Let's be realistic.
Yeah, let's BE realistic. First, this part is an amendment - some stray politicians wild hare - to a more general bill. And then it's a state legislature. Yiu know, the sort of organization that periodically has to be talked out of rounding off pi to some less difficult to remember value?

I see nowhere in the posting any actual indication of the INTENT of the amendment being about chemtrails per se, but if you have an actual reference to such an intent,or the name of someone advocating it for such use please show me and I'll be glad to admit my error.

If I may, to add to your comment.

From 'The Council for the Human Future' (a group/organization I had never heard of and know nothing about, but the list I am about to reference seemed based on rational thought)

A list of 10 current "Mega Risks" to modern civilization.
Number 10, under sub-section Human Impacts was:
Mass Delusion.

The 9 other "Risks" were pretty much what one would expect. Mass Delusion might not yet be in main stream thought, but I agreed with it making the list.

Your post references this nicely. Mass Delusion indeed.
Peter Pomerantsev has written how Russia has managed to create a society where belief in objective truth and facts has been battered. It is an important part of the puzzle as to why Russia is so unstable.
Dr. Timothy Snyder has written how that the destruction of the very notion of Truth is being deployed by Putin's Russia against all it's enemies. Hoping to undermine and destabilize the enemy societies just as has been acomplished in Russia.

Reminds me, a number of years ago, a California legislator introduced a bill to define pi as 3.00. "It's for the disadvantaged kids. Math is too hard, as it is."

Horse$h!t. Many here don’t hesitate to call out stupidity when it occurs on the left. Sometimes they’re even right. I haven’t seen you rushing to AOC’s defense. Dumbassery occurs on both sides of the aisle. Whether it’s coming from some kid with a Che T-shirt on or some ignorant inbred, it should be called out.

The authors of the bill are notoriously absent from this. By design, I'm sure. I'd love to get them on record stating the intent of this bill. I'm sure that "cloud seeding" is not worth the State Assembly's time. But turning the frogs gay is definitely worth it.

As for insulting deplorables, a friend was getting married in Tennessee, and looking over his marriage license application, what caught my attention was a section asking about the relationship to the fiance. There were three boxes to check. One for second cousin and more distant. One for first cousins, and one for closer than first cousins. That didn't take much imagination.

I can tell you, based on knowledge of former in-laws, that the Foxworthy you-might-be-a-redneck genre isn't fanciful and it isn't fringe or just found on Jerry Springer. There's a very large contingent of rednecks out there who are proud to be. Go figure, and while counting fingers, contemplate your dream-trailer. The one with genuine aluminum skirting.

It has that lived-in look, because I broke it in for you.

Do you have a year, or a name of the legislator?
I googled and couldn't find it.
Had similar story told by a high school physics teacher.
He invoked Iowa.
Whether true or not, it does portray the silliness of thinking political views can define Nature and Her Laws.

Sort of like Knute showing his advisors that even a king has limits.

Just because the king commands the waves and they don't respond, doesn't mean the king is without power. It could just be bad waves.
