Interview discusses current status of Idaho bills S1064 - Cloud Seeding and S1065 - Weather Modification, how these statuses came to be, and important informed consent and transparency issues surrounding cloud seeding and weather modification. Show notes include resource links and a call to action.

_____________

S1065 prohibits unauthorized weather modification and Solar Radiation Management (SRM) in Idaho. Engaging in these activities would be a misdemeanor, enforceable by state law enforcement, county sheriffs, and city police officers. S1065 exempts already-established authorized cloud seeding (see related S1064, which requires accountability for cloud seeding). It also removes a taxing district that has not been in use since the 1970’s.

Terms:

  • Cloud seeding: Introducing particles into clouds to enhance precipitation or disperse fog

  • SRM: Deliberately modifying the earth's radiative balance by reducing sunlight.

  • Weather modification: Intentionally altering atmospheric conditions

Weather modification began as a weapon of war in late 1940s and later was co-opted by progressive climate change activists as a way to “save the planet.” 

Fortunately, some legislators around the country understood the intent and current state of progressive climate policy. Responding to Biden’s 2023 White House climate change initiatives, many states introduced SRM-restricting bills; Tennessee passed one in 2024. This year, Idaho’s own Senator Tammy Nichols introduced S1065 to protect Idaho from climate engineers’ experimentation.

Regulating government sponsored open-air experiments is good policy. Despite progressives calling SRM and weather modification (which goes by many names) beneficial to one-world health – plants, animals, humans – this may not be a benign technology. We need better research, but not in the open air where biological organisms, forests, air, and water are exposed to tinkering without our informed consent.

Should governments spend taxpayer dollars on such research projects – especially in the open air and often with strings attached? “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” Tellingly, the 2023 White House document on SRM states:

The ability to detect any global or regional SRM deployments would be of value for decision-making. Verifying a deployment—whether carried out covertly or openly—over the short-and long-term would occur by measuring and monitoring the characteristics of the deployment, while assessing the intended and unintended physical, environmental, and societal outcomes…

Do we really want “COVERT” deployment of weather modification/SRM? Again, a hard “NO.” Please pass S1065.
