    It bans cloud seeding and geoengineering. Passing this off as a ‘ban on chemtrails’ is deliberately dishonest.

    a Class B misdemeanor for the injection, release or dispersal of “a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within or above this state for the purpose of affecting the weather, including temperature, climate, and intensity of sunlight.

        Presumably companies would be able to argue they aren’t pushing out pollutants with the intention to change the climate

          Unfortunately “the purpose of a system is what it does” doesn’t count as a valid argument when the ones in charge of the system have more money than the courts :/

      No it isn’t.

      They claim the recent floods were because of chemtrails from planes seeding in the sky (those trails of water vapour you see behind planes, ), based on aluminium found on the ground (cloud seeding is done with silver iodide btw and is incredibly expensive).

      Stop trying to downplay it.
