Would this ban airplanes flying in the state?

Bender 1y ago
No, it would ban people intentionally spraying chemicals or metals to induce rain by cloud-seeding for example. There are real chemtrails and then there are just water vapor trails created by jets. The corporate media have conflated the two and been intentionally deceptive on this topic to stir controversy where there is none and to make people look like ignorant hillbillies.

  Based on the article, it doesn’t appear the lawmakers are making the distinction you are.

    >> The corporate media have conflated [cloud seeding and chemtrails] to make people look like ignorant hillbillies. > Based on the article, it doesn’t appear the lawmakers are making the distinction you are. You are correct. State Rep. Kimberly Landry Coates (R-Ponchatoula) ... and several other lawmakers refer to the lines as “chemtrails,” which she claims are made of nanochemicals that alter weather patterns. During questioning on the House floor, State Rep. Candace Newell (D-New Orleans) asked about the chemicals Coates believes are involved. “Other than the nanoparticles of aluminum, what else have you found?” Newell said. “Barium. There is a few, some with long words that I can’t pronounce,” Coates said. Coates also claimed [that NOAA] sends chemicals into clouds to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth’s surface. However, NOAA says it does not conduct weather modification experiments and has no plans to do so. Coates further suggested that multiple agencies are involved in what she believes is a chemtrail conspiracy in Louisiana. “Who is doing this?” asked State Rep. Matthew Willard (D-New Orleans). “There are multiple people. Multiple groups, contractors,” Coates said. “Who are the contracts with?” Willard asked. “I’ve seen the documents with at least nine federal agencies,” Coates said. I take issue with the gransparent's comment, where they infer these comments create an appearance of "ignorant hillbillies". Having grown up with hill people, I assert they are, on balance, more rational than the southern state legislators who are represented by these remarks.

      The problem is they vote for the worst type of legislators

        Sure. Now consider trading law/power for campaign dollars which is what federally elected officials do ~every day. Why do ethical voters (most voters) respond to and vote for politicians who fund their elections thru bribery? I don't know but it's the same reason the Louisiana voters voted like they did.

    I was not referring to the article, rather the hundreds of articles that have been posted here about this issue in multiple states. HN is not immune to the conditioning that paid corporate media have been using to influence peddle.

  I disagree. It’s the quotes in the article making those people sound like ignorant hillbillies.

  The ban as you described it is pretty specific. Would it be ok for someone to spray chemicals and metals for other reasons and not to induce rain by cloud-seeding? Crop-dusting might fall under this category. And what exactly are "nanochemicals"?

  This is not what either the article says or what the definition of "chemtrails" is. This is about a made up conspiracy theory pushed by crackpots, scammers, and in some cases personal acquaintances. We are most certainly talking about people who are along the spectrum from very ignorant to delusional, and the alarming development that state governments are starting to waste taxpayer dollars in treating this subject as something real.
