What the heck is this? Have the conspiracy theorists gotten in charge of the FAA?

"Closed TO AIRCRAFT EQUIPPED WITH WEATHER MODIFICATION OR GEOENGINEERING EQUIPMENT "

Florida is officially run by conspiracy-theory idiots.

So.. cloud seeding IS a thing. You can dump certain things like dry ice and silver iodide into moister laden air, but it doesn't do anything unless the moisture is aleady there. You're just making it rain NOW and HERE instaed of LATER and whereever the moisture will be later.

You can't just whip up a hurricane out of nowhwere by throwing some potassium iodide into the air.

Like these morons apparently think is possible.

@ai6yr No more petroleum-fuelled aircraft permitted then. 👍
@fgbjr @ai6yr it's the law. I wish every nation would enact this law but here in backwards Sweden we unfortunately still allow fossil fuel powered aircraft. I can only hope we some day become as progressive as Florida.

@ai6yr lmaaaaaaaoooo yeah my decision to no longer fly was a solid one. Made that decision a long time ago, based on observations I was already making about all this 20ish years ago, Bush 1.

Then again I was also agitating for general action and permanent strike condition, etc, because I saw the fascist writing on the wall, through the predictive lens of the late 90s/early 2000s internet. Nope. Ill walk or drive a bike out of this country, I wont be flying. ; )

@ai6yr sometime the stupid is just stupid and it’s funny to laugh at stupid people. But sometimes the stupid is so stupid it hurts. This is one of those times.
@ai6yr I knew they were well on their way when in 2015 then governor Rick Scott forbid the use of the term "climate change" in official documents.
Will the deniers still reject facts and reason as the state inevitably drowns?
@Barbramon1 @ai6yr they’ll be underwater and still deny there is a problem
@ai6yr This coming from the same group of people who insist that climate change isn't real. The doublethink here is absolutely bonkers.

@ai6yr Four interesting words in the text: "for the express purpose". It's almost like they know, but don't want to admit that airplanes do affect the climate. A part of me wonders if they want to use this down the line to have something to point at and say "see, it's been reported that air travel doesn't affect the climate."

Manipulation or idocy: it's hard to be sure which it is.

@ai6yr no making it rain on Mar-A-Lago allowed! LOL
Not an FAA thing; at first I was thinking the DAB airport manager was a conspiracy crank, but now that PBI is in it too, it might be an emerging state government policy.
@ai6yr Like silver nitrate dusters maybe?
@ai6yr what about Terraforming? Planetary scale manipulation still ok? Asking for some friends …
@teledyn @ai6yr someone should explain to them that some rich people have taken over their state and are intentionally exposing them to a deadly pandemic to cull their numbers and make them easier to 5150 later on down the road. See if their conspiracy thinking is worried about real, tangible human rights conspiracies.
@ai6yr haven't some states recently passed silly laws banning weather modification aircraft?
@MLE_online LOL I bet you are correct....In fact, a cursory search says, yes.

@ai6yr @MLE_online I believe Georgia did, at the behest of MTG. Which makes one wonder what they'll think when they look up and still see 'chemtrails' in the sky.

The smart play would be to seed* the idea Greene's obviously in on it as her legislation did nothing.😆

*Pun intended

@MLE_online @ai6yr dont those fascists just "pray" for things they want? Cant they just pray for good or bad weather and shut the fuck up about weather modification? Isnt their god in charge of all of that anyway? lmao
@jbrownesq @MLE_online The thing is, the same people spouting out about how "human's can't change the weather or affect the climate" are the same people yelling crazy things about "the government is changing the weather using ch*mtrails". There's absolutely no logic in their little brains.

@ai6yr @MLE_online yupppp which is where I was coming from ultimately.

These people dont look in the mirror, I think, or they dont understand what a mirror is. Zero self analysis, zero testing of their own beliefs. Zero.

Which is of course what structurally ignorant, intentionally mis-educated, religiously extreme populations, living in the modern world in their own little bubbles, will sound like.

@ai6yr the govmt controls the weather with a few jets but burning jet fuel & diesel causing climate change is a hoax. Disregard the prevalence of asthma & heart disease around airports, thats probably something else, pure coincidence. Its just science.

@ai6yr

Yeah, because we all know how well that worked any of the several times we've tried it, that are documented:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding#Effectiveness

Sarcasm, in case that's not obvious. There's always, theoretically, a non-zero chance that they actually figured it out at some point, and that they've only published the results they want us to see. Sure. I will believe that just as soon as I see a mountain of hard evidence to prove it. From what I can find, though, they've been pretty transparent about their attempts at modifying the weather, and that they still don't know how, and that we probably shouldn't hold our breath waiting for them to figure it out.

@ai6yr
All machines using fossil fuels are weather modification and geoengineering equipment, that's a pretty large category. I guess since this is the FAA, it is limited to those that fly.

@ai6yr

Only a matter of time before they close the air space for flights from Round Earth.
