    Thing that doesn’t happen is now illegal, got it. Glad to see Florida tackling the big problems facing its citizens.

      Wait till you see what Florida has banned for gay folks on the basis of “things that dont happen”

      I think Canada issued a travel advisory telling their queer citizens not to travel to Florida, due to the high risks

      I want them to pass this.

      It would be interesting how they would enforce it.

      Would they ban all planes? Or maybe just ignore the law? Or maybe start saying “these are not chemtrails, these are contrails, those are ok”.

        If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

        Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

          Contrails are generated by condensation of water vapor in engine exhaust. They’re not caused by wingtip vortices. All powered aircraft (besides electric ones) will generate contrails under the appropriate conditions. Contrail is in fact a contraction of “condensation trail”.

            That’s why I specified or wingtip vortex.

            In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn’t leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of people conspiracy nuts refer to them as “Chem trails” right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

      I would normally agree with you but… this is legitimately something the constituents want. They are scared of the chem trails. Regardless that they aren’t real. To the voters it looks like the politicians are stepping up and doing what needs to be done.

      It’s kinda terrifying.
