Stop spraying these chemicals and allow the weather to happen like it always did when we kids...enough with the fake clouds and climate change BS...if any plane is spraying anything it should be shot down immediately by our military...don't experiment in our sky

Do a composition test with the jet fuel at airport storage tanks and in the wing bladders. Get pilots military and commericial to testify. Every single pilot of a full frame jet turbine powered aircraft knows whats going on.

If this spraying of chemicals in ours sky doesn't stop soon the effects from it will be devastating. This is a crime against humanity.

We don’t want geoengineering, solar radiation management or the use of high frequency towers to manipulate the cloud patterns. This is poisonous to all life forms from humans, wildlife and our entire ecosystem such as food we all eat. This must be stopped!!

I was excided about this but then it was explained to me that the bills do not include the federal government in the wording so it will do nothing. Congress put these programs in place and Title 50 exceptions and the prep act allow them to do anything they want, so unless the state specifically bans the federal government in the wording of the bill, nothing will change. This applies to every state...

Mav_Enzo says it best, and I agree that the language needs to be strong and specific: No permission is given to spray ANY chemicals in the skies! none. zip. zero. Stop ALL spraying, ALL stratospheric aerosol spraying. All solar radiation management. All carbon sequestration. All biomass nonsense…and other names that are drummed up. STOP. SPRAYING. THE. SKIES. STOP!
