Tennessee Lawmakers Propose Legislation Banning ‘Chemtrails’

Soumis
 
The Tennessee Senate passed a bill prohibiting “the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight …” In other words, the bill would make it against the law to dispense “chemtrails” over Tennessee.

It makes as much sense as the idiocy they came up with. But, if enforced it would certainly have more relevance to the status of the state and the nation.

But, let's change it to congressional term limits in every state and at the federal level. Is that a stupid idea?

I've seen this referred to on many chemtrail threads on social media. These fools think that by banning geoengineering, which isn't happening anyway, they will henceforth have clear blue skies. What are they going to when the contrails are still there every day? I personally hope that they will protest, and that a public inquiry is held. That should result in evidence being presented that finally forces these people to face reality - no one is spraying them with anything!

Mr. Cotnoir, good question - I’m 72 and the first I ever heard of chemtrails was in the 90’s when a group of scientists and engineers were meeting at the San Diego Convention Center - somebody raised the question about a conspiracy to kill-off the masses and “chemtrails” was the term used. Personally it’s difficult for me to wrap my brain around it but …. As for “when”, I don’t know that either but I fully believe as compromised as everything is today - where what was once right and is now considered evil and what was once evil is now considered right, perhaps a YouTube message from John MacArthur is in order - “When God Abandons a Nation”. (BTW, I stand with ISRAEL Genesis 12:3)

On the day that Obama and ByeDon took office, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 7,949.09.1
On Obama's last day of office, the DJIA closed at 19,827.25.11 The DJIA grew 149% during Obama's presidency.
Trump is the only president in the last 80 years to net job losses during his presidency. President George W. Bush is the runner-up with 1 million jobs added during his administration. Bush's successor, Barack Obama, is credited with 12 million jobs and Biden Trumps succesor added 10.7 million jobs

USA Today

DALLAS (AP) — The Texas attorney general has opened an investigation into a key Boeing supplier that is already facing scrutiny from federal regulators over quality of parts that it provides to the aircraft maker.

Paxton asked the Wichita, Kansas-based supplier to turn over documents produced since the start of 2022 about communication with investors and Boeing about flaws in parts and corrective steps the company took.

The request goes into detail in seeking internal discussions around Spirit’s efforts to create a diverse workforce “and whether those commitments are unlawful or are compromising the company’s manufacturing processes.” Paxton asked for a breakdown of Spirit's workforce by race, sexual orientation and other factors, and whether the makeup has changed over time.

Don't confuse chemtrails with contrails, the latter simply being a trail of condensed moisture in the atmosphere.
The red, white and blue emitted by the Thunderbirds at an air show are chemtrails. The visible mist from a crop-duster is a chemtrail.

It's highly doubtful that a chemtrail would have any effect whatsoever on temperature or the intensity of the sunlight. But it is Tennessee, so there you go, Goober.

The chemtrails issue has gained traction on both sides of the fence, yet only liberals here use the complaint to insult the intelligence of conservatives (so far). I find this discouraging, because pilots generally respond in a circumspect and thoughtful manner, even whilst arguing. Yes, it is fair to say there are conservative nutbags out there. It is also fair to say there are liberal hypocrites out there too. Turning off your air conditioner will do more for the environment than buying a Prius. Sure, its fine to make such claims to point out the sins of others, but would you put up with personal discomfort to spare mother earth?

F.Y.I. the whole chemtrail idea has a well defined origin. Look it up? Richard Finke, Colorado Springs. . . William David Thomas author chemtrails confirmed... both men attended decidedly liberal educational institutions and espoused liberal ideology in their writings. Do a little 'leg work' before bandying insults at your peers next time please.

Remember: to the layman on the ground every aircraft is a U F O. They may be ignorant about aircraft, but that doesnt mean they are (all) stupid! Consider the pilots here who posted about conservative conspiracy theories, while ignorant of its origins instructive on this matter.

Sorry... How is running the ac - a closed loop system - harming the environment again?
REDNECKSAVANT
REDNECKSAVANT 3
You have got to be trolling. But in case you are ignorant, and because I have a BS in Physics, I will try to help you think in a bigger box. Your question displays the assumption that all environmental harm is derived from first degree toxic emissions. (*those directly released by the ac unit) Understandable, since the gasses used are generally extremely toxic, but not where the majority of environmental harm derives. You might think that it is the manufacture of said units, or the collection of the toxic refrigerants used that has greater impact, but again, that is wrong.

These units generally last a number of years and the annualized impact of their production is thereby reduced. So, what is left? ENERGY CONSUMPTION. The energy they use must be generated and represents the greatest long term adverse environmental impact for ac units. Get your electricity from coal? Factor in the carbon footprint of those solar and wind farms, how much fuel was expended building that hydroelectric facility?

Space heating and cooling are estimated to account for 44% of energy in U.S. residential buildings in 2023.10

44%
Your 'closed loop' systems harm the environment more than you ever imagined!

Refrigerators are one of the largest users of household appliance energy; in 2021, an average of 718 lbs CO2e per household was due to refrigeration.8,11

Of the roughly 66,000 lbs CO₂e emitted over the lifetime of an internal combustion engine car (assuming 93,000 miles driven), 84% come from the use phase.16

Much like the car, the largest harm caused by ac units is derived from using them.

Thanks for your comment. It was well thought out and informative but more to the point it is saying something I have said for decades. Mankind lived up until very recently without AC yet now it’s treated like a human right. If we reduced the amount of extra energy we use for our own comfort, and I’m not saying turn the heat off in winter just turn it down, then we could reduce our entire environmental footprint. My not having AC in my house and never using it in my vehical may not save the world but I am doing a little less harm. Imagine if everyone just put up with a little discomfort how much effect it would have.
srobak
srobak 1
It's really too bad that we cannot insert inline images on here - because if so you would have earned yourself a Picard Facepalm.

Modern heating and cooling systems are magnitudes more efficient on energy consumption than they wee even just a couple (human) generations ago. Maybe you are too young to remember - but back in the day we would not run AC in the car because it would cause a major impact to fuel efficiency - sometimes even double-digits in MPG. Household energy efficiencies are at an all time high with cleaner burning furnaces, amazingly insulated fridges and freezers, only a handful of households still have a significant amount of incandescent bulbs, flatscreen tv's draw a fraction of the power an old tube set did... and the list goes on.

You DO realize you are in an aeronautical group here, right? While aircraft efficiencies are also at an all time high - even a 3 hour flight in a 172 is going to generate far more CO2 than any single household for an entire year - nevermind a multi-engine jet of any size. If there is ever the wrong hill to stand on for announcing a position such as yours - it would be on top of this group.

Moving on...

With regard to situational awareness, with 3 BS, 1 Masters, 1 PhD, and having served in 3 wars...Yes I am aware that many here lack the breadth of knowledge I have garnered over time. Some, however are peers, and some are more apt than I. Which category do you think you are in, and why.

I once encountered a lifelong aviator who disabled her ADS-B to barnstorm a bridge. Being an aviator is not an indicator of current knowledge or wisdom...Although she is no longer an aviator now.

Your assumption that most here are aviators is flawed. Pi-Aware lets anyone with a smidge of programming join this group. It also permits autoreport violations of FAA guidelines.

The folks at AirMethods (*Philly 01/2022) used to be a problem locally, flying NOE over densely populated areas. Thanks to all the folks in this forum who are not aviators, the frequency of such infractions has declined. You tend to keep the ADS-B system on when you know it will be autoreported every time it is turned on at a different location than its last destination, right?

To be clear, i admire the pilots who steadfastly adhere to safety protocols. Those who cut corners and place others at risk to conserve fuel, or for a quick thrill (* or who simply fail to stay up to date) should consider a new line of work.

“the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight …”
At first glance of the headline I thought this was about Chemtrails but it appears to be more about weather modification. I know there are some people advocating using particle dispersion to reduce the effects of global warming and I think that should never tried as it could lead to some very nasty unintended consequences. So maybe these politicians are just being overly cautious to prevent some of the more radical anti global warming crowd from experimenting with that idea. Or maybe they just got into a bit to much wacky tabacky.

I actually took time to read the bill and the commentary by the sponsor. No one is claiming chemtrails are being used today. Their point is that they don't trust the federal government to not start doing something nefarious and they wanted to put a stop to it. I would scoff at these conspiracy theorists, but 10 years ago, we would have thought it preposterous that the federal government would require use of a basically untested vaccine to work for a federal contractor, but here we are (I'm not anti-vaccine, or even anti-COVID vaccine, just opposed to the mandate; I actually got the Pfizer vaccine to keep my job). There is no mention of the word "chemtrail" in the legislation or any of the official commentary; the terms used are aerial dispersal of chemicals for certain specific purposes. I can't blame them for not trusting what will happen in the future. From what I could tell, not one of the legislators who voted for this bill expect the contrails to disappear. However, since the media cannot even report on a simple aviation incident correctly, I can't image trying to trust them on something as complicated as a law, especially since they have a vested interest in making these TN politicians look dumb - it sells more content that way.

I see this action as a means to prevent experimentation with geoengineering, especially before some limited, careful tests are conducted. (We don't need another episode of "new science" such as what we saw with mRNA shots that caused so much damage.)

What we DO know is that aerosols in the air change the weather, such as what we've seen from many volcano eruptions. The weather is often changed for two to three years after a big eruption (see 1916, the year without summer). I understand aerosols have a much greater effect on our atmosphere than some trace gases.

Harvard University only a few weeks ago was planning to put aerosols into the atmosphere as a test. We should go slowly with such experiments until we have considered all the downsides.

Thanks for the link. I should have read it before I posted a comment on this, there is some very good info in there.

For those who obviously didn't bother to read the article, the bill is "sponsored by Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston, and Sen. Steve Southerland, R-Morristown". Y'all know what the "R" means, right? The justification for it (which you could read if you wanted to do so) is standard right wing conspiracy boilerplate.

Face it, MAGAs, you own this.

That said, it's just more performative posturing that will be allowed to quietly die after it has served its purpose by generating attention in forums like this one.

You must be under the impression that "Republican" is synonymous with "conservative". It is NOT.

So, stop being an idiot and assuming so. The GOP is no longer conservative and hasn't been for a couple decades or more.

So all Republicans are whackadoos because 2 of them are? I can't wait to see your take on crime and race.

For those who didn’t read the article the bill is about weather modification using partial dispersal into the atmosphere. But hey if posting misinformation scores you some kind of credit keep doing it. May I suggest Facebook or that X thing where you can gain a huge following simply by twisting words and attacking politicians.

“the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight …”
At first glance of the headline I thought this was about Chemtrails but it appears to be more about weather medication. I know there are some people advocating using particle dispersion to reduce the effects of global warming and I think that should never tried as it could lead to some very nasty unintended consequences. So maybe these politicians are just being overly cautious to prevent some of the more radical anti global warming crowd from experimenting with that idea.

For what it's worth, I would have voted no.
Here is an article from MIT that speaks about this very subject.

Apparently, aircraft needing to dump fuel in an emergency isn't allowed?

no as it says "intentional dispersal of chemicals to alter weather ETC so dumping of fuel for the purpose of safety would be allowed

Under normal circumstances, I'd never advocate anyone doing this, but in your case, I'd recommend locating your 3rd grade teacher and slap her, she'll know why you did and appreciate it. She failed you!

Chemtrails are a mostly right-wing crackpot idea. Hope that helps.

There are conspiracy nuts from all political ideologies. Maybe don’t condemn whole groups of people over the words or actions of a few, that is the definition of bigotry.
BTW also try to read the articles befor commenting on them. It would help to know the context of what you’re criticizing before posting a comment that leads to people questioning your intellectual capacity.
