Overview

• The Clear Skies Act (H.R. 4403) was formally introduced on July 29 by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tim Burchett to ban geoengineering, cloud seeding and solar radiation management nationwide.
• The bill would repeal existing federal weather-modification authorities and impose felony penalties of up to $100,000 in fines and five years in prison per violation, directing the EPA and DOJ to enforce the ban.
• It would establish a national reporting system allowing citizens to flag suspected weather-modification activities for EPA investigation.
• Similar legislation has been filed in nearly 20 states, with bans already signed into law in Louisiana and Florida as part of a broader Republican push.
• The EPA and NOAA have launched a public information hub and stepped up efforts to debunk chemtrail theories and explain that cloud seeding cannot control major weather systems.
