Alternatively phrased: Florida proposes ban on planes from flying in or over it.

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

That would be some incredible malicious compliance. “We couldn’t make sure our planes didn’t leave ‘chem trails,’ so we just don’t fly to your state anymore.”

Only prop planes allowed

Or they could ban condensation I suppose

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

It can happen on props as well, just not as likely.

If any state in America needed to be declared a no-fly zone…

Cloud seeding is different than contrails. Think 99% of the people in this thread are confusing the two and making ignorant statements. They're banning the former, not the latter.

Either you're over-estimating the intelligence of the politicians that did this, or underestimating the stupidity of the people who are for the bill. I'm not sure yet which it is.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, read the bill yourself. It's banning cloud seeding. The politicians just lied and made it sound like the bill is going after conspiratorial chemtrails. It's almost as if no one has read the fucking article with how much disagreement I've gotten.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Bro, the article says it's phrased as cloud seeding and that they want to "debunk" chemtrails, but read the rest of the article about how it's being presented by De Santis and others. The bill is also being sold for the electorate that believes this will ban chemtrails.

You're not levitating above the rest of us with your big brain.

You didn't even read my comment, because you're literally repeating what I just said.

Whatever, I'm done responding to this damn thread.

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're banning the former thinking they are banning the latter, THAT is the main issue here.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Right, but read the whole thread and there are tons who think that the people who crafted the bill also think that. Only a couple of the politicians are going down the chemtrail route and marketing it that way, which is why the bill itself is literally written to talk about geoengineering and cloud seeding and not fucking chemtrails.

Excuse me sir we have American educations. It's rich of you to think we know the difference between former and latter.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do states even have "sovereign airspace"?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 22 hours ago

"State" is ambiguous
