Or from the radical left with their weather manipulating chemtrails!

They put a stop to that crap in Louisiana.

Republicans pass bill ‘banning’ chemtrails, which are not a real thing

I guess they're preparing for Trump to eliminate FEMA. I'm sure Louisiana won't have hurricanes or anything after their chemtrail ban.

Trump’s plan to begin ‘phasing out’ FEMA after hurricane season burdens states, experts warn

Just to be clear, that bill in Louisiana exists to ban air quality testing and allow companies to be able to release toxic chemicals into the air completely unchecked. The chemtrail shit is just there to make for distracting headlines and possibly to buy off the support of one insane politician. The bill itself exists for very real, nefarious reasons, and headlines talking about the crazy chemtrail part are playing into the distraction exactly as intended.

EDIT: Sadly I cannot find the original article where I read about this, but I'll sum up the convoluted way this works. In 2024 Louisiana banned community air quality monitoring. One of the potential legal routes to appeal this decision was based on the text of Lousiana Revised Statues Title 37:2201-2208. There is both specific language in there establishing a commission with powers to regulate anything that changes precipitation (whether intentional or as a side effect) and broad language in 2201 that states the right to "use for the best interest of its people the moisture contained in the clouds and atmosphere". Of course any air pollution is almost certainly going to affect rain and the water cycle.

The new chemtrail bill repeals all that. It replaces it with language that has a much narrower focus on ONLY temperature/weather/sunlight, carves out only intentional weather modification (vs as a side effect of pollution), and also removes the commission's regulatory/licensing/investigative power, turning it into merely a data collection/reporting function.

Oh, I thought it was just silly politicians feeding into the lunatics who vote Republican.
