Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make “the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity” a felony.
…
“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,” she wrote. “It will be a felony offense.”
She added: “We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”
Does this make “Rollin’ coal” illegal?
It’s because MAGA is spreading conspiracies that geoengineering is to blame for the Texas flood.
This is sadly the correct answer. Performative legislation for Alex Jones droolers.
The real thing it actually does ‘ban’ in practice, is where after having done absolutely nothing about CO2 emissions, we would turn the sky white forever to keep the temperature from going to +3.5°C to +10°C so that it’s still possible to grow some crops outdoors somewhere and everybody doesn’t die. That’s still a couple of decades in the future; China and Australia will probably agree to do it and whatever’s left of the US by then will have no say in the matter.
It doesn’t make sense, they should just say those people angered some God and leave it at that, they’re followers are fucking morons.
Geoengineering = science = left wing.
Jewish space lasers right?
Could MTG accidentally tackle climate change ? that would be amazing
Unfortunately, this bill would actually do the opposite. While expert opinion seems to vary on the subject of geoengineering and its attendant risks, it might become a necessary tool for tackling climate change. The standard theory is that we could disperse aresolized materials at high altitudes that would increase atmospheric albedo (reflectivity) to reduce the amount of sunlight absorbed by the atmosphere. This wouldn’t be permanent, but it could buy us time as we work on decarbonizing.
But humans can’t be a cause of climate changes.
Why the fuck did we thaw her?
Nobody wanted that. She thawed naturally with global temperatures rise.
God I hope she goes out riding a MAGA weather balloon into the sunset, never to be seen again
She’s attempting to ban Geoengineering. From Wikipedia:
Geoengineering (also known as climate engineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system intended to counteract human-caused climate change.[1] The term commonly encompasses two broad categories: large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM). CDR involves techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is generally considered a form of climate change mitigation. SRM aims to reduce global warming by reflecting a small portion of sunlight (solar radiation) away from Earth and back into space. Although historically grouped together, these approaches differ substantially in mechanisms, timelines, and risk profiles, and are now typically discussed separately.[2]: 168 [3] Some other large-scale engineering proposals—such as interventions to slow the melting of polar and alpine ice—are also sometimes classified as forms of geoengineering.
Some types of geoengineering present political, social and ethical issues. One common objection is that focusing on these technologies could undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Effective governance and international oversight are widely regarded as essential.
Major scientific organizations have examined the potential, risks, and governance needs of geoengineering, including the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,[4][5][6] the Royal Society,[7] the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),[8] and the World Climate Research Programme.[1]
These people are dumb as rocks. There are also similar elements in GA like Kandiss Taylor(stupid name) beginning their political careers also proclaiming that Climate Change is fake but also suggesting that unprecedented weather conditions must be the work of external forces presumably also blaming the jews.
Marjorie Taylor Green is such a waste of resources.
Ugly, dumb and vile.
And I bet she stinks.
She’s so fucking ugly. Inside and out.
All the fucking stupidest people. Every goddamn idiotic conspiracy theory is getting a pipeline straight to mainstream news outlets and a rep in government now. Instead of some stupid Bircher literature or having to stand out on the street and screech nonsense at passerby who could just ignore the crazy people…
I am seriously wondering when the moon landing denialists and the flat earth morons and the HIV-denialists will get their day of representation, too.
We already have the anti-vaxxer dumbfucks, the Qanon loons, the evolution-denying dipshits, what else is missing…? How about David Icke level bullshit about lizard people?
JFC.

What is it about this current admin, and the secretary of HHS that makes you think that today isn’t already that day?
anything but the real issue
Why is mtg still able to talk?
Stop paying attention to her. Make sure the next thing you click on related to her, is footage of her murder.
If this unintentionally regulates greenhouse gas emissions I’m going to laugh so hard.
Express purpose probably saves them. The express purpose is to vent externalities
It would be beautiful if this dimwit bumbled her way into making the world a better place…but we’re probably in the wrong timeline for that
