Planes issue horrible chemicals that cause all kinds of issues. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.

My understanding is that these bills would make that illegal. That's good.

Pretty sure that the actual components of airline exhaust would be considered legal. They wouldn't just ban all fossil fuel powered flight, they just want to ban the non-existant mind-control/climate manipulation they think the airplanes are doing.

That's not how the legislation read in Florida. It banned all planes that emit chemicals.

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, weather, climate, or intensity of sunlight is prohibited.

Key phrase being "for the express purpose..."

These people think that jet contrails are like, mind control chemicals being sprayed by airplanes flying over. That's what they're trying to ban, something that isn't even happening.

I understand. But I'll take any climate improving legislation I can get.

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This legislation doesn't even do that.

How so? The one in Florida banned all planes.

Banning planes has a huge benefit for the climate. And encourages train travel.
