Yes, they’re definitely playing on those conspiracies to drum up support for this. But regardless of what fears they’re playing in to for pushing the bill through, it doesn’t change the fact that the language in the bill is specific to geoengineering, which is absolutely a real thing and something already being done by companies with little to no oversight.

You and the author are not in a position to criticize the republicans grasping onto conspiracy theories to get public opposition to geoengineering, as you’re playing on the same conspiracy from the opposition angle to dismiss the legislation as not affecting a real thing, which is also a lie.

They are being dishonest to push the bill. You are being dishonest in your opposition of it. You both suck.
