Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a new top priority after doing her part to shuffle President Donald Trumps Big Beautiful Bill across the finish line.
Greene announced in a Saturday tweet that she intends to wage war on the deadly practice of climate modification and geoengineering with a bill that would make any such efforts a felony offense.
Greene said the bill will prohibit the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.
According to Greene, shes been researching weather modification and now she is ready to take action after spending months writing this bill with her legislative counsel.
She added, It will be similar to Floridas Senate Bill 56. We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.

And with all the antisemite shit if we speak bad of Natty Yahoo, whats with Jewish lasers and weather control that kill his Christian babies.
She get a pass in Jewish hate???

Cloud seeding in the USA is a weather modification technique used primarily in the western states to increase precipitation, especially snow, by dispersing substances like silver iodide into clouds. While it has been practiced since the 1940s, its effectiveness remains debated, with studies suggesting it can enhance precipitation by 5% to 15% under suitable conditions. Wikipedia CNBC
(Some people are concerned about silver iodide in soil & waterways- a debated subject. Also, some conspiracy nuts blame floods on cloud seeding but that has never been proven to be true. )

OH, Marg?
Can we also also have felonies for President's who defund NOAA and/or FEMA if that causes any deadly weather disasters?

(7,315 posts)A Bill Gates Venture Aims To Spray Dust Into The Atmosphere To Block The Sun. What Could Go Wrong?
MicrosoftsMSFT +1.6% billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earths atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming.
Widespread research into the efficacy of solar geoengineering has been stalled for years due to controversy. Opponents believe such science comes with unpredictable risks, including extreme shifts in weather patterns not dissimilar to warming trends we are already witnessing. Environmentalists similarly fear that a dramatic shift in mitigation strategy will be treated as a green light to continue emitting greenhouse gases with little to no changes in current consumption and production patterns.
SCoPEx will take a small step in its early research this June near the town of Kiruna, Sweden, where the Swedish Space Corporation has agreed to help launch a balloon carrying scientific equipment 12 miles (20 km) high. The launch will not release any stratospheric aerosols. Rather, it will serve as a test to maneuver the balloon and examine communications and operational systems. If successful, this could be a step towards a second experimental stage that would release a small amount of CaCO3 dust into the atmosphere.
....more in link....
In 2014, an attempt to stop climate change via stratospheric aerosol injection catastrophically backfires, creating a new ice age that destroys much of life on Earth. For 17 years, the remnants of humanity shelter in a state-of-the-art self-sustaining circumnavigational train, the Snowpiercer, run by reclusive transportation magnate Wilford. The passengers on the train are segregated, with the elite in the extravagant front cars and the poor crammed into squalid tail compartments overseen by armed guards.

(35,007 posts)That woman is an idiot. No doubt her "researching" is just, like that of every other RWNJ, a merely Google search using her own Google account, its algorithm undoubtedly skewed by her fixation on conspiracy theories and other stupid bullshit. No actual research going on here.

- Fossil Fuels
- Smokestack emissions (particulates and sulfur dioxide)
So, we gonna ban fossil fuels now? Al Gore would like a word.
