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.
