Overview

  • Meteorologists say cloud seeding can only boost rainfall by up to 20% and could not have generated storms like the July 4 deluge.
  • The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration verified that Rainmaker Technology filed a required activity report in February before its July 2 operation.
  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and other legislators have introduced bills to make unreported weather modification a felony offense.
  • Rainmaker employees have faced death threats online and the company has increased security at its facilities.
  • Conspiracy narratives circulated widely on social media, fueled by posts from figures like Michael Flynn that drew attention away from climate and terrain factors.
