These are good laws if they are written broadly enough to forbid geo engineering. I don't care how the right gets there, it's beyond arrogant and reckless to allow billionaires, to pay them, to spray masses of sulpur dioxide into the upper atmosphere to block out the sun in a mr. burns esque intervention.

They don't have the right to affect everyone's weather, we don't know the consequences of such an action, and the people running these companies are fundamentally dishonest and have been hotboxing with their yes men in enclosed spaces smelling their own farts for so long they don't even know what's true. Looking at you Gates, fuck any children lately?

While some of the weather manipulation theories on the right are a bit out there, not that the government hasn't experimented with weather manipulation, it's usually just too much for them to do as in the case with making hurricanes worse heating up the ocean. Anyway, instead of mocking them, when they are on to a kernal of truth, better to join with them and prevent real harms being perpetrated. Remember, Gates, noted epstein pal and childfucker will use influence agents to associate those opposed to his geo engineering schemes of blotting out the sun from the upper atmosphere, convinced he has foreseen all the consequences from such a thing, with chemtrail cranks and other such conspiracies spread by cynical rw influencers.

But the geo engineering is very real, and they are doing test projects as we speak, and facing worldwide backlash whereever they do.

Bad laws written by corrupt, moronic liars are never a good idea.

I agree that geoengineering is a dangerous con, but this law doesn't address that problem.

And it's also unwise to leap to conclusions about people in the Epstein files besides Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Even shitty people like Gates.

Oh, it's unwise to condemn people in the Epstein files? Isn't that convenient? Let's not jump to conclusions, despite being absolutely certain they are having sex with underage girls, and know about abuses, and being blackmailed with that information to support the worst people in the world.

You expect to have any credibility after that opinion?

And you aren't altogether correct either, Georgia I think it was passed a law that makes weather manipulation illegal, that includes geo engineering even as most of their support was from the chemtrails. As have other laws.

If I didn't know any better, and I don't, I'd suspect your motivations here.
