There are many, many layers of stupid stacked here, but at the same time, this bill is quite sweeping and potentially dangerous. You might be opposed to the idea of manipulating atmospheric composition to fight climate change and it's certainly not something we might want to just go ahead and do, but it is a possibility that's worth exploring and ultimately might become a necessity. This bill kills any attempt to even experiment with this kind of technology, at least in the affected legislature.
Geo engineering is absolutely not something we want to look into. As if we could forsee the consequences, as if any one country has the right to decide to affect the entire world's weather, and as if we could trust the companies that are doing this.
They have a meeting every year in Switzerland, where they huddle up and go over their plans, coordinate on selling to governments, pr, all that. Epstein pal and childfucker Bill Gates is one of them. He is as convinced in the righteousness of pumping masses of sulphur dioxide in the upper atmosphere as he is of making roundup ready proprietary strains of crops to be able to use higher amounts of herbicides that systematically poison us, and every form of life, in entire watersheds. He invested in Monsanto, with his foundation at that, such a charitable contribution to society!
