Florida Bans Geoengineering: A Turning Point in Environmental Sovereignty

 

Clear Skies Ahead: Florida Declares War on Weather Manipulation

Introduction

Florida has officially become the first U.S. state to prohibit geoengineering practices with the enactment of Senate Bill 56. This groundbreaking law bans the release of chemicals or agents into the atmosphere with the intent to influence weather, temperature, or sunlight levels.

What the Law Prohibits

Senate Bill 56 states that:

“The injection, release, or dispersion of chemical, biological agents, or any substance into Florida’s atmosphere with the intent to affect temperature, weather patterns, or sunlight intensity is strictly prohibited.”

Penalties

• Third-degree felony

• Up to 5 years in prison

• Up to $100,000 in fines

When Was It Signed?

• Signed into law in April 2025

• Currently in effect

Reporting System

Florida's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has launched an official complaint system that allows residents to:

• Report suspicious aircraft or emissions

• Submit photographic or video evidence

• Track the status of investigations

Any Arrests or Violations Yet?

As of today, no official arrests have been made under this law. However, environmental watchdog groups are already collecting data, and enforcement protocols are being put into place.
