WASHINGTON \u2013<\/strong> Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released new online resources to address public questions and concerns about two topics: geoengineering and contrails.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n EPA created these new online resources to communicate everything the agency knows about the latest science, research and other information regarding contrails and geoengineering. EPA is committed to total transparency with the American public on these topics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAmericans have legitimate questions about contrails and geoengineering, and they deserve straight answers,\u201d said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.<\/strong> “We\u2019re publishing everything EPA knows about these topics on these websites.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n EPA\u2019s new online resource on condensation trails, or \u201ccontrails,\u201d explains the science behind the aerial phenomenon and addresses myths and misconceptions that have persisted for decades. The new webpage also addresses head-on various claims that these occurrences 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.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n EPA also created a new online resource focused specifically on solar geoengineering activities, which involve cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space, usually through injecting gases, like sulfur dioxide, into the upper atmosphere where they form reflective particles.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n “EPA shares the significant reservations many Americans have when it comes to geoengineering activities,\u201d added<\/strong> Administrator Zeldin.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n The resource delves into the current state of science and research surrounding geoengineering, including the potentially negative impacts it could have on the environment and human health, including depleting the ozone layer, harming crops, altering weather patterns and creating acid rain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n EPA’s new resource also details what EPA has done to identify and track private actors potentially engaged in such activities. Additionally, the online resource discusses\u00a0weather modification and cloud seeding, and related federal and state government actions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Access the EPA\u2019s new Geoengineering<\/a> and Information on Contrails from Aircraft<\/a> online resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 10, 2025 WASHINGTON \u2013 Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released new online resources to address public…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":55251,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[40719,51,50,52],"class_list":["post-55250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-administrator","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114831338401843931","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
