Greene to introduce 'weather modification' bill

Source: The Hill

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Saturday she plans to introduce a bill aimed at tackling “weather modification.”

“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,” she wrote in a Saturday post on X.

“I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill,” Greene added.

Greene made headlines last year when she suggested Democrats were able to “control the weather” in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, prompting then-President Biden to condemn what he called “irresponsible” and “beyond ridiculous” falsehoods.

So someone who heats or cools their house is releasing CO2 into the atmosphere with the sole purpose of modifying the climate (inside their house)...... We're all going to jail!!!!!!!!

10. She's talking about cloud seeding too

As Cloud seeding was recently banned in Florida and her bill is similar to Florida’s. The states that do the most cloud seeding are Wyoming, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Texas, & NM.

I didn’t realize cloud seeding was being done in my state of NM. I just read many in Northern NM are against it as silver iodide can contaminate soil and aquatic life in rivers.

Something else to think about - I never really thought much about cloud seeding & I read we used it in Vietnam in Operation Popeye to prolong Monsoon season but we used both lead iodide and silver iodide. Lead iodide???

That climate scientists are really Bond villains in disguise. The anti-science folks don’t trust anyone with an education, and so those scientists MUST be EVIL!!!!!!!!

Ya see, they got an education, and collectively decided that in order to maintain their cushy government/university jobs, they need to manufacture a “crisis” and then create a whole new way of creating PROOF that there is a crisis ergo it’s the scientists who are REALLY behind tornados, hurricanes, typhoons etc….

Or some such shit. But that theory does have a similar premise to what this administration is doing….

will have to close down, under that language. Every pig farm, cattle feedlot, meat processing plant, poultry farm, will be shuttered, because they all produce "chemicals" that alter the environment. Who woulda thunk that Li'l Sporkfoot would suddenly become an environmentalist? (although there could be a challenge to the "mental" part of that term in her case......)

Every time she opens her pie-hole, money pours into the GOP coffers. She's not there to legislate. She's there to fundraise.

Perhaps some sort of organization will need to be set up to build a wall to prevent magical weather-controlling sabotage and keep people safe from it. I'm sure we'll make weather great again with Marjorie Taylor Greene on the job.

... release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity (may one day be our only hope to stop global warming). Talking about stratospheric injection schemes.

Yes, this is actually a thing. She may be talking about "chemtrails," but the science that the bill would affect is real.

…or the 21 million who live adjacent to Superfund sites?

Denies the effect of over 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year by human activity.

Denies the conclusions of essentially 100% of climate scientists.

Denies the evidence in front of her.
