Louisiana Legislature Takes Bold and Historic Step on “Chemtrail” Concerns
Have you heard of "chemtrails" before? What about "cloud seeding"? These are a few of the names for ongoing theories regarding things being put into the atmosphere through aircraft. Theories that are working to move from "conspiracy" to "mainstream".
Are Chemtrails Real? Decoding the Chemtrail Controversy in Louisiana
The theory behind "chemtrails" is described as an action where planes and other aircraft are spraying chemicals into the air as they fly. Usually this is tied to moisture clouds often produced by high flying aircraft. These are called contrails, and they're vapor trails that can be caused by rapid changes in air pressure around aircraft, or the exhaust from their engines. These contrails are often line shaped "clouds" that follow behind high-altitude aircraft, which can look like the crafts are spraying something.
Even though there's no confirmed scientific research that "chemtrails" are something more than contrails, lawmakers in Louisiana are looking to put an end to them.
Louisiana Takes Aim at "Chemtrails" and Weather Modification
The Louisiana legislature have passed a bill, SB46, which is set to outlaw "chemtrails" over Louisiana. The House vote on the bill was 58-32, while the Senate approved it on a 27-12 vote. In both chambers, the votes in favor of the bill were bipartisan.
WVUE-TV reports that one of the biggest proponents of the bill was State Representative Kimberly Landry Coates (District 73). As she was defending the bill on the House floor, she was quoted saying:
“This bill is to prevent any chemicals above us in the air, specifically to modify the weather”
Which suggests that this bill isn't just about cleaning up the potential environmental impact of aircraft exhaust, but actually about "cloud seeding". Oh yes, "cloud seeding", we didn't cover that yet.
What is Cloud Seeding and How Does it Relate to SB46?
The theory of "cloud seeding" has had way more scientific backing than "chemtrails". Governments around the globe have been trying to control weather patterns through "cloud seeding" for decades. The theory is that if you put the right elements into the atmosphere, you can force cloud formation and precipitation. This theory is generally separated from "chemtrails", because "cloud seeding" is exclusive to weather, where "chemtrails" are often believed to try and control public behavior or physical attributes.
It would appear that SB46 in Louisiana is combining both theories into one bill.
According to WVUE-TV's reporting, Representative Coates was asked by fellow lawmakers to explain what chemicals she believes are in the "chemtrails" they're aiming to outlaw. Coates explained she believes that she believes nanoparticles of "long words" that she "can't pronounce" are included in the "chemtrails". Coates also said that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are responsible for these "chemtrails", and are using them for weather manipulation...or "cloud seeding". WVUE-TV reports that Coates additionally suggested that there are "at least nine federal agencies" that are involved in deploying "chemtrails".
The bill has now passed both chambers, and if it is signed by Governor Jeff Landry, it could be law before the end of the year.
