Zeldin Cites ‘Legitimate Questions’ About Contrails as EPA Launches Webpage to Combat Conspiracy

UNITED STATES, JUL 09 – EPA releases detailed information to debunk contrail and geoengineering conspiracy theories amid public concerns and highlights a 54% proposed budget cut, agency officials said.

  • EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Thursday new online resources addressing public questions about contrails and geoengineering to increase transparency.
  • This announcement followed growing conspiracy theories falsely linking recent Texas floods that killed over 100 people during the July 4 holiday to weather manipulation.
  • The EPA clarified that contrails are normal aircraft emissions, geoengineering activities are not occurring, and no government weather modification programs are underway.
  • Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law on June 20 banning geoengineering and weather modification in Florida, stating the state will not allow such activities.
  • The EPA's release and Florida's law reflect increased public concern and regulatory responses, while scientific experts continue to reject weather manipulation claims as ungrounded.
