough to eat this up, we're fucked.
If people are really dumb enough to eat this up, we're fucked.
I've got some really bad news for you.
Sounds like every Floridian should report all the dirty power plants until they are no longer polluting... https://www.wusf.org/environment/2023-10-18/list-highlights-top-greenhouse-gas-suppliers-florida-u-s
No, that’s God‘s healing petrol. Can’t possibly be correct.
The level of stupidity in Jewish Space Lasers being to blame for every US catastrophe is Zionists control the US already, as always. Even Soros loves Israel and Ukraine, and would attack their enemies instead. The only other alterative is Trump/Hegseth killing Texans now for unknown reasons.
Global warming is settled physics. While it makes more frequent intense storms, storms happened prior to global warming too. There is zero need to politicize physics. Only hair brained conspiracy theories needed to politicize attacks on physics.
