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.

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.

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.

I understand. But I'll take any climate improving legislation I can get.
