Let them pass it, take it to the state courts and then claim (correctly with mountains of scientific evidence) that any combustion of fossil fuels counts as "weather modification"
It sounds like they've thought of that:
So it allows releasing pollution that causes climate change since it is a side effect of other things (transport, power generation, etc.), but forbids intentionally trying to mitigate climate change by releasing anything into the air. Sounds about right for Florida politics.
That said, there is a real uncertainty about the side effects of may experimental geoengineering techniques, so some regulation is probably in order. Preferable not from Republicans for ignorant or bad faith reasons though.
They ripped off Tennessee's bill.

That's kind of dumb, no? Because what if we need weather control to reduce the fucking temperature?!
We won't, we have AC /s
If they voted to be cook, cook em.
We cook too!
Does this make outdoor misters illegal? Not sure how Disney World lines would be bearable in the summer without those misters cooling things down. But maybe they don't consider water a chemical?
Nah, cause the intent is to make more money. Just happens to be by making customers more comfortable, which also just happens to be by adding moisture to the air. See, it's a law designed to do nothing. Florida tax dollars hard at work.
Well, there's relative certainty that the absence of major geoengineering will result in climate destabilization not compatible with human life, so, we're like half a century overdue for worrying about how to tackle this in a controlled fashion.
We're in the press-buttons-in-a-pure-state-of-panic-and-fucking-hope-one-of-them-fixes-something phase of climate science.
Worse case scenario, we majorly fuck up and our corpses crisp up slightly faster than the track we're on now. Fuck it. Might as well try.
They're going after people who plant trees...
Water trees, but basically yes.
Let them keep the ban.
