US congressman spreads conspiracy theory about 'weather controller'

The Guardian reported on October 7 that in a post on social network X last week, Ms. Grenne wrote: "Yes, they can control the weather. It's ridiculous that someone would lie and say it can't be done." Ms. Marjorie Taylor Greene did not mention the subject in question, but this congresswoman has previously promoted conspiracy theories about the US government and many other groups.

On October 5, she followed up with a 2013 CBS News report about laser-induced rain and lightning. “CBS, 9 years ago, talked about laser weather control,” she wrote on X, apparently misreading the time of the broadcast.

There are currently small-scale weather modification projects in the world , such as cloud seeding. However, according to PolitiFact, there is currently no project that proves humans can intervene to modify or create destructive storms like Hurricane Helene.

Congressman Greene's recent false statements have drawn criticism, as people and governments in many US states struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene, a natural disaster that killed more than 200 people in the US.

The National Interest in 2021 also cited a Facebook post by Ms. Greene from 2018, writing that the wildfires in California were caused by "secret Jewish lasers in outer space".

Director of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Deanne Criswell on October 6 condemned false information about Hurricane Helene, which caused panic among people and dampened the spirits of those working to support recovery efforts after the storm.
