Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced a bill to ban weather modification on Saturday, following claims that it contributed to the Texas floods.

Weather modification, or efforts to change or control clouds and precipitation, has long been a controversial subject. Some favor the practice as part of modern agricultural technology, while others claim that it is ruining the “natural balance” of weather systems and ecosystems. The debate dates back to the 1950s, when military programs first explored weather control as a strategic tool, raising ethical and environmental concerns that persist to this day.
