In this episode of The Modern Tapes, the students investigate Florida’s new law banning “weather modification” — a policy born from conspiracy more than science. From the history of chemtrail paranoia to the real physics of contrails, the episode unpacks how misinformation, political theater, and fear of geoengineering converged into actual legislation. Featuring Bill Nye’s scientific perspective and commentary on the intersection of fact, politics, and paranoia, this is a story about how myths can shape policy and how the sky itself became political.
