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.”
It’s in her phrasing of it.
“for the express purpose”. In other words… we can turn the world into a hellscape to power cars, data centers",
you can build a machine that causes a category 5 hurricain in the middle of the desert for the purpose of producing 1 ice cream cone, so long as you describe the “express purpose” to make the ice cream cone. But if you make a machine that’s primary purpose is to stop a hurricane, that’s where it becomes “geoengineering”, so yeah in short this is basically to prevent all the hypothetical solutions to climate change.
Hell it wouldn’t shock me if they were then to argue say carbon filters in coal plants, or things to mitigate polution, could be “geoengineering” because the whole point of the filters is to prevent climate change, while the actual polution is to make products or power to sell.
