Cloud seeding is attracting the attention of lawmakers

While we learned about the tragic flooding in Texas over Independence Day weekend, something else had quietly unfolded in the clouds overhead in the Lone Star state — cloud seeding.

As of July 1, 2025, cloud seeding is banned in Florida. The Sunshine State joins Tennessee, and now 24 other states have introduced similar bills.

A bill patterned after Florida’s law will be introduced in Congress. Even Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. has spoken out against cloud seeding, which drops chemicals on the earth.

On the afternoon of July 2, just two days before the Texas flood, a company called Rainmaker released cloud-seeding chemicals in the air upwind from the devastated region. Rainmaker sprayed a mix of silver iodide and salt into two clouds — just four counties from where the deadly downpour occurred. Meteorological data shows that wind speed and direction were aligned to reach the flood zone within 24-48 hours.

Weather manipulation — also called geoengineering — is happening without public consent, scientific certainty, or moral clarity. It is largely unregulated, and it can cause irreparable harm.

We must take that fight to Washington. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is introducing a federal bill modeled after Florida’s SB 56 to ban unauthorized weather modification.

Send your urgent faxes to Congress. Demand oversight, accountability, and a full investigation into cloud seeding.

Texas isn’t the only one with growing concerns.

One expert, Dr. Hassan Abbas, said in Pakistan, cloud seeding contributed to “torrential downpours across the country.”

Dr Hassan Abbas linked the significant change in weather conditions with cloud seeding. According to him, the clouds produced for the artificial rain have been affecting the weather system.

He also said that sometimes artificial rain clouds do not open at the same place where they were seeded. ... [C]loud seeding makes the energy system faster and generates powerful rain clouds that cause heavy rain (emphasis added).

Back in the United States, anyone can purchase cloud-seeding services. This can lead to one community “stealing rain” from another.

Wichita Falls, TX, hired a company to seed clouds to create rain. A study by Texas Tech showed the cloud seeding program extended cloud life by nearly 30%, increased rainfall by 45%, and added 103 billion gallons of rainwater. That may sound beneficial — unless you live downstream and are faced with a raging flood.

This is not science fiction. It’s happening now.

Congress Must Act — And You Can Help

There are serious concerns about the long-term effects and unintended consequences of cloud seeding on everything, from our ecosystems to individual human health. This is still not fully understood.

One of these potential problems is that silver iodide, a common seeding agent, can affect respiratory health, and lead iodide — used in some programs — has been linked to neurological damage.

And those health concerns are nothing compared to the devastation and deadly flooding we just saw in Texas with the loss of human life and billions of dollars in estimated damages.

We cannot experiment with these unknown and unintended consequences. Congress must investigate and halt this geoengineering before it’s too late. Send your faxes to urge Congress to support this bill.

This bill being introduced in Congress will be patterned after the FL law, which went into effect on July 1.

This Florida law and the federal bill can effect national change and put in place much-needed protections. The Florida law:

• Bans unauthorized weather modification and secret experiments.
• Creates citizen reporting mechanisms.
• Fines lawbreakers up to 100,000 dollars and equipment operators 5,000 dollars and up to five years in prison for violations.

Now Congress must do the same — and they’ll only act if we apply pressure. Together, we must fight back. Send your urgent faxes urging Congress to fully investigate and block experiments with permanent, catastrophic consequences.

At Liberty Counsel Action, we’re working to stop this reckless tampering with God’s creation.

That’s why we’re asking you to support this fight with a generous gift of 25, 50, 100 dollars or more. Every dollar you give helps us educate lawmakers, mobilize the public, and stop these weather experiments.

Let’s stop this before another community suffers the consequences of unchecked weather manipulation. Let's fight for the right to clean skies, clear laws, and moral science.
