The injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, weather, climate, or intensity of sunlight is prohibited.

Red meat for the specific kind of idiots who tell anyone who they can trap in a corner for 5 minutes about how aliens built the pyramids.
