After getting President Donald Trump’s “ Big Beautiful Bill ” to cross the finish line, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a new task at hand: Declaring war on what she termed “climate modification”.
Greene took to X on Saturday (July 5) and declared her intentions to go all-out against “deadly” practice of “climate modification” and “geoengineering” with a bill. If passed, the legislation would make such efforts a felony offence.
According to the congresswoman, the bill aims to stop “the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.”
She claimed in her post that she had been “researching weather modification” and was now all set to act.
“It will be similar to Florida’s Senate Bill 56. We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering,” she wrote.
Greene didn’t explain why a bill targeting weather control is a top concern for Georgia or her constituents, but anyone even loosely following the far-right MAGA congresswoman knows her beef with the skies isn’t new.
Back in 2018, several news outlets reported a now-deleted Facebook post where Greene floated the idea that “lasers or blue beams of light” from “space solar generators,” supposedly controlled by Jewish people, might have sparked wildfires, including California’s deadly Camp Fire which scorched 150,000 acres and claimed 85 lives.
She later denied making such claims in an interview.
After Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc in 2024, Greene seemed to double down. She took to X, stirring controversy with a post hinting at shadowy forces manipulating the weather. Her X post triggered a community fact-check note on X, which bluntly stated that “hurricanes and other large storms cannot be created artificially with modern technology.”
