‘It’s mindblowing’: US meteorologists face death threats as hurricane conspiracies surge

Storms Helene and Milton have triggered rise of misinformation stoked by Trump and fellow Republicans

www.theguardian.com

Meteorologists tracking the advance of Hurricane Milton have been targeted by a deluge of conspiracy theories...The extent of the misinformation, which has been stoked by Donald Trump and his followers, has been such that it has stymied the ability to help hurricane-hit communities, according to the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema)...

A wide range of misinformation has been spread as Helene and then Milton gathered pace in the Gulf of Mexico, such as claims spread by Trump that Fema had run out of cash for hurricane survivors because it has been given to illegal immigrants. Violent threats have also become common, with posts across TikTok, Facebook and X (formerly known as Twitter), alleging that Fema workers should be beaten or “arrested or shot or hung on sight”.

More outlandishly, several of Trump’s closest allies have baselessly asserted that the federal government is somehow controlling hurricanes. “Hurricane Helene was an ATTACK caused by Weather Manipulation,” claimed a video shared by Michael Flynn, a former national security advisor to Trump.

“Yes they can control the weather,” Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right congresswoman, wrote on X last week. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”...

But for meteorologists, the experiences around Helene and Milton are just an extreme continuation of a trend where the public is increasingly getting its information from extremist figures online rather than experts, according to Chris Gloninger, a former TV meteorologist and climate scientist who faced threats for talking about the climate crisis during his forecasts.

“The modern Republican party has an army of people who are on social media with huge followings who just disseminate this misinformation,” Gloninger said. “I’m seeing my former colleagues getting threats, I’m getting messages that we are steering hurricanes into red states. It’s mindblowing, I’ve never seen anything like this in any disaster.”

These people are getting more and more dangerous and more and more unhinged. It's something I couldn't even have conceived of 20 years ago.

The level of absurdity is really hard to grasp and even though it's happening right in front of our eyes, it's nearly impossible to believe.

But people should make no mistake in that this is an extremely dangerous development surging from the right and it isn't just this hurricane. It's the eating pets and the election fraud lies and basically the entire mythos that Trump has brought into the national conversation.

Imagine when this crowd gets good at using and falling for fake AI images to promote fear and violence and division.

Operation Popeye (Project Controlled Weather Popeye / Motorpool / Intermediary-Compatriot) was a military cloud-seeding project carried out by the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War in 1967–1972. The highly classified program attempted to extend the monsoon season over specific areas

seeding was officially denied and it took years before the government admitted it.

If the U.S. is capable of creating massive hurricanes, why do we just keep sending them over Florida? Is Bugs Bunny in charge or something?

I've seen many CTers on Twitter blaming the Jews. We know for which side they would have fought for in WWII.

If it were true, wouldn’t meteorologists be the only people who could prove it from the outside?

not if all the democrats tracked down and paid off 100% of private meteorologists. you know, the same democrats they say can't manage to tie their shoes in the morning.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

The weather creators of the deep state are blessing us with a great fall day in the Greater Toronto area today!!

 

[heloder]

Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works.

But this kind of shit is why stupid people adore Trump. He doesn't just normalize stupidity—he celebrates it.

But hey, if the Democrats are smart enough to create and control hurricanes then I'm definitely voting for them over the retards who can't even make it rain when they want to.

 

[lsa]

If they can control the weather why not hit US enemies?
No lets hit Florida..

Well Florida did had it coming

 

[Captain Tenneal]

Goverments have seeded clouds before, this is a proven fact. But that doesn't mean anybody can just start producing hurricanes

And what is the motive anyways? This is bad for capitalism, trade, and pretty much everything else

 

[Sweater of AV]

I would laugh and say that's impossible because no one is that stupid but alas I've seen the War Room.

That's already happening. There were two images of Trump, one where he was climbing a telephone poll to fix something, and another where he was walking through flood water with a kid he rescued on his shoulders, that boomers fell for hard. 160,000 people had liked the image on Facebook or some shit. I'm sure it is more now. I hope most of the likes were actually from bots. Because if not...we're in trouble.

 

[Deleted member 585708]

I've figured it out.

CTards think Democrats are God.

Think about it.

Every biblical event and the imagined potential Judgement Day are all down to Democrats.

They think they are, collectively, God himself.
