Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced a new federal law called the \u201cClear Skies Act.\u201d The goal of this law is to make it illegal for anyone to release chemicals into the air to try to change the weather or climate. Greene, who represents Georgia, says this law would ban all types of weather control and geoengineering, like trying to cool down the Earth or change rainfall patterns.<\/p>\n

Her announcement came right after severe flooding hit parts of Texas, which led to a rise in online conspiracy theories claiming that someone is controlling the weather. Greene has repeated some of these claims, even joking about fighting what she called \u201cimaginary weather goblins.\u201d She posted about her new bill while people in Texas were still dealing with the aftermath of the floods.<\/p>\n

Not everyone is taking the bill seriously. Some critics say it\u2019s based on conspiracy theories rather than science. One group called \u201cRepublicans against Trump\u201d mocked Greene\u2019s announcement online, calling it part of a trend of embracing wild ideas rather than facts.<\/p>\n

Still, Greene\u2019s bill isn\u2019t the first of its kind. Florida already passed a similar law earlier this year. In April 2025, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 56, which banned weather-changing methods like cloud seeding and solar radiation management in Florida. That law comes with tough penalties, including a $100,000 fine and up to five years in prison for anyone who breaks it.<\/p>\n

Greene wants to bring that same kind of law to the entire country. Her federal bill would ban releasing any substances into the air if the goal is to change weather, temperature, or sunlight levels. She says this is a way to stop the government, or anyone else, from \u201ccontrolling the sun.\u201d The bill would treat violations as serious crimes, though exact punishments haven\u2019t been shared yet.<\/p>\n

This bill comes at a time when more people are talking about weather control online, especially after major storms or natural disasters. While it\u2019s true that small-scale weather modification, like cloud seeding, does exist, experts say these methods can\u2019t control big weather events like hurricanes or floods. Most scientists say there\u2019s no real proof that the government or any other group is secretly largely changing the weather.<\/p>\n

Still, Greene and others believe it\u2019s important to have laws in place just in case. Supporters say these rules are about keeping people safe. But critics argue that they are based more on fear and misinformation than actual science, and they worry these laws could block real research into climate solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
