FL Governor & Senate Ban "Chemtrails" & Weather Modification

[Randy Zipser]

In the current 2025 session of the Florida Legislature, a bill was introduced to outlaw "chemtrails" over Florida, or to otherwise "tinker with" the atmosphere over the state. I had forgotten to post this earlier, but on April 3, 2025, the state senate passed this bill, which has the full approval of Gov. DeSantis. Florida already has a "cloud-seeding activities" law on the books, but this new legislation would replace that. Here are three links about this legislation:

Florida Senate approves ban on geoengineering and weather modification

Florida moves forward on "weather-control" law

'Chemtrails,' cloud seeding would be banned under bill passed by Florida Senate

So when "chemtrails" still show up due to everyday jet traffic, what will they say then? The entire premise of chemtrails is literally based on the people merely seeing contrails in the sky. Those are not going away.

And as if we can "control" the weather that specifically (a single state), let alone "control" it in the first place.

There really isn't anything in the bill that mentions chemtrails. I suspect the reference to chemtrails amounts to click-baiting in the "news" stories.

The bill eliminates the licensing of weather modification activities. The licensing provision was probably put in there in association with The Weather Modification Reporting Act of 1972, but to be sure you'd have to check out an annotated version of the Florida Statutes, which will have dates of revisions, etc. This I will not do.

As I was reading the supplementary materials, this just looks like they are stripping out the licensing provisions and replacing it with blanket prohibitions against "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...."

FL is VERY thorough, by the way, compared to OK. Check this out. If you saw the "bill analysis" provided for Fettgatter's HB2426 and then saw this...well...shazam! No comparison.

I suppose if you want to get political, which we are not supposed to do here, this could be a response to Bill Gates' plan to spread a plume of calcium carbonate dust into the stratosphere to combat global warming.

(Or we could just wait for the next big volcanic eruption.)

What is absolutely hilarious about this is the prohibit this activity for whatever mis conceived idea they have, but it’s still OK to strip the land and create hundreds of toxic radioactive ponds (open to have tornadoes pick-up and then dump on people and farms). Mosaic just pays off the legislature here soooo much. Sadly, Mosaic has been moving into territories out west. Eastern NM looks to be getting a bit of new strip mining operations.

Thank you, as always, gdlewen, for your thorough insights and comments. I always enjoy reading them. RZ

BTW, with regard to weather modification in Oklahoma, back in the early 1980s, while I was serving as the Oklahoma National Flood Insurance Program Coordinator, I was also involved with crafting Oklahoma's original weather modification rules and regulations, along with my colleague, Mike Mathis, who was the weather-modification project leader, at the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Anyone who is interested in reading more about the early history of weather modification in the state of Oklahoma should read the Final Report for this project, published by the OWRB in February, 1983, titled Oklahoma's Reach To The Clouds. Unless it is out-of-print, a copy may still be available from the OWRB archive or library in OKC.

After years of following the "chemtrail" debate, I agree with your conclusions stated above. About a decade or so ago, I was actively following all the published materials I could find about the "chemtrail" phenomenon. In the end, I have concluded that the term "chemtrail" is more in the realm of myth or conspiracy theory than based upon scientific hypothesis. To this day, I have never seen any peer-reviewed research papers in a vetted professional journal about this subject. As was the case back then, the big unknown today still is: Who is/are manipulating contrails and for what purpose(s)? If the answer(s) to that question still has (have) not been determined after more than a decade, how else could it be concluded reasonably that there is little, if any, scientific basis for the very existence of chemtrails? In case anyone is interested in the "chemtrail" debate, two publications I suggest reading (may be still available on amazon.com) are: Weather Wars & Un-Natural Disasters by Stephen Quayle (2007) and Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth by Elana Freeland (2014). The former is more in the realm of "conspiracy" conjecture and the latter offers more (largely unproven) scientific arguments for the validation of chemtrail existence.
