Texas Floods Spark Wild Weather Control Claims
Texas, USATue Jul 08 2025
In the wake of devastating floods in Texas, some politicians have floated bizarre ideas about weather control. Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, quickly shut down these claims. He stated that there is no proof to support the idea that anyone can manipulate the weather. Cruz also pointed out that the internet is full of wild theories.
These comments came after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia said she would introduce a bill to ban weather modification. Greene believes that the government can control the weather and has been researching this topic for months. She even suggested that weather control could have been used to stop wildfires in California.
Meanwhile, the floods in Texas have caused massive damage, with many rescues and a rising death toll. As of Monday, 89 people were confirmed dead. Amid this crisis, Cruz urged people to focus on helping those affected rather than spreading conspiracy theories.
Kandiss Taylor, a Georgia politician, also joined the conversation, claiming that the floods were a result of manipulated weather. She called the events "fake weather" on social media. With Republicans in control of the government, Cruz is working to debunk these theories and address more serious concerns about disaster response.
The debate highlights a growing trend of conspiracy theories in politics. While some lawmakers push for legislation based on these ideas, others like Cruz are trying to keep the focus on real issues. The situation raises questions about how conspiracy theories influence policy and public discourse.
