MTG Wants to Make 'Deadly' Weather Manipulation a Felony

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a new top priority after doing her part to shuffle President Donald Trump’s “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, she’s 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 Florida’s Senate Bill 56. We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”

Meanwhile climate scientists and researchers have spent decades; (entire careers) collecting data and research; and she’s the leading expert on climate manipulation after ‘months’

“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. )

Since those are the ones who can demonstrably be shown to altering the climate in a way that is causing deaths. MASSIVELY if you look at the whole world, but there are whole bunch of missing young girls thanks to their climate manipulation in the news right now.

OH, Marg?

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

They’ve been sprinkling silver iodide or dry ice on clouds since 25 years before she was born to make it rain or snow.

A Bill Gates Venture Aims To Spray Dust Into The Atmosphere To Block The Sun. What Could Go Wrong?

Microsoft’sMSFT +1.6% billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s 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.

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.

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.

You know what gets injected into the atmosphere that alters weather?
- Fossil Fuels
- Smokestack emissions (particulates and sulfur dioxide)

So, we gonna ban fossil fuels now? Al Gore would like a word.
