Rep. Greene Plans Bill to Criminalize Weather Modification Nationwide

News summary

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced plans to introduce a federal bill that would criminalize the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals into the atmosphere for the purpose of weather modification, making it a felony offense. Greene described weather modification and geoengineering as "dangerous and deadly," and said her proposal is modeled after Florida's Senate Bill 56, which imposes penalties of up to five years in prison and fines up to $100,000 for unauthorized weather modification activities such as cloud seeding. The bill has drawn criticism for promoting conspiracy theories, as experts and federal agencies like the EPA and NOAA state that phenomena such as contrails are natural and deny any government weather modification programs. Critics have also highlighted Greene's contradictory positions, noting her support for oil and gas industries while calling for clean air and skies. Greene previously suggested that Democrats could control the weather, a claim condemned by President Biden as disinformation. Several states, including Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee, have enacted or are considering legislation targeting weather modification practices.
