Marge Greene and her followers think that nefarious people are creating natural disasters in order to — well, I don’t know what. But they’re doing it:
The flash floods that killed over 100 people, including at least 27 campers and counselors at a summer camp for young girls, have become fodder for online conspiracies and harassment that are being fomented by online trolls, right-wing influencers, and even Republican lawmakers.
As she has in the wake of past natural disasters, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Fla.) suggested that the floods were the result of human-engineered weather modification — a baseless conspiracy that claims processes like cloud seeding can produce catastrophic weather events.
Greene wrote on X that she would be introducing legislation “that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.”
“We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering,” she added.
It’s not the first time Greene has claimed that weather modification was the cause of a deadly natural disaster in the United States. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — which carved a path of destruction through Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee and killed over 250 people — the congresswoman claimed that a shadowy entity could “control the weather.” Greene also suggested that the hurricane could have been deployed to affect the outcome of the 2024 election.
She’s a real expert. Don’t forget this one:
There weren’t any clouds to seed, Marge. It was a hurricane of fire — explain how the government engineered that one. Oh right, we didn’t turn on the big valve that would have let allo the water come down from Canada to stop it. I forgot.
She’s not the only one:
Retired Gen. Michael Flynn — Trump’s former national security adviser turned QAnon influencer — also promoted conspiracy theories suggesting that the floods were the result of cloud seeding.
“We have to place a bigger spotlight on this,” Flynn wrote on X, “and anyone who calls this out as a conspiracy theory can go F themselves. Ask any Vietnam Vet who was sprayed with agent orange if the [U.S. Government] sprays stuff from above!”
And of course:
According to a Tuesday report from Wired, the cloud seeding company Rainmaker has been caught in a wave of threats, and one Oklahoma weather radar station was vandalized and damaged, allegedly by a right-wing vigilante group that had bought into the conspiracies.
I’m with this guy:
You know where this is coming from right? I mean, other than the fact that these are all addled-brained morons. It’s because it’s becoming very obvious that we are having way more catastrophic weather events than before but since they have planted their flags in climate change denialism they have come up with this daft nonsense.
We are one small step away from these folks starting to sacrifice virgins to the weather gods. They’ll do anything to avoid admitting that they are wrong.
Update —
Oh my god. This is the director of the Environmental Protection Agency:
🚨BREAKING: Trump’s EPA Chief Lee Zeldin just blew the lid off a long-whispered bombshell.

Trump’s EPA Chief Lee Zeldin just blew the lid off a long-whispered bombshell.
He’s ordering the full public release of everything the EPA knows about geoengineering, contrails, and solar manipulation. “Instead of dismissing these concerns as conspiracies, we’re meeting them head on… I want the public to know everything I know.”
That means: — Chemtrails? — Sun-dimming projects? — Climate manipulation by governments or private actors?
All of it. On the record. For the public.
