Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Dead Wrong About Outlawing Climate Geoengineering
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–Ga.) and leading MAGA mountebank earlier this month urgently demanded that “we must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.” She added, “This is not normal. I want clean air, clean skies, clean rain water, clean ground water, and sun shine just like God created it!! No person, company, entity, or government should ever be allowed to modify our weather by any means possible!!”

Greene has a long history of promoting debunked theories about chemtrails and cloud-seeded floods (not to mention innuendos about Jewish space lasers causing forest fires), and her proposed prohibition on atmospheric geoengineering can now be added to her list of specious provocations.
As a matter of fact, there is currently an ongoing “injection, release, or dispersal” of a a chemical compound or a substance that is already geoengineering the “temperature, precipitation, or the intensity of sunlight.” These are globe-warming greenhouse gases that are accumulating in the atmosphere as the result of increased carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, methane and various synthetic gases. As a consequence, last year was the hottest in the
