Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to entertain with her outlandish theories, including the belief that Democrats have the power to control the weather. This time, the controversial Congresswoman suggested on X that the government could use “geoengineering” to combat the wildfires devastating the Greater Los Angeles area. Her solution? A weather-controlling process known as cloud seeding.
Greene, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, posted that the Democrats “know how to do it,” implying that they could use weather modification to bring rain and extinguish the fires. However, the suggestion sparked widespread mockery, especially when X’s Community Notes feature fact-checked her statement. The tool, which allows users to add context and corrections, clarified that cloud seeding is not a magical solution. While it can slightly enhance precipitation, the process isn’t capable of controlling weather patterns or stopping large-scale disasters like wildfires.
In a twist of irony, Greene thanked the Community Notes for “proving her right,” completely overlooking the fact that the corrections debunked her wild claim. She’s no stranger to these bizarre assertions, having previously linked natural disasters like Hurricane Helene to the idea that Democrats control the weather. Add to that her infamous claim that space lasers sparked the 2018 California wildfires, and it’s clear Greene’s conspiracy theories know no bounds.
This isn’t the first time Greene has stirred up controversy with her far-fetched beliefs, but her recent interactions with the Community Notes feature have highlighted just how much her theories stray from reality. Despite all the clarifications, it seems Greene remains firmly convinced that the weather is just another tool in the hands of powerful politicians.
