The weather. Everybody's talking about it, but no one is really doing anything about it. --- common saying often repeated by Mark Twain
James Uthmeier is the attorney general for the state of Florida.The state has recently passed a law prohibiting cloud-seeding, weather modification, and geoengineering. Florida claims that airports are in the best position to recognize weather modification, and are required to report monthly on their observations.
In a letter to the operators of public use airports, Florida Atty General writes he “can’t help but
notice the possibility that weather modification could have played a role” in
the Texas floods.
MY TAKE: I have no idea why airports would be in a better position than anyone else, but the conspiracy theory about "chemtrails" is that water vapor contrails are a sign of an attempt to modify weather, or introduce mind control chemicals, or to fight global warming by reflecting heat back into space.
AA good imagination is a terrific thing, as long as we can tell the difference between what's real and what's not. One of the time-tested ways is to ask, "Do I THINK it? Do I KNOW it? Can I PROVE it?” I'm not sure it serves the public interest for government officials to spend much time on the first two.
I like to pick on Uthmeier because he's a magnet for satire.
NOAA has debunked the claims that clouds were seeded near Kerrville TX two days before the floods. They also are adamant that there is not a way to steer hurricanes.
General Uthmeier proposed and has overseen the development of an immigration detention center in Florida that he named, "Alligator Alcatraz." Early reports are that the place has issues with mosquitos, plumbing, and flooding. There are concerns about the impact it might have on the water supply for 8 million South Florida residents, but that's just like, you know, someone's opinion, man.
