Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make "the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity" a felony.

"I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity," she wrote. "It will be a felony offense."

She added: "We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering."

Go get 'em, Marge. Champion of the dummies.

Would this... proposed legislation... mean that SpaceX will now be prohibited from flooding LEO with Starlink comsats?

Loading the upper atmosphere with ozone-destroying aluminum and other heavy metals as those things fall out of orbit, not to mention rapidly increasing light and RF pollution, definitely qualify as an uncontrolled geoengineering experiment, albeit one whose effects were known before launch. I could go on about the deleterious effects of these orbiting swarms, but - the ball's in your court, Congresswoman Greene.

It's like utterly humorless Art Bell fans took over the government.

But humans can't be a cause of climate changes.

Here's a head full of sailboat fuel. It’s amazing she can even remember to how to breathe.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 6 days ago

Perhaps she is powered entirely by her parasympathetic nervous system, brain included

Cool

Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won't fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

It's amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

Tbf, if it comes to that, any nation or cooperative group of nations can do this without US law doing a damn thing.

Is this the work of a syphilitic brain?

Oh goodie, more we get to suffer more of Marjorie Karen Green's delusional stupidity. I love living in the Fascist States of America.

I goes the water misters to lower temperature at the likes of Disneyland would be illegal under that wording. They’re emitting a chemical (water) to explicitly lower the temperature via evaporative cooling.

God I hope she goes out riding a MAGA weather balloon into the sunset, never to be seen again

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Jewish space lasers right?

Depending on how climate change turns out for some regions, they will definitely come back to the topic of weather engineering. No rain for a year or two will do this for you.

Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

[–] griff@lemmings.world 1 points 6 days ago

starting with CO2, right Marje??

[–] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

So if I pray to God, and ask him to send a hurricane to Mar-a-Lago, and he actually does, that's allowed?

[–] recursivepickle@piefed.dk 1 points 6 days ago

So MTG acknowledges there's a difference between weather and climate?

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

So like climate change, right?... Right?

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

So weather manipulation as a byproduct is okay?
