Dear Editor:
On July 1, 2025, the legislation known as “Geoengineering and Weather Modification” was signed into law by Gov. DeSantis. Thanks to State Senators Leek and Garcia for sponsoring this law and Representative Partington from Ormond Beach for his support as well.
The law prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of the state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, weather, climate, or intensity of the sunlight. Any person who violates this prohibition commits a third degree-felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. This law repeals all other existing weather modification statutes, including the Department of Environmental Protection weather modification license program.
The goal of the law is to end the so called chemtrails across the Florida skies, which are white exhaust from aircraft that form thin layers of artificial atmospheric cloud cover for the purpose of dimming the sunlight. These differ from trails the aircraft at high altitudes create and dissipate behind the aircraft. For more details on chemtrails and atmosphere aerosol spraying, review The Dimming video documentary, found on Rumble and produced by Dane Wigington of Geoengineeringwatch.
To report a chemtrail, you can call the Department of Environmental Protection hot line (888) 750-4195.
Since passage of this law on July 1, I have continued to observe chemtrail patterns across the skies over Volusia County. If the state of Florida is going to truly enforce this new law, it will need more than a hot line or reporting mechanism to DEP. The State will need to fly its own aircraft to monitor the aircraft that are spewing these aerosol chemicals and begin arresting those in violation of the law.
Look up Floridians and observe for yourself the artificial cloud creation from aircraft and support the efforts to end the chemical aerosol spraying over us.

Editor’s note: According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “chemtrail” is a term “some people use to inaccurately claim that contrails resulting from routine air traffic are actually an intentional release of dangerous chemicals or biological agents at high altitudes for a variety of nefarious purposes, including population control, mind control, or attempts to geoengineer Earth or modify the weather.” The agency additionally states on its website that the “federal government is not aware of there ever being a contrail intentionally formed over the United States for the purpose of geoengineering or weather modification.”
