After playing a key role in helping President Donald Trump pass the “Big Beautiful Bill,” Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has set her sights on a new issue—what she calls “climate modification.”
Greene Plans Legislation Against Geoengineering
On Saturday, July 5, Greene announced on social media platform X that she plans to introduce a bill to stop climate modification and geoengineering. She called these practices “dangerous” and “deadly.” According to her, if the bill passes, it would make such weather-altering efforts a felony crime.
She explained that the goal of her bill is to ban “the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.”
Inspired by Florida’s Senate Bill 56
Greene mentioned that her proposed bill would be modeled after a law in Florida, known as Senate Bill 56. She wrote on X, “We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”
Although she didn’t say why this issue is important for her state of Georgia or its residents, Greene has often made headlines for similar views.
Greene's History with Weather Control Claims
In the past, Greene has pushed conspiracy theories about weather manipulation. In 2018, several news reports highlighted a now-deleted Facebook post where she suggested that “lasers or blue beams of light” from “space solar generators,” possibly controlled by Jewish groups, could have started wildfires in California. One of those fires, the Camp Fire, killed 85 people and burned 150,000 acres. Greene later denied making those claims during an interview.
Reaction to Hurricane Helene in 2024
After Hurricane Helene caused major destruction in 2024, Greene hinted again that powerful groups were tampering with weather. Her post on X sparked controversy and led to a community fact-check. The fact-check clearly stated: “Hurricanes and other large storms cannot be created artificially with modern technology.”
Greene Doubles Down
Despite backlash, Greene continued to make vague accusations. She kept referring to mysterious people who, according to her, “can control the weather.” Her statements reignited debates about conspiracy theories and raised questions about her credibility.
