Overview

• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced legislation on July 5 to make the injection or release of chemicals into the atmosphere for weather modification a federal felony.
• The bill draws on Florida’s Senate Bill 56 and Louisiana’s recent geoengineering ban and names Rep. Tim Burchett as a cosponsor.
• Greene cited a Texas flood that killed an estimated 27 campers to argue for urgent federal action against weather control.
• Prominent MAGA-aligned influencers have celebrated the measure as confirmation of long-running weather-control conspiracies.
• Climate scientists and other critics dismiss clandestine geoengineering claims and characterize the proposal as an evidence-free overreach.
