A House Republican from Florida wants steep fines and prison time for culprits of “weather modification.”
Rep. Greg Steube’s “Air Quality Act,” H.R. 7452, would impose penalties of up to $100,000 for each violation as well as five years in prison for people who conduct “weather modification.”
In addition, EPA and the Federal Aviation Administration could impose a $10,000 civil fine on those responsible for meddling with the weather.
The bill lists several examples of weather modification, such as cloud seeding, solar radiation management and geoengineering to dim or block sunlight to cool the planet.
