Should be easy for the airlines to comply with, since they don't leave chemtrails, they leave contrails.

That sounds like something someone with a degree in ozone would say!
I don't believe you. Begin firing on my signal.
Why ban them? What's in them?
cHeMiCaLss5ss!
Alabama State House. Not the U.S. House.
We live in the stupidest timeline.
Hell yeah, brother. People have elevated the presumed sanctity of their beliefs, no matter how stupid, to be the most sacred of liberties. Even over life and health.
Red State voters living in abject poverty: "Republicans is gittin important stuff done!"
10 Years After SCOTUS Gutted Voting Rights Act, Alabama Turnout Gap Is Worse
Apart from 2018, the white-Black turnout gap increased each year from 2012 through 2022. During last year’s election, the white-Black gap was 9 points — triple the size of the gap only a decade ago. Put differently, some 90,000 more Black voters would have participated in Alabama last year if Black turnout had reached parity with white turnout. The white-nonwhite turnout gap remained at 13 percentage points, the same as in 2020 — translating to roughly 150,000 ballots uncast by people of color.
How are we this stupid?
3-4 decades of purposefully undermining public education
More like 5-7 decades.. "anti-nerd" culture has been popular since about the 50's
Republicans are in control
Why do you say “we?” I had no part in this bill, and you probably didn’t either.
It's Alabama, so inbreeding.

So clouds are illegal?
Well, it's impossible to ban natural clouds but planes could avoid making contrails by just not flying in the zone where their exhaust would cause them. Source: I was a weatherman in the Air Force and would tell military pilots where to fly to not have a shiny line pointing to their exact location if such information could be a concern.
Well that could be problematic.
So I’m curious now… what conditions cause the contrails? Certain temps, humidity, wind speed? I would think very humid cold air but that’s just a guess.
In answer to your question: yes. Humid cold pure air. By pure, I mean no contaminates until the hyrdrocarbons from the jet fuel are emitted into that pure, moist air. To form a droplet, a nucleus is needed. The hydrocarbons of the jet engine exhaust provide that nuclueus.
No more air travel, I guess?
Hot air baloons are still allowed. Perfectly good option if you do not care too much where you end up or how far you will go.
Dirigibles should be okay too.
At this point, yeah ... fuck it, I'm in.
I'll bring snacks.
How do you think the conspiracy nuts will react if this bill becomes law and then there are just as many contrails in the sky as before?
Considering how stupid those who want this are, they'll just go oh see, they stopped doing chemicals in the trails now!. Or 50/50 chance want all jet planes banned 🤷
Sadly they'll just think it's the federal govt doing the spraying that's why they ignore state laws.
