Florida State Senator Ileana Garcia has introduced legislation to prohibit weather modification activities in the Sunshine State. The bill was filed on November 20 by Garcia, a Republican who has served in the Florida State Senate since 2020.

The "Weather Modification Activities" bill sets out that "the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight is prohibited."

As per the bill, any individual or corporation that commits a weather modification in violation of the bill will be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor and charged up to $10,000. Each individual violation will count as a separate offense. In addition to preventative measures, the bill also states that the governor of Florida should on a continuing basis "consider steps that could be taken to mitigate the harmful consequences of emergencies." The bill also repeals aspects of existing weather modification laws, including definitions and licenses.

Explaining the bill in a statement to Newsweek, Senator Garcia said: "The bill essentially repeals outdated provisions related to various aspects of the weather modification law, including definitions, licensing requirements, and the processes surrounding the application and issuance of licenses. More specifically, it prohibits certain acts intended to influence temperature, weather patterns, or sunlight intensity within our state's atmosphere. In summary, this legislation will enhance our regulatory framework to safeguard against improper use while promoting responsible practices in weather modification.

2. Stupid Republican bills will continue.

Finding solutions to problems that don't exist.

3. Orange man banned from nukin' 'canes. . . . nt

18. Crap! What are we going to do with all those nukes we've got stockpiled?

Maybe we can use a half dozen of them to build a harbor on the Alaskan coast. No, that proposal has already been made and shot down by the Inupiat locals.

[Deuxcents]

4. We've become so embarrassing 🙈

[bronxiteforever]

5. Pretty soon there will be bill

Outlawing alien cattle mutilations and crop circles.
Dumbed down Florida.

[WestMichRad]

7. Are they banning Native American rain dances, too?

What idiocy!

[Beartracks]

16. Rain dances aren't released into the atmosphere, so I guess they'd be exempt.

=============

8. Another "chemtrail" MORON?

[Sin]

9. Did they just accidently make an anti pollution law.

You could argue that CO2 is altering the weather and releasing it large quantities without safeguards is expressly altering the weather?

[groundloop]

10. But this bill would exempt that because it's not released for the express purpose of altering weather

[sorcrow]

11. So I guess

So I guess I should sell my stock in Jewish Space Lasers, Ltd.

12. Can you believe so many people are THAT stoopid!

You really have to twist your mind in pretzels
to come up with Maga nonsense.

I think they do it because it's a white thing,
now that people of other identities are the
rational ones, and they just can't fathom
really stupid, crazy white leaders as not
superior to that.

[Ray Bruns]

22. "Can you believe so many people are THAT stoopid!"

Yes.

[SCantiGOP]

13. They should also ban witches putting spells on people

I'm pretty sure that is why I've never won the lottery.

[xocetaceans]

14. With that bill, it seems that they also might have inadvertently just banned beach umbrellas....

"the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight is prohibited."

Admittedly, the umbrella ( "an apparatus" ) would only be "released" or "injected" into the atmosphere six or so feet above the beach sand, but still it should affect the temperature and the intensity of sunlight beneath its canopy....

[LudwigPastorius]

15. Chemtrails?

Hey Ileana, let's outlaw werewolves, goblins, and Cthulu while we're at it.

[Ray Bruns]

23. Cthulhu is offended.

[Karasu]

17. Time to ban Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, then.

24. Agreed. It's time someone went after that fat bastard.

[William Seger]

19. The purpose of conspiracy theories is to make dumb people feel smart

They're so smart, they just "know" things.

[markodochartaigh]

20. Farmers have been spraying crops

with water to prevent freezing for probably a century now. It looks like this might well be banned under this law.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. I think some might still use smudge pots too

when there are frosts/freezes.

[markodochartaigh]

25. I think so, especially

across the South.

[Trueblue Texan]

26. But massive carbon emissions are OK!

Those don't affect the weather at all!

[SpankMe]

27. What's next - a law banning time travel? Fucking Florida! n/t

[Zambero]

28. "Validating" conspiracy theories

If Marge-Q says evil Democrats and their climatologist co-conspirators are tampering with the weather, then it must surely be the Godawful truth. Time to pass some laws enabling the good Lord to keep us "safe"! In the meantime, decree that stuff like climate change and sea level rise are completely fabricated hoaxes (in Florida anyway).

[tornado34jh]

29. Humanity can't directly control weather, they have tried many times.

That being said, however, we are modifying it indirect ways, but it is through what we use for energy. Is this thing they are trying to pass going to do that?

[skypilot]

30. I'm sure this will make a huge difference...

...come next hurricane season.

[rasputin1952]

33. Then comes the demand that the Federal

floodgates of FEMA cash be opened wide.

[sabbat hunter]

31. Fucking Florida

N/T

[rasputin1952]

32. "MAGA Speak"...

Don't give problems attention, they will just "go away".

The only problem with Science vs Stupidity is that they both begin with "S". For quite a few, "Stupidity" is the road most traveled.
