Marjorie Taylor Greene Targets Weather Modification with New Legislation
Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced plans to introduce a bill criminalizing weather modification efforts, labeling such activities as "deadly" and a threat to public safety. The proposed legislation would classify the act of releasing chemicals or substances into the atmosphere to alter weather patterns, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity as a felony offense.
Bill Inspired by Florida’s Senate Bill 56
Greene described her upcoming bill as closely aligned with Florida’s Senate Bill 56, highlighting her intent to "end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering." Despite the bill’s ambitious goals, Greene has yet to clarify how this issue directly impacts her constituents in Georgia.
History of Weather Control Claims and Controversies
The congresswoman’s opposition to weather manipulation isn’t new. In 2018, she drew considerable attention following reports of a now-deleted Facebook post. Greene had suggested that "lasers or blue beams of light" projected from "space solar generators"—allegedly controlled by Jewish people—were responsible for igniting wildfires, including the catastrophic California Camp Fire that ravaged 150,000 acres and resulted in 85 fatalities.
Although Greene later denied making those specific claims in interviews, her skepticism about weather alteration persisted. Two years later, after Hurricane Helene caused significant damage in 2024, she reignited controversy on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). There, she implied that hidden forces might be manipulating weather events, a statement flagged with a fact-check disclaimer confirming that current technology does not allow for artificial creation of hurricanes or large storms.
Ongoing Conspiratorial Rhetoric
Undeterred by fact-checks and public criticism, Greene continues to assert that "they" possess the capability to control weather patterns. This stance has stirred fresh debate around the congresswoman’s tendency to promote conspiracy theories and has kept the topic sharply in the public eye.
What Lies Ahead?
The introduction of Greene’s bill signals a growing faction within politics that is increasingly skeptical of climate science and geoengineering practices. Whether this legislation gains traction remains to be seen, but it certainly highlights the contentious discussions surrounding weather manipulation and its perceived risks.
Key takeaways:
- Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to criminalize weather modification efforts through new legislation.
- The bill proposes making the dispersal of substances into the atmosphere to change weather patterns a felony.
- Greene’s history includes controversial claims about wildfire causes and skepticism about weather events.
- Her rhetoric has sparked debates over the legitimacy and scientific basis of weather modification theories.
