The compound causes ice crystals to form from liquid water within the clouds, in turn leading to rain or snow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wyoming Water Development Office began&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wwdc.state.wy.us\/weathermod\/WxMod_Fact-Sheet_2022.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">winter cloud seeding programs<\/a>&nbsp;in 2014 after studying it for several years. The office\u2019s first project was a ground-based effort in the Wind River Range. The office began aerial operations in the Medicine Bow and Sierra Madre ranges in 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the leading voices&nbsp;opposing cloud seeding in Wyoming is&nbsp;Freedom Caucus Chair State Rep. Rachel Rodriguez-Williams, R-Cody,&nbsp;who&nbsp;told Cowboy State Daily&nbsp;on Monday&nbsp;that Greene\u2019s proposal is \u201ccommon sense.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t inject toxins into the atmosphere in pursuit of the climate cult\u2019s desire to change the weather,\u201d&nbsp;she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silver iodide is toxic enough to be regulated by the Clean Water Act. However, the effects of the chemical haven\u2019t been scientifically proven, according to the Bulletin&nbsp;of Atomic Scientists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some studies show the amount of silver iodide to be harmless&nbsp;while&nbsp;others&nbsp;claim&nbsp;there could be effects on marine life from accumulation over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2018Knee-Jerk Reaction\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>State Sen. Tara Nethercott, R-Cheyenne, said she&nbsp;believes&nbsp;Greene\u2019s proposal to be a&nbsp;\u201cknee-jerk reaction\u201d&nbsp;to fears over chemtrails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that proposal is short-sighted and a knee-jerk reaction in order to get attention.&nbsp;It isn&#8217;t based on science,\u201d Nethercott told Cowboy State Daily. \u201cHumans have been diverting water for thousands of years from the Roman aqueducts to your local irrigation system.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud seeding also prevents hail in Cheyenne and other places in southeastern Wyoming, Nethercott said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ranchers in Pinedale have reported benefits from cloud seeding, Wyoming Stock Growers Association Executive Vice President Jim Magagna&nbsp;said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Efforts to stop cloud seeding are happening at multiple levels of government,&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An effort to eliminate Wyoming\u2019s cloud-seeding program failed in the 2023 legislative session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wyoming Legislature&nbsp;then&nbsp;voted earlier this year to remove almost all funding for the state\u2019s cloud seeding effort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State Rep. Mike Schmid, R-La Barge, led the effort to cut&nbsp;the program\u2019s&nbsp;funding. He argued there\u2019s a lack of evidence that it works and that it could harm the environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schmid pointed&nbsp;to&nbsp;Whiskey Mountain bighorn sheep herd,&nbsp;which has lost an estimated 1,500 members of its once 2,000-member herd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis herd has for years been suffering from alarmingly low birth rates and repeated pneumonia outbreaks,\u201d Schmid&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cowboystatedaily.com\/2025\/05\/27\/guest-column-is-cloud-seeding-harming-wildlife-water-time-to-ask-hard-questions\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>wrote in a Cowboy State Daily op-ed<\/u><\/a>. \u201cWhile habitat loss may play a role, we cannot ignore the fact that these sheep live in one of the most heavily cloud-seeded regions in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCould the accumulation of silver iodide in the soil and water \u2014 known to harm both wildlife and immune systems&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;be a contributing factor?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of Wyoming\u2019s glaciers, particularly in the Wind River Range,&nbsp;also&nbsp;are melting faster than expected, he&nbsp;wrote, adding it could be because of the silver iodide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State Rep. Bob Nicholas, R-Cheyenne,&nbsp;said&nbsp;during debate of Wyoming\u2019s could-seeding bill this past session that&nbsp;the state needs&nbsp;to know more about the effects of silver iodide,&nbsp;but added he didn\u2019t support the funding cut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut you don\u2019t pause it, unless you have to, because you have data to prove it, and we don\u2019t have that,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cowboystatedaily.com\/2025\/02\/10\/state-house-dumps-wyoming-cloud-seeding-program\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Nicholas said during that debate<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tCGPbi9PsJw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I include this article because chemtrails is not a conspiracy theory, but conspiracy fact.
