There has been a wealth of bills flying around to ban experiments in controlling the weather…..there is no experiments to control the weather…..but that does not stop the GOP from using it as a tool for crowd control.
Republicans across the country are working hard to pass bills banning something that the fringe corners of the internet told them to be afraid of: weather modification.
Weather modification refers to geoengineering processes such as solar radiation modification and cloud-seeding that are used to counter the effects of global warming and drought, respectively. These processes have been woven into right-wing conspiracy theories that the government is able to control the weather, and MAGA lawmakers—fearful that the Democrats could rule the heavens and summon a deluge to wipe them out—have started to take action.
Republican lawmakers in nearly 20 states have introduced legislation to prevent weather modification. Some of the laws allude to “chemtrails,” a conspiracy theory that planes aren’t leaving “contrails” of condensation in the atmosphere but are spreading chemicals on an unsuspecting public. In two states, Florida and Tennessee, those bills have passed and been signed into law.
In July, right-wing concerns about weather modification reached a new fever pitch.
Earlier this month, Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin announced an effort to “compile everything we know about contrails and geoengineering” and release it to the public.
Days later, Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tim Burchett introduced the Clear Skies Act, a bill that would levy steep penalties for anyone who “knowingly conducts weather modification,” including geoengineering, cloud seeding, solar radiation modification, and the release of aerosol to “influence temperature, precipitation, or the intensity of sunlight.”
After Hurricane Helene struck the southeast United States in October, Greene boosted the right-wing conspiracy theory that the Biden administration had used weather manipulation to target Republican areas ahead of the U.S. general election. “Yes they can control the weather,” Greene wrote in a post on X at the time. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
Another waste of time and resources…..but then that is what the GOP does best.
I Read, I Write, You KNow
“lego ergo scribo”
First of all. all these delusional conspiracy theories about some vast government conspiracy? One thing these dingbats keep forgetting is that THEY ARE THE GOVERNMENT for crying out loud. They ARE the “deep state” now. They control the entire government: the white house, the congress. the department of justice, darpa. EPA and all of the other alphabet agencies. even the SCOTUS. So if this bizarre conspiracy notion that the government somehow controls the weather were true,, they would know about it and be the ones doing it.. How can they keep claiming there is some sort of government conspiracy acting against them when they *are* the government?
Second… Oh, hell, why even bother? Those of you reading this already know all of this.
It amazes me just how gullible the voter is these days….people with half a brain know this is all BS and yet…..chuq
Speaking of just this subject… chuq… did you know any of this was going on?

I just learned of this today. I mean.. with all the nuclear crap and sabre rattling… and all this is going on?? Seems to me this alone changes the entire political dynamic over there.
I read about the shortage a couple of days ago…..water will be a deciding factor….if not soon then the near future. chuq
well at least it gives them something stupid to do, so they can feel useful, powerful and possibly intelligent.
They really do not need anything to highlight their stupidity…..they prove it almost daily. chuq
The ‘Chemtrails’ conspiracy is getting a lot of traction over here. Stupid people just discovering the vapour contrails from airliners and believing they are deliberate, causing everything from Covid to Asthma.
Best wishes, Pete.
Misinformation works and works well chuq
