    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.”

    it requires monthly mandatory reports for any airplane that can modify weather.

    perfect for malicious compliance, report every single aircraft that passes through the airport because their exhaust modifies the weather.

    clog those idiots with their own bureaucracy

        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.

            the air conditioners and filters in the cabin have an express purpose of manipulating the temperature and climate, that is their only purpose.

            I think you’ve accidentally uncovered a better example. Regular home A/Cs work by releasing hot air into the atmosphere:

            To make the inside cool, they have to disperse hot air (which is definitely a chemical or substance) into the atmosphere. That is their express purpose.

            So by this law, A/C in Florida is banned.

                  … (inside a building, which is still in the borders).

                  …but may be hard to argue it meets the other clause of “in the atmosphere”. Yes, there is air in the building, but unless the building isn’t well sealed (which it would be generally well sealed to keep the cold in) then the cold isn’t expressly being released into the atmosphere.

                That’s like saying the express purpose of hunting isn’t to kill something, it’s to acquire meat. The express purpose is to move heat from inside to outside. You can’t “produce” cool air, you can only move heat.

                  That’s like saying the express purpose of hunting isn’t to kill something, it’s to acquire meat.

                  If you’re hunting to eat, the express purpose of hunting is to acquire meat. If you’re hunting for sport, then you may not care about the meat the express purpose would be the desire to the kill or the resulting trophy.

                  You can’t “produce” cool air, you can only move heat.

                  You’re focusing on the mechanism. The definition of “express purpose” is focusing on the result.

    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.

        The first time I heard about the “democratic weather machine” conspiracy I thought it funny. But looking at it again as it spreads I do believe it is a tactic to keep voters while climate change escalates.

        If we get new candidates that run on climate promises we now got a seed set to diffame and more importantly mock them. They can play the victim and point fingers. A long standing and well proven tactic.

      Dangerous angle. That’d mean giving back Tampa and Miami to the swamps, two leftist strongholds.

          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!
