Known for her outspoken stances on controversial issues, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has now set her sights on “weather modification,” as she plans to introduce a bill that would make the release of chemicals into the atmosphere a felony.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced via X that she is introducing legislation aimed at criminalizing “weather modification.”
The bill would prohibit injecting, releasing, or dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere for altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.
Using Florida’s existing law on cloud seeding as a model, this bill aims to impose felony charges on offenders.
Greene claims thorough research on weather modification, working with legislative counsel for months to draft the bill.
“We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering,” Greene stated.
Critics, however, argue that Greene’s understanding of the topic may be flawed.
Atmospheric scientist Matthew Cappucci has criticized Greene’s grasp of the issue, suggesting she lacks expertise.
“It’s not a political statement for me as a Harvard-degreed atmospheric scientist to say that elected representative Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about,” declared Cappucci.
Meanwhile, some conspiracy theories have long suggested government involvement in weather modification via aircraft.
However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) clarifies these are just aviation contrails, with no harmful intent behind them.
“I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill,” Marjorie Taylor Greene stated.
Similar state-level measures have been attempted, with at least eight states introducing legislation regarding “chemtrails.”
Florida’s law penalizes unauthorized cloud seeding with third-degree felony charges, something Greene sees as an avenue for federal policy.
Despite the criticisms and controversies surrounding her proposal, Greene stands firm on the potential dangers of weather modification.
The bill is cosponsored by Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, although it remains uncertain whether it will garner enough support in the House of Representatives.
As flash floods recently devastated parts of Texas, Greene’s bill could be seen as a timely response to growing concerns over weather control.
As debates rage on, Americans now wait to see if Greene’s bill will advance and address their concerns or if it will falter under the weight of scientific critique and political divisions.
I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.
I have been researching weather…
