How it used to be a fringe thing we can laugh at and dismiss, at a time when scientific documentaries were also entertaining and enlightening.

Ok, what if, and hear me out, they are actually doing this to ban plans and force the reintroduction of, wait for it, trains!?

Nah, didn't think so either.

No fly zones! Gotta take a bus.

Better for the Environment. Now they need to end SpaceX.

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.

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.

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.
