Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Going After 'Chemtrails' With New Bill to Ban Weather Modification
The one-time QAnon supporter and House representative is now targeting the legitimate practice of geoengineering, a common bogeyman of chemtrail true believers.
The legislation would reportedly bar chemicals from being released into the air for the “express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.” Though the bill is apparently a response to the completely not real dangers of chemtrails, it would target actual, potentially important technologies like cloud seeding and other forms of geoengineering. In reality, what’s referred to as chemtrails are actually contrails: the product of condensation that happens when jet fuel exhaust (mostly water vapor and small amounts of soot) mixes with cold, humid air. Chemtrails aren’t real, but these sorts of laws advanced by the conspiracy wing of the GOP could certainly cause plenty of actual damage to the development of research and innovations that could help us manage climate change—or even to simply add some snow to ski hills.
