Florida Republican introduces bill to ban ‘weather modification activities’

A Republican in the Florida Senate introduced a bill to ban activities that would change weather patterns.

Although no such activities exist that have the ability to change the weather, state Sen. Ileana Garcia introduced the “Weather Modification Activities” bill to prohibit any actions that would affect the weather. The legislation would ban “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight.”
