Marjorie Taylor Greene Proposes Federal Felony Ban on Weather Modification
UNITED STATES, JUL 09 – Marjorie Taylor Greene aims to classify weather modification as a felony, citing dangers and modeling her bill after Florida's law that fines up to $100,000 and includes prison terms.
- On July 5, 2025, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced a bill aimed at banning the injection, release, or spreading of chemicals or materials into the air when done with the intent to modify weather conditions.
- Her bill follows Florida's Senate Bill 56, signed in June 2025 by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which prohibits cloud seeding and similar geoengineering practices.
- The announcement came days after deadly floods in central Texas killed at least 82 people, but experts and officials debunked claims linking the disaster to weather modification.
- Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci said, "Cloud seeding is for a tiny cloud—not a 4-trillion-gallon flood," and called Greene's claims scientifically inaccurate.
- Greene's legislation revives widely debunked conspiracy theories about engineered weather and seeks to criminalize such practices as felony offenses.

A flash flood devastated Texas. Conspiracy theories quickly followed
No evidence shows that human manipulation caused the deadly flash floods that engulfed the Texas Hill Country. Meteorologists say cloud seeding, a practice that stimulates rainfall over small areas, could not possibly create a deluge so severe that it can be expected only once every five centuries.
