Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has introduced new legislation aimed at banning weather modification practices, claiming they pose a threat to public health, the environment, and even government “transparency.”

The proposal from Greene and team, titled the Clear Skies Act of 2025 (H.R.4403), aims to outlaw the use of technologies such as geoengineering, cloud seeding, and solar radiation management – different methods that involve the intentional release of substances into the atmosphere to influence weather patterns or sunlight levels.

“We must get this bill passed. Man should not be playing God with our weather!” Greene said in a post announcing the bill.

Under the act, individuals or corporations caught participating in weather modification would face felony charges, with potential penalties including up to five years in prison and fines reaching $100,000 per violation.

The bill also proposes to repeal any federal authority that currently allows weather manipulation. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice would be in charge of enforcing the regulations, if passed, including investigating and prosecuting violations.

In addition, the bill would allegedly set up a public reporting system that would allow American citizens to submit tips about any suspected weather manipulation activity. In response, the EPA would be legally required to investigate such reports.

Greene has compared her federal proposal to Florida’s Senate Bill 56, which was passed earlier this year. Florida’s SB56 cuts off the state’s ability to issue weather modification permits, and also bans the use of “chemical dispersion” to impact the atmosphere or climate conditions.

“I also reiterated in Miami that Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this activity, and I will be signing SB 56 to prohibit the practice in our skies. The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis in a press release published on May 6.

As of Thursday, the new Clear Skies Act had been referred to committee and was awaiting further legislative action.

Whether the bill will gain traction in a sharply divided Congress remains to be seen. But Greene has made clear her intent to push forward.

“No more spraying chemicals in our skies. It’s time to end this dangerous and unregulated practice,” Greene added in a follow-up post to X.
