Banning geoengineering over Florida makes an important political point, but it doesn’t actual protect anyone. The atmosphere is constantly moving, and geoengineering anywhere affects the whole planet.
“Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this type of activity, but we are going the next step to ensure it does not happen in this state.”
The 1600 eruption of Mt. Huaynaputina in Peru caused a famine in Russia which killed one third of the Russian population.
It’s got to start somewhere with someone passing a law against it. Frankly, I would have made it a capital crime and then state that since the atmosphere is common to all of us, anyone doing geo-engineering anywhere on the global is subject to our state law. Maybe put a bounty out for anyone identified as doing it.
It depends on the quantity(and altitude).
One needs an impressive number of flights to match the mass of a top category volcano eruption.
The USA has been massivly spraying highly toxic lead iodid and other stuff for more than 5 years over Laos,Cambodia and Vietnam alongside the bombing(and drug smuggling) to manipulate the weather(CiA ‘s Evergreen International Airlines used to call this service Geomodification on their website)
and even without the knowledge of the secretary of defense.
(Kissinger simply bypassed him,as he was way higher up in the real hierarchy than Laird.)
The effects for the rest of the world were not relevant(but maybe they were ,as the ice age scare started during that timeframe 🙂
But nice to see that De Santis joined us crazy people.
Hopefully, with the quantities of muck concerned, any effects will be localized. It does not inspire confidence if the predicted effects are reliant on current climate models.
Interesting to note that the 1600 eruption coincided with a solar minimum. See Zharkova’s presentation available as a Tom Nelson podcast. We can expect the same in the current grand solar minimum between now and 2053. As Zharkova says, for the next thirty years, global warming will be the last thing on your mind.
No, it doesn’t take away the risk of someone doing it elsewhere (the U.K.?), but it’s a step in the right direction from the best governor in America.
I abhor idiots who subscribe to the “chemtrail” nonsense. However this legislation is severely short sighted and frankly stupid. It has massive unforeseen consequences too.
Under these broad terms, you could be charged criminally for spraying an air freshner, or for a farmer crop dusting with planes or helicopters as two examples.
But the real danger is putting poorly thought out laws on the books like this, means libtards can then use them to shut down anything they want once they get the levers of power in their hands! Example all combustion is imperfect and some particulates are part of the exhaust of any IC engine – so this law can be misused to shut down society faster than the CO2 hoax.
It’s a dumb assed move in my view.
If the wording of the law is accurate and differs precisely between exhaust and additional atmospheric enrichment there should be no backdoors/loopholes to exploit it.
Not that any law will prevent them from doing it or that anyone will be actually held accountable,just as it happened with MK Ultra and the deliberate destruction of 99% of all evidence by the CiA Boss ,
the spraying of San Francisco for a whole week with a bioweapon as happened in the 50ies and later Georgia even in Europe(but not in Georgia).
And if you are worried about that kind of laws you are actually 50 years late.
As they already exist on an international level – ENMOD.
(but I’m pretty sure they did this just for entertainment)
