GET ME REWRITE: When it comes to putting on a political clown show in Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano has no peer

 

Headline:  Pennsylvania Capital Star, 3/22/2024

A state senator who was the 2022 GOP nominee for Pennsylvania governor [who got creamed by nearly 15 percentage points) has proposed legislation to outlaw experimental weather modification techniques falsely associated with the “chemtrail” conspiracy theory. 

The false belief that condensation trails left by high flying aircraft are actually trails of chemicals released by the government for nefarious reasons has become conflated with techniques being explored to reduce the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the atmosphere. 

In a memo seeking support for his bill, Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin) said new technology and a proliferation of weather modification patents “owned by a combination of Federal Government Agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations, and large multinational corporations” have brought forward the need to update Pennsylvania’s law.
