Marla Maples Fights for Cleaner Skies as EPA Probes Weather Modification Amid Texas Floods

In a striking call for clarity over our skies, Marla Maples, co-founder of the Global Wellness Forum, has emerged as a passionate advocate against weather modification practices, especially in the wake of devastating floods in Texas. Her concerns, shared with a blend of urgency and personal conviction, spotlight a growing debate over human intervention in natural weather patterns.

Maples describes weather modification as an audacious attempt to play god with the atmosphere, using methods like cloud seeding with silver iodide or dispersing aerosol sprays filled with substances such as aluminum and barium. "Who gets to decide what happens in our shared skies?" she poignantly asks, pushing for transparency and public consent in these shadowy practices.

This issue gained legislative traction in Florida, where Maples helped champion Senate Bill 56, signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on July 1, 2025. This pioneering legislation criminalizes geoengineering and weather modification, making Florida the first state to take such a firm stand. At least 24 other states are following suit with similar proposals, signaling a nationwide awakening to the potential risks of tampering with the climate.

The recent Texas floods have only intensified scrutiny. While some, like Senator Ted Cruz, dismiss any link to weather modification as unsubstantiated, others, including Maples, wonder if unseen hands are at play. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier echoed this caution, warning against injecting novel chemicals into the atmosphere to block sunlight—especially in a state where sunshine is a cherished asset.

Adding to the discourse, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has launched online resources to address public concerns about contrails and geoengineering, promising full transparency. Meanwhile, voices like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are amplifying the call to ban such practices, citing risks to health and the environment.

Maples herself speaks of a personal toll, recalling clearer skies from her Georgia childhood and lamenting the lingering streaks now often seen overhead. She urges Americans to notice how they feel under these altered skies—whether it’s a foggy mind or unexpected fatigue—and to demand answers. As this debate heats up, one thing is clear: the fight for clean, untampered skies is just beginning.
