Statewide, Iowa (RI) – Nearly two dozen Republicans in the Iowa House are co-sponsoring a bill that would ban chemical emissions for the purpose of changing the weather.
A subcommittee hearing on the bill was packed with supporters who claimed the government and corporations are changing the weather. Robert Nazario of Hardin County urged lawmakers to take action.
Democratic Representative Ken Croken was the only person in the room to speak against the proposal. Croken says he hasn’t seen evidence these things are happening and he’s not sure how the state would enforce a ban when the source of the alleged emissions isn’t clear.
The two Republicans on the subcommittee agreed to advance the bill to the House Environmental Protection Committee.
