Tennessee proposes bill forbidding the release of particles/chemicals in the atmosphere, like cloud seeding. BBC publishes attack article denying cloud seeding exists, portraying it as 'chem-trail' bill, while repeating insults about Bigfoot/conspiracies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding

As of 2022, seven agencies in California are conducting cloud seeding operations using silver iodide, including the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which began employing the technique in 1969 to increase the water supply to its hydroelectric power plants, and reported that it results in "an average of 3 to 10% increase in [Sierra Nevada] snowpack".[79]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_iodide

The crystalline structure of β-AgI is similar to that of ice, allowing it to induce freezing by the process known as heterogeneous nucleation. Approximately 50,000 kg (110,000 lbs) are used for cloud seeding annually, each seeding experiment consuming 10–50 grams.[11] (see also Project Stormfury, Operation Popeye)

Your opinions are not facts.

Note that this has happened in the WEST. TN has not been suffering from drought; hence there's been no need for - or interest in - cloud seeding or other forms of geoengineering. Anyone with a brain knows EXACTLY why this bill was submitted by Republicans (to get votes from idiots who don't understand geoengineering or contrails, but want to believe that they are somehow smarter and more knowledgeable than educated people). These Republicans aren't fooling anyone with an IQ above 10.

Well then, if it's not a problem, there shouldn't be an issue outlawing it.

Your super high I.Q shouldn't have trouble understanding this really basic and mundane concept.

I would draw you a picture to help for you to better understand this. But I am uncertain how this could be expressed in pictographs.

My brain being so small and stupid and all.

Excellent - we agree that it's not a problem; hence there's no reason for a geoengineering bill in TN, UNLESS one were playing politics with the chemtrail idiots in order to get votes.

Really, this is not lost on anyone who has a basic understanding of Republican clown show politics. Now TN is an international laughing stock: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=tennessee+bill+geoengineering&iar=news&ia=news

Right right. So why are they writing articles drawing peoples attention to it and trying to stop it? If it's a clown show they shouldn't be doing that. They shouldn't have a problem with this law.

Planet-wide climate engineering is distinct from more routine weather modification, such as cloud seeding, which increases rainfall over specific areas and is used in several US states.

Odd thing to say in that article. What exactly do you think they are trying to prevent? What exactly do you think the chem trails argument is?

Reminder: I am really stupid, use small words please!

What exactly do you think they are trying to prevent?

Nothing much, because the bill does not include specific statistics on current geoengineering problems in TN (because they don't really exist. The bill is political theatre dressed up as a law. The need for that law is not addressed with specific scientific studies about problems in TN. Perhaps you could answer your question.

What exactly do you think the chem trails argument is?

Idiots who think contrails are chem trails. This is specifically what international news media are laughing about. Indeed, there was a proposed amendment to that bill to ban Bigfoot-type creatures (proposed as a joke by a Democrat).

Reminder: I am really stupid, use small words please!

I never judged your intelligence, not directly.

Perfect! Then passing this law should be a non issue, that nobody needs to bring attention to.

Big word hurt brain! Unga! Bunga!

So we agree! There was no reason for this bill, other than political theatre for moronic Republicans.

UNREAL: They just REVEALED a SECRET geo-engineering project.

They are now shooting aerosol into the atmosphere to BLOCK sunlight from the earth to "stop" climate change.

Guess who was involved with funding parts of the project?

Bill Gates.

What if I told you that there was an actual CONSPIRACY going on?

A research experiment that they kept hidden from the public because they were afraid of a backlash.

Because that is exactly what has been going on.

From the deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the San Francisco Bay, researchers from the University of Washington LAUNCHED trillions of salt particles into the atmosphere with the intent of blocking out the sunlight from earth.

This is all being done in the name of stopping global warming of course!

They say that the organizers didn't widely announce this experiment to "avoid public backlash".

In other words, this isn't a conspiracy theory. It is by the very definition a conspiracy. They conspired to keep this experiment secret.

No wonder they tried to keep it secret, because I think most people wouldn't be happy to know that people are trying to modify the weather and block the sunlight.

They are using specially built sprayers to shoot trillions of salt crystals into the sky, trying to increase the density and reflective capacity of clouds.

And this isn't anything new. A company called Make Sunsets launched a weather balloon to release TOXIC sulfur dioxide into the air to block the sun.

The idea is that they will block the sun and thus decrease the temperature on earth. This is a terrible idea.

In Sweden we had the COLDEST January night of the century. It was -48,8C in Arjeplog. I do not really want it to get any colder - Thank you!

The state of Tennessee recently voted to BAN geo-engineering in the state. They were ridiculed by the mainstream media for it, because that was more or less just a “conspiracy theory”.

What kind of unintended consequences could it have if we sprayed chemicals into the air to block the sun? What if it caused a global cooling episode where we got an ice age? This is dangerous.

Even Greenpeace is skeptical of the idea of solar geo-engineering, saying that the consequences of this would be hard to predict.

AND GUESS WHO IS INVOLVED?

None other than Bill Gates of course.

A silicon valley engineer who had previously worked at Xerox and developed a nozzle to spray ink particles for printers, was now asked to develop a nozzle to spray sea salt aerosols.

All the way back in 2009, this engineer received a $300,000 investment from Bill gates to work on developing this. A team worked on this sprayer and it was ready last year.

So there we have it.

A project that began with investment from Bill Gates were now out spraying particles into the atmosphere with the goal of blocking sunlight to stop climate change.

And they did it in secret to avoid public backlash.

The opinions of idiots on Twitter aren't worth discussing. It's a waste of time.

1) Here's one reason: there is NOTHING SECRET about geoengineering or especially cloud seeding, which has been attempted for decades and is very well known, and there are regulations on how it's done.

2) Reason #2 - Bill Gates isn't an evil Marvel Comic mastermind of any of this. Perhaps his foundation invested in part of it and MILLIONS of other projects. He's not a fucking supervillain. Enough with the dumbass conspiracy nonsense.

3) As I've discussed in the thread, cloud seeding has has happened in the WEST, because of drought. Perhaps they should regulate it. TN has NOT been suffering from drought; hence there's been no need for - or interest in - cloud seeding or other forms of geoengineering in TN. The bill was obviously submitted by Republicans to get votes from idiots who don't understand geoengineering or contrails.
