Far right-wing Congresswoman and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene raged that an unspecified “they” are controlling the weather on X.
“First, they said we were crazy for saying they are controlling the weather and spraying chemicals in our skies,” the MAGA loyalist wrote. “Now, they are admitting that they are controlling the weather and spraying chemicals in our skies, BUT that it’s not causing any harm.”
Like many conspiracy pushers, Greene, who once claimed space lasers operated by prominent Jewish bankers might be to blame for California wildfires, frequently uses “they” to describe a vaguely defined liberal “deep state” that operates in secrecy.
“Call me crazy, I don’t care. but I’ll go ahead and say it,” Greene continued before declaring “weather modification and geoengineering is deadly and dangerous” and said “they” can’t prove otherwise.
The 51-year-old firebrand said she’s championing a bill that will ban those practices without providing evidence on a meaningful level that either such process exists.
Greene’s rant lambasted “the government and companies” she claims profit from manipulating the weather without further explanation Friday. Her suspicions about government don’t seem to have subsided since her party took control of the White House and both chambers of Congress in January.
“We aren’t lab rats and weather is not a controlled environment,” Greene’s post concluded.
Social media platforms like X frequently hum with unsubstantiated claims of weather manipulation when meteorological disasters occur, like the severe flooding that claimed more than 120 lives in Texas over the past week.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin released a statement Thursday saying his team “shares the significant reservations many Americans have when it comes to geoengineering activities” and would investigate the matter.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in December the United States is “years away from being ready to detect a solar geoengineering effort, but is on the leading edge.”
