The battle over America’s atmosphere intensifies on Capitol Hill
09/01/2025 / By Willow Tohi
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced the “Clear Skies Act” to criminalize atmospheric geoengineering.
The bill proposes felony charges and significant fines for unauthorized weather modification activities.
The legislation follows public statements from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has also condemned the practice.
The debate intersects with conspiracy theories linking weather manipulation to recent natural disasters.
The bill establishes a public reporting system for suspected violations to be investigated by the EPA.
In a move that has ignited a fierce political and scientific debate, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has launched a vehement campaign against what she describes as covert government geoengineering programs. On August 29, 2025, the Georgia congresswoman took to social media to promote her “Clear Skies Act,” legislation she introduced in July that seeks to impose felony penalties for weather modification efforts. Her declaration, “We NEVER voted to have chemicals sprayed into our skies,” encapsulates a growing concern among some conservatives and naturalists over the alleged manipulation of the atmosphere and its potential effects on public health and environmental sovereignty.
