    Planes issue horrible chemicals that cause all kinds of issues. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.

    My understanding is that these bills would make that illegal. That’s good.

      Pretty sure that the actual components of airline exhaust would be considered legal. They wouldn’t just ban all fossil fuel powered flight, they just want to ban the non-existant mind-control/climate manipulation they think the airplanes are doing.

          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, weather, climate, or intensity of sunlight is prohibited.

          Key phrase being “for the express purpose…”

              There’s not an express purpose of the emissions, the emissions are a side effect of combusting to propel the aircraft.

      These people think that jet contrails are like, mind control chemicals being sprayed by airplanes flying over. That’s what they’re trying to ban, something that isn’t even happening.
