US announces bill to ban chemical discharge to regulate weather

Anh Vũ |

The move to ban the impact of climate change comes after heavy rains and devastating flash floods in Texas in recent days.

US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has just announced a federal bill to ban the act of disseminating chemicals to regulate weather, temperature, climate or the intensity of sunlight. This behavior would be considered a serious crime if the bill was passed, Greene said.

The move comes after heavy rains and devastating flash floods in Texas killed at least 50 people, including 15 children, with dozens still missing as of the evening of July 5.

On the X platform, she wrote: I am introducing a bill prohibiting spraying, disseminating or putting chemicals into the atmosphere for the purpose of changing weather or climate. This will be a serious crime".

She said she worked with a legislative adviser for months to draft the bill, inspired by Florida's Senate Law No. 56 - a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis on June 20.

Florida law prohibits geotectical activities and imposes a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of $100,000. The law also requires allowing people to file complaints through the state portal.

Greene called weather regulation and geotecnical technologies dangerous and deadly practices. She also announced that Congressman Tim Burchett was a co-sponsor of the bill and called for support from both parties.

Greene caused controversy last year when she claimed the Democrats could control the weather after Helene killed more than 227 people and forced more than 5 million to evacuate. At the time, US President Joe Biden criticized the statement as bsurd, irresponsible, and spreading false information.

However, since then, many US states have begun reviewing or passing laws targeting weather regulation. Louisiana was recently the latest state to join the list along with Tennessee and Florida. More than 12 other states, including New York and Arizona, have submitted similar bills.

Proponents of these bills cited limited research on the long-term effects of cloud sowing techniques or solar radiation regulation technologies. Some are also concerned about chemtrails - a plot theory that the plane sprays chemicals to control the weather or serve dark purposes.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has denied the existence of any government-led climate adjustment program, saying that there is currently no technology capable of controlling large-scale climate events.
