DeSantis spoke about Senate Bill 56 on Tuesday prior to signing the measure, introduced by Republican State Sen. Ileana Garcia.
“It protects Floridians from geoengineering and weather modification activities,” DeSantis said during the press conference, recognizing that this has been a concern for people across his state.
“Now people have been coming up to me. We don’t do that in any of our state agencies. There’s never been any permit issued in the entire modern history of Florida. We’re not engaged in any of that, but people have concerns about it, because you have all these people that are saying, well, the way to fight climate change is to inject this stuff and block the sun and do all that,” DeSantis said.
