Marjorie Taylor Greene says her bill would make weather-altering chemical releases a felony offense
US House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who once claimed that Democrats could “control the weather,” has announced a federal bill aimed at banning what she called the “deadly practice” of geoengineering.
The move follows devastating rainstorms and flash flooding in Texas that killed at least 50 people, including 15 children, with dozens still missing as of Saturday evening.
“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense,” Greene wrote on X.
“I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months, writing this bill,” she added.
This is not normal.
I want clean air, clean skies, clean rain water, clean ground water, and sun shine just like God created it!!
No person, company, entity, or government should ever be allowed to modify our weather by any means possible!!

Greene said her proposal mirrors Florida’s Senate Bill 56, signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on June 20. The Florida law bans geoengineering activities and carries penalties of up to five years in prison and $100,000 in fines. It also requires reporting from public airports and allows residents to file complaints through a state-run portal.
“We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering,” Greene said. She named Representative Tim Burchett as a co-sponsor and urged support from both parties.
Greene made headlines last year when she claimed that Democrats could “control the weather” following Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm that left at least 227 dead and forced more than 5 million people to evacuate. Then-President Joe Biden condemned the remarks as “beyond ridiculous” and “stupid,” calling them a “reckless, irresponsible, and relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies.”
Since then, multiple US states have advanced legislation targeting weather modification. Louisiana is the latest to pass such a measure, joining Tennessee and Florida, while more than a dozen others – including New York and Arizona – have introduced similar bills.
Lawmakers backing the bans have cited limited research on the long-term impacts of practices like cloud seeding and emerging solar radiation modification techniques. Some critics have even raised concerns about “chemtrails” – a conspiracy theory alleging that aircraft release chemicals for weather control and other nefarious purposes.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has repeatedly dismissed claims of weather control programs, insisting that no current technology can influence large-scale weather events.
