Not quite the same, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is asking for the government to use its weather control machine to stop the fires in LA.
MTG suggests cloud seeding could stop LA wildfires months after implying it was used to create hurricanes (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-cloud-seeding-california-wildfires-b2678724.html)
