Marjorie Taylor Greene Wants To Make 'Weather Manipulation' A Felony

I looks like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has her head in the clouds.

In a Saturday morning post on X, the far-right Republican announced that she was 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,” she said.

“I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill,” the legislator continued, adding that the legislation will be similar to Florida’s Senate Bill 56.

“We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering,” she concluded.

Though she didn’t mention the tragedy directly, the post seemed to be a response to the horrific flash floods which killed at least 66 people after sweeping through central Texas on Friday.

Conspiracy theorists have long claimed that government or other shadowy organizations have been manipulating the weather by releasing chemicals in the air, leaving white streaks in the sky which they call chemtrails.

The Environmental Protection Agency has explained that the cloud-like lines are condensation trails left behind after hot exhaust from aircrafts collide with cold air at high altitudes.

More weather manipulation conspiracies have been fueled by the practice of cloud seeding, a way of triggering rain or snow by adding tiny particles into the air.

Meteorologist and journalist Matthew Cappucci tried to debunk misinformation online around cloud seeding before calling out Greene for her lack of knowledge.

“It’s not a political statement for me as a Harvard-degreed atmospheric scientist to say that elected representative Marjorie Taylor Green doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about,” he wrote on X. “She’d be equally qualified to fly a Boeing-737, practice nuclear medicine or train zebras.”
