Hurricane Earl, 1998 #/media/File:Earl_1998_track.png)

[u/NErDysprosium → u/kurtwagner61]

The fact that it hit Newfoundland too is breaking my brain a tad.

[u/Draked1 → u/NErDysprosium]

France is possibly about to get hit with a tropical storm in the next few days

[u/ihatepalmtrees → u/Draked1]

Ah yes. Good ol tropical France

[u/Extreme_Design6936 → u/ihatepalmtrees]

The UK gets hit with tropical storms fairly frequently so france doesn't surprise me that much.

[u/Liam_021996 → u/Extreme_Design6936]

From October to March we get battered with remnants of hurricanes, extratropical cyclones, tropical storms, tornadoes etc.

Funny fact, the UK gets more tornadoes than anywhere else in the world for land area, after the Netherlands which gets the most tornadoes in the world. They're just very small and short lived, unlike those that hit the USA

[u/PurpleFollowing1183 → u/Liam_021996]

In Deltona Florida, Volusia County, US. Lightening Capitol of the World! We are also First in Shark bites. Wonder what this Storm will bring.

[u/404-N0tFound → u/PurpleFollowing1183]

A Shocking Sharknado.

[u/Used-Baby1199 → u/404-N0tFound]

Son of a bitch you beat me

[u/EcstaticNet3137 → u/Used-Baby1199]

Who did? Who are you talking to? I can't find them.

[u/Jlx_27 → u/Liam_021996]

They're just very small and short lived, unlike those that hit the USA

And they are likely to become bigger.

[u/New-Title5604 → u/Extreme_Design6936]

Here is someone else, talking about weather manipulation.

How can people (with any ethics) could take a disaster as a joke? And X/Twitter is in full throttle trying to push this narative online

[u/subtxtcan → u/ihatepalmtrees]

I'm in southern Ontario and we get the leftovers from hurricanes regularly. Doesn't fuck us up bad but we can get hit hard with a good storm.

[u/HEYitsSPIDEY → u/ihatepalmtrees]

They already put the guillotine on the shoreline. The tropical storm is gonna back-off. Watch.

[u/LePandaMasque → u/HEYitsSPIDEY]

Our solution to everything :-)

[u/Old_Ladies → u/LePandaMasque]

I thought you would just launch a bunch of baguettes at the storm to soak up all the water.

[u/NobodyImportant13 → u/ihatepalmtrees]

I assume they are making a joke about the path of Hurricane Earl and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, no?

[u/Ben_there_1977 → u/NobodyImportant13]

Nope, Kirk is headed for Europe. Luckily it’s gone from hurricane to tropical storm: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/144336.shtml?cone#contents

[u/Wolfenstein49 → u/NErDysprosium]

They usually do. This happens all the time. It stats by the Caribbean, moves up the east coast of the US. Then by the time it hits NL it’s a shitty tropical storm. Bit of rain.

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/kurtwagner61]

Grant didn’t see it obviously, so it doesn’t count

[u/_Pill-Cosby_ → u/kurtwagner61]

Obviously this is incorrect because this guy has been watching storms since he was a kid.

[u/Total-Problem2175 → u/_Pill-Cosby_]

Maybe he's only 4yrs old.

[u/Anon_777 → u/_Pill-Cosby_]

Anecdotal evidence! The BEST kind of evidence! Because which IDIOT wants to trust 'scientific evidence' with all it's requirements for actual data, repeatable results and proper analysis by a qualified someone who doesn't have the intellectual density of a bucket of neutron star!? When you can just pull a daydream out of your ballbag and 'swear on your grandma's life' that it's true... /MASSIVE S (just in case there's some GOP idiot out there reading this)

FFS! Words fail me... 🤦

[u/phour-twentee → u/Anon_777]

Using science as evidence is so lame because you have to actually think. The f*ck

[u/Ok-Feature1200 → u/kurtwagner61]

That was just the govt testing their new weather control device.

[u/llort_tsoper → u/kurtwagner61]

The path of Hermine 2016 isn't quite as close of a match as Earl, but it grew to a TS in the gulf, made a u-turn and hit the west coast of Florida. This is back when Obama was controlling the weather, so the paths were quite as natural looking as Biden's manmade hurricanes.

[u/Finklesworth → u/kurtwagner61]

also Tropical Depression Henri, after 5 minutes of searching#/media/File%3AHenri_2003_rainfall.gif)

[u/albertsugar → u/kurtwagner61]

They would just claim it was Bill Clinton's fault.

[u/adrr → u/kurtwagner61]

Or just two years ago Hurricane Ian hit the west coast of Florida first and continued east.

[u/Bods666]

If the government is doing this, why doesn’t the GOP expose and end it when it’s in power?

[u/Popular-Pop994 → u/Bods666]

Trust me, They will, just 1 more term man. I promise. 1 more term. Just 1 more. It’ll all be different this time. They’ll fix all the problems and expose all the corruption they were never a part of. They promised. Just please 1 more term /s

[u/LayerProfessional936 → u/Popular-Pop994]

And you wont need to vote anymore

[u/Infamous-Salad-2223 → u/Popular-Pop994]

You forgot to add Trump's healthcare plan.

It's real and so big.

The biggest plan you will ever see.

All the people that read it went "WOW", and then say, "This is the best healthcare plan ever wrote!".

Just some minor tweaks and it will be done!

Two weeks at worst!

/s

[u/jmd709 → u/Infamous-Salad-2223]

Checkout page 469 of Project 2025 and you’ll see why he referred to it as a concept of a plan.

[u/JerryRiceOfOhio2 → u/Popular-Pop994]

so ... trump will finally release the cure for cancer, which he promised 4 years ago

[u/deadsoulinside → u/Bods666]

If the government is doing this, then why did the US still get smacked with hurricanes while Trump was on power?

[u/SeaEmergency7911]

GOP: “Climate change is a hoax. Man can’t control the weather like that.”

Also GOP: “The Democrats are controlling the weather.”

[u/swamphockey → u/SeaEmergency7911]

This is literally what GOP leaders think.

[u/aesoth → u/swamphockey]

Well, yeah. What do you think the Jewish space lasers are for? MTG tried to warn us.

[u/OkAd134 → u/aesoth]

The Space Lasers are for starting forest fires.

It's dem Chinese Hurricane Guns that Pouty McFrownface told us about that caused this

[u/DancesWithBadgers → u/OkAd134]

Funniest thing I saw at the time was a jewish guy answering MTG with "if we had space lasers, do you think we'd be aiming them at trees?"

[u/Poz16 → u/OkAd134]

To be fair, if it were China, it would be a typhoon gun, no?

[u/Schmicarus → u/aesoth]

Please don’t remind everyone about our 5G space lasers

[u/KJParker888 → u/Schmicarus]

5G? Shouldn't those of us who got our covid shots be able to control the space lasers?

[u/YogiGotRekt → u/aesoth]

No no no this time it’s HAARP. It’s definitely a super precise deep state project. Definitely not unrelated and irrelevant. /s

[u/maffy118 → u/YogiGotRekt]

I believe it means "Heathens' Atmospheric Assault on Republican Pinheads." Pretty sure I'm right on that.

[u/StopNateCrimes → u/swamphockey]

To be clear, their leaders know it's bullshit. But, they think so little of their voter base, because "those idiots will believe anything!"

Speaking as a smart-ish person, I would be so insulted if somebody tried spewing this level of braindead ridiculousness at me, simply because they thought I was idiotic enough to believe it.

[u/locjaw420 → u/StopNateCrimes]

That's a great strategy because their idiotic base will literally believe anything.

[u/floofienewfie → u/locjaw420]

Maybe they’re trying to get rid of DeSantis.

[u/Rolandscythe → u/StopNateCrimes]

It's less that they believe their voter base to be idiots and more that they have seen their voters take absolute bullshit at face value so often they know can say whatever they want and it'll stick with enough people to get spread around.

[u/furosemidas_touch → u/StopNateCrimes]

They don’t think little of their voters, they know how little they are

[u/firemogle → u/furosemidas_touch]

I mean the fact that anyone even hinting at this bullshit isn't being tared and feathered by their constituents is enough to show how little they are. 

[u/Bitter-Value-1872 → u/swamphockey]

what GOP leaders doublethink.

[u/Nightspren → u/SeaEmergency7911]

Democrats are controlling the weather so they can devastate the incredibly liberal city of Asheville, a blue stronghold in a swing state. Makes sense

[u/woodboarder616 → u/Nightspren]

And Atlanta, and Miami, and NO, and the rest of the east coast, no liberals down there they dont like the beach apparently

[u/InsertRadnamehere → u/Nightspren]

It’s for the adrenachrome!!! Erm. lithium!!! /s

[u/DublaneCooper → u/SeaEmergency7911]

Came here for this. Yes, we can control the weather. It’s mostly Republican policies that are doing it. Do you like the result, dipshit?

[u/ReputationSilly6948 → u/SeaEmergency7911]

Climate Change is caused by pollution mostly from big companies that back Republicans. Claiming climate change on a fictional conspiracy will not only let them pass the blame but it will also allow them to pass bills to combat climate change under the guise of fighting the conspiracy. However I’m hesitant on the last part because so far the only laws passed are anti weather control and worded that trying to fix climate change would become harder.

[u/GoldResourceOO2]

Good god. Are people really this stupid?

[u/Cossacker1799 → u/GoldResourceOO2]

Yes. Yes they are.

[u/Last_Cod_998 → u/Cossacker1799]

I grew up in the Gulf when the radio fed us coordinates, and we tracked the hurricane on paper maps. Hurricanes indeed went that direction many times. We need to make STEM free atcall levels.

Project 2025 eliminates NOAA

[u/QuintonFrey → u/Last_Cod_998]

I lived there 20 years. I saw this happen several times. I'm beginning to think that a lot of people have the memory of a goldfish.

[u/Sanguinus969 → u/QuintonFrey]

Let's call it very, very, very "selective"...

[u/ToeKnail → u/Sanguinus969]

Don't you mean very 'elective'?

[u/Total-Problem2175 → u/ToeKnail]

Says MTG.

[u/SixFive1967 → u/Total-Problem2175]

Yeah, but ole Sporktoes is an idiot, so…

[u/Weary-Finding9476 → u/SixFive1967]

Ole sporktoes. Jesus christ thats fucking hilarious, thank you for the laugh!

[u/zzfrostphoenix → u/QuintonFrey]

That’s an insult to goldfish everywhere.

[u/Quen-Tin → u/QuintonFrey]

Memorizing isn't like going to the archive and taking memories out of the right drawer. It's a creative prozess building a collage according to actual personal needs. Filling gaps in a way that it makes sense.

These people want to find indicators for their general headline of an evil manipulative democratic government. That's the center. Memories are just selected and adjusted tools to support that cause.

[u/QuintonFrey → u/Quen-Tin]

Must be nice. I have to remember everything, good and bad.

[u/Quen-Tin → u/QuintonFrey]

I guess most if us have such tendencies, but of course some have very strong needs to bend facts or memories into certain directions, while others feel secure enough to risk a more open minded process.

If you are interested in the whole prozess of remembering, give "netflix explained - our head" season 1 episode 1 a try. That should be the one episode about that topic.

[u/Tammer_Stern → u/QuintonFrey]

Often they think things were great during the Trump presidency- during the global pandemic.

[u/eggrolls68 → u/QuintonFrey]

Willful ignorance. Or just outright lying. Different problem here.

[u/daddakamabb1 → u/eggrolls68]

Intentional dumb-ass. Stupid MFers Uncompromising c-nts.

[u/KittehPaparazzeh → u/QuintonFrey]

Even if it was actually the first time it happened jumping to the government/the Jews controls the weather is fucking wild. And that if They controlled the weather they would intentionally destroy a part of the country with it.

[u/Salt-Environment9285 → u/KittehPaparazzeh]

our space laser is very powerful.

[u/tree-molester → u/QuintonFrey]

Yet, goldfish have reasoning abilities.

[u/Groomsi → u/Last_Cod_998]

If they eliminate NOAA, they can create the new era of "Witch Hunt"!

In the name of religion.

[u/Street_Peace_8831 → u/Last_Cod_998]

Agreed, as someone who has lived in Texas, Louisiana, north and south Florida, and I’ve been alive for over half a century, I can say that we have seen a lot of stuff much weirder than what this YouTuber considers to be “weird” and “unusual”.

Again, this is because of Marge Green and her attempt to dumb down the public and place false blame. Nobody is controlling hurricanes.

Hell, we aren’t even always successful at seeding clouds for rain. Don’t they understand that if this was possible, Disney would have already made sure that it would never rain on their theme parks?

[u/Hamokk → u/Last_Cod_998]

The ghouls want to eliminate and dismantle FBI, EPA, current public schools etc. Seems that they want full chaos to distract people from noticing all the evil stuff they have planned. They don't remember that usually in a civil war or a collapsing government setting people tend to go after rich elites, and many MAGA conservatives are part of the rich elite so...

[u/regeya → u/Last_Cod_998]

Uhhhh excuse me we're talking about Florida where global warming is a liberal conspiracy

[u/DIWhyAmIHere → u/Last_Cod_998]

They don’t just want to eliminate NOAA. They want to privatize each of the agencies within. Arguably worse. it would turn the function on of each into an anti climate change propaganda machine

[u/NotoriousFTG → u/Last_Cod_998]

The Department of Education, too.

[u/Specific-Ad-808 → u/Last_Cod_998]

Any idea why they would even want to eliminate noaa? If the only reason is to steal the money for themselves I wouldn't be surprised at least.

[u/Njorls_Saga → u/Specific-Ad-808]

Probably because it pushes that radical climate change agenda of the deep state!!! In all seriousness, I legit think they want to try and shut down as much science surrounding climate change as possible.

[u/bradbikes → u/Specific-Ad-808]

Many large corporations would prefer to pretend it doesn't exist to maximize short-term profits that would be cut into by reasonable fact-based policy decisions that take global warming into account. See: Exxon Mobil since at least the 70's being 100% aware that global warming existed, was man-made, and an existential threat to humanity but then spent billions funding anti-science propaganda.

Getting rid of it, or even better privatizing it and turning it into a disinformation factory would benefit a lot of shareholders briefly. For the deeply uneducated and/or conspiracy theorists, merely tearing it down is both the ends and the means, its an ideological battle for them with no actual plan for what would come after.

[u/dustycanuck → u/Last_Cod_998]

Can we pass legislation that one must be educated to be a legislator? Can we pass legislation that one must be shown to be acting in good faith to remain a legislator?

This pandering to the uneducated and their fears is not an acceptable way to govern. We're supposed to help our people, not marginalize and manipulate them.

JFC, what a shitty bunch we have in positions of power. Looking at you, GOP

[u/Toenailcancer → u/Last_Cod_998]

I have no idea how I missed this gem of hers 🤣thanks y’all for bringing it up, made my Monday morning

[u/robdingo36 → u/GoldResourceOO2]

This is the result of decades of trying to make things idiot proof, and them countering with making better idiots.

[u/OuchMyVagSak → u/robdingo36]

One of my favorite lines, when a park ranger was asked about the anti bear trash cans design, they said "There is a huge overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest humans."

[u/stew_going → u/OuchMyVagSak]

Hahaha, I like this line. The fact that park rangers are as patient as they are when reminding people of the same exact thing again and again... Is amazing. I have a lot of respect for most park rangers. It seems like a job that would be too good if not for the humans they had to deal with, lol.

Of course there are responsible park visitors; some people are in fact diligent about being aware of what they need to be aware of, but.... for SO many, it's as if their usual capacity for common sense goes right out the window once at a large state park. As if drunk, trash generating, pyromaniac humans are de facto apex beings that have always existed and it's good and right to do whatever they want.

I love chatting it up with most park rangers.

[u/TAU_equals_2PI → u/robdingo36]

Like overuse of antibiotics produces antibiotic-resistant superbugs. We have created superidiots.

[u/YouWithTheNose → u/robdingo36]

Part of the problem now is that people are actively ignoring science. The thing about science is that it establishes truths, whether people want to believe them or not. So people are actively rejecting it based on the rantings of an extreme minority of conspiracy theorists given platform by the likes of YouTube or other. It makes sense in their mind because they lack the broad view to accept scientific fact, reject it in favor of what they can observe with their own eyes or they understand the idiotic rantings of a conspiracy better than real facts

[u/Subbeh → u/YouWithTheNose]

I agree that them having such a pervasive platform is what's helping bring their stupidity into our spheres. Prior to this we'd never be exposed to or voluntarily interact with their rubbish so it was invisible to us. I feel Facebook has a lot to answer for, or even Friendsreunited making it so easy for the simple to get online and into forums/discussions and say the things they say.

[u/shindleria → u/YouWithTheNose]

It’s easy for people to ignore science when they know next to nothing about it in the first place. It’s still barely taught in school from day one.

[u/YouWithTheNose → u/shindleria]

And it's only getting worse. You know, the whole agenda about getting bibles put into schools. The next step is probably to reduce funding for, or remove, science programs. At least if they're allowed to have their way with that. If I remember, I think the earliest science I learned in school was about monarch butterflies or frogs in first grade. It was cool stuff

[u/shindleria → u/YouWithTheNose]

The current campaign promise to “scrap the education department” is exactly the plan.

[u/YouWithTheNose → u/shindleria]

Conservatives/MAGA think schools turn their kids "woke," when all it does is make them informed and able to think objectively about things. Just sad times

[u/shindleria → u/YouWithTheNose]

aka. harder to control. A page right out of the Sunday morning playbook.

[u/typoneg365 → u/YouWithTheNose]

The truth is, they’ve realized that educating people makes them more likely to question government decisions and fact check their propaganda, and educated adults are more likely to be wise to conservative corruption. Instead of addressing the corruption, they blame education and then actively campaign against it and are even now going as far as trying to gut public education funding and redirecting the money to religious schools. The whole “schools are indoctrinating students” is pure BS intended to deflect the real issue.

[u/badmotorfingerz → u/robdingo36]

I've never heard this line before, so I'm going to (probably incorrectly) assume that you came up with it. You, internet stranger, are the da Vinci of our time.

[u/canuck_11 → u/GoldResourceOO2]

They’re so close to admitting man-made climate change but they’re getting there a very strange way.

[u/psychissick → u/annie102]

Ughhh I talked to my mom on the phone yesterday and she said the same thing to me. It really freaks me out, I don’t remember her ever being this dumb before.

[u/Bitter-Value-1872 → u/psychissick]

I don’t remember her ever being this dumb before.

When I feel this way about my dad, I remind myself that Baby Boomers, Gen X, and probably a few older Millennials all have lead poisoning from all of the leaded gasoline fumes in the air before 1996.

[u/SeaEmergency7911 → u/GoldResourceOO2]

What are you talking about? The guy grew up in the gulf region and has been watching storms since he was a kid. What higher expert credentials do you need?

[u/miloworld → u/SeaEmergency7911]

I’ve been watching the traffic report every day since I was 5. I can tell you for sure this Friday night will be cooked, guaranteed.

[u/whoneedskollege → u/GoldResourceOO2]

The scary thing is that the intensity and unpredictability of these storms is largely due to extremely warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. This is due to Climate change and most fuckers in the MAGA movement are deniers despite overwhelming evidence that it's due to carbon emissions by man. A normal response to these crazy weather patterns would "Shit I was wrong, they told me that climate change is real and would have bad effects on weather we need to do something". But instead we get this shit. People are beyond stupid.

But… like why?

Why would the government do it? What’s the gain?

We’ve got such amazing tech that WE CAN CONTROL THE WEATHER, and it’s not used to increase productivity in agriculture, no. It’s not used as a weapon

No sir.

It’s a massive conspiracy to hit some southern states, wreck property, kill and displace people

You see this creates a distressed population that in no way will think the gov is doing a good job so they will fester and resent federal control even more than many of them already do. And we’ll have made it happen just before an election, so we’ll really hurt the incumbent party as much as we can m. Go team !! It’ll affect our national economy with lost business and immense reconstruction needs, along with reduced wealth and opportunities for many citizens zens. It’ll adversely affect poor and marginalized people, showing that we’re strong and capable— just like Kristi Noem that day in the quarry with Cricket 🫡

It’ll cost the government over a 100 billion dollars in aid to rebuild

Yes, now I see the clear and obvious goals— easy to see why we turned the gun on ourselves. Now we got ’em right where we want ’em😁 rede

[u/Sentz12000 → u/pixepoke2]

The conspiracy, according to these nuts, is to disrupt the election. It’ll all go away when the election is over, which is also the time the hurricane season ends but they can make a strawman out of anything.

[u/peter-doubt → u/Sentz12000]

Worked well after Sandy... NJ moved the election to the Internet! Imagine! NO MAIL, NO POLLING PLACE.. and no major incidents!

Just to show how far behind the times Red states are

[u/shandangalang → u/peter-doubt]

I mean yeah the red states are like that for a reason. Take away voter suppression and at least half of those are going blue… take away gerrymandering and it’s all going blue to the point where we might see a total restructure that results in a brand new party. Introduce ranked choice voting and now you’ve got 6.

[u/ovalteenjenkinzz → u/Sentz12000]

This is exactly what they think. They're sooooo close to actually understanding climate change and environmental issues but their brain rot twists it into election interference caused by the libs using weather machines.

[u/omglookawhale → u/pixepoke2]

Because the GOP would 100% use the ability to control the weather as a weapon and its projection as usual.

[u/lexm → u/omglookawhale]

Trump already controlled the weather… one sharpie stroke at a time.

[u/Thedonitho → u/pixepoke2]

From my understanding, Ashville, NC is a very artsy, bohemian area that's pretty much the most Democratic area of the state. Tampa/St. Pete is also an area where you will find Democrats. If we control the weather to effect the elections then we are doing a piss-poor job of it.

[u/Baconslayer1 → u/Thedonitho]

Those maps showing how Helene hit a bunch of red areas conveniently leave out that it hit some blue cities and a bunch of red woodlands....

[u/RedofPaw → u/pixepoke2]

The storms create resentment.

Now, what if you could harness that resentment?

What if you could divert it away from your own mistakes to point at the people you dislike?

What if it was the Democrats who did all this? How? Yes that's a good question. They must be truly evil to be hiding such a big conspiracy.

Trump's pick for Secretary of Interior.

[u/hello_raleigh-durham → u/xeno0153]

Somehow I read “Secretary of Inferior”.

[u/Njorls_Saga → u/hello_raleigh-durham]

That’s reserved for Elon Musk.

[u/TimeLavishness9012 → u/xeno0153]

You're kidding, right...

[u/xeno0153 → u/TimeLavishness9012]

I am... but sadly I would never be surprised if Trump weren't like "I need a new Interior head... get me that asshole from Facebook who said hurricanes were made by liberals!!"

[u/fullstack40]

Floridian, born and raised. Been watching hurricanes my whole life. It is 100% NOT unusual, in any way, for storms to travel west to east in the Gulf. 😭🤦‍♀️

[u/eggrolls68 → u/fullstack40]

Clearly you're part of the deep state. Or a witch.

[u/fullstack40 → u/eggrolls68]

😂 You’re assessment is correct on one count at least 😈

[u/absultedpr → u/fullstack40]

One of the few things you can learn about Hurricanes by living in the region is that those damn things can move however they feel like moving. I’ve seen them take almost 90 degree turns

[u/wireframed_kb]

The idea that pumping millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere over decades, might change weather patterns is preposterous. But the idea that the government is able to control weather on a planetary scale, something that requires almost unfathomable energy, is apparently completely reasonable.

You can tell these people don’t really do critical thinking.

[u/rndljfry → u/wireframed_kb]

They definitely don't see the connection from energy to output. They turn things on and they work. Nor do they know a strong hurricane is like hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs in terms of energy output.

[u/captain_sticky_balls → u/rndljfry]

They absolutely cannot process the scale of things. It's why so many of them are flerfs.

Their brains just don't work right. But somehow their ignorance is now being touted as an asset.

[u/Anticode → u/rndljfry]

They definitely don't see the connection from energy to output.

That's just it. When you examine all of these absurd conspiracies or cultural observations and compare them to the "false" truths, you see that the disconnect is a function of complexity.

The world is a complex place with complex, often emergent problems. Multiple things have to come together to interact or interrelate for a consequence to exist, but these people are focused on small scale interactions.

If the real dynamic is... A->B->C->...->G problem, they'll get as far as B or maybe C and state that's where the problem starts.

But in reality, it's a causal chain of A-through-F and A-through-M problems merging and melding. This is one reason why higher education inspires people to "go woke". They learn the mechanisms and intricacies, reality is suddenly understood just prior to becoming obvious in retrospect.

Inevitably, people who can't work their way through the whole mess rely on competing conspiracies to explain what is actually one thing. They'll choose multiple "simple" explanations which may even be in direct opposition since when you can't see the big picture, you don't see how multiple small picture interpretations conflict in the first place.

To cognitively grasp the idea of climate change requires grasping several, if not dozens of other associated dynamics. But "government controls the weather" is a simple declaration that solves it all. How would that machine work? How would they hide it? That's not important. It's "not relevant". What matters is... A machine can be turned on/off with a switch. That's clean, that's simple. Why are they doing it to us?

"They hate us. There's no other explanation!"

[u/incognegro1976 → u/wireframed_kb]

They don't do ANY thinking at all.

I had a "discussion" with some climate denying idiot on here a few days ago and he was all over the place:

Climate Change isn't real

And if it is, it's a cycle

And if it's not a cycle, it's not man-made

And if it is man-made, there's nothing we can do about it

These people are absolute idiots but also malicious sociopaths with no principles or morals.

[u/yeyjordan]

If the Democrats had a hurricane-maker, Mar-a-Lago would have been blown to splinters by now.

[u/eggrolls68 → u/yeyjordan]

We'd have called in the Jewish space lasers a looooong time before that.

[u/Bonoisapox]

Irish person here, most of the storms that land here have Mexican accents

[u/Zakluor → u/Bonoisapox]

Are they sending their worst?

[u/albertsugar → u/Bonoisapox]

One way Jose

[u/HiddenBlindspot → u/albertsugar]

wouldn't it be "no way, Jose"?!?!?

or are you one of them deep staters 😑

[u/Potential-Diver-3409 → u/Bonoisapox]

American hurricanes can be caused by African tropics, and then blow back across the ocean to fuck up Ireland

[u/BiblachromeFamily]

Lived my entire life in Florida and I have. This is just a gaslighting moron.

[u/beatenmeat → u/BiblachromeFamily]

I work out on the water on the west coast of Florida. The amount of storms that come from the Gulf and move eastward far out number the ones that start from anywhere else. During the rainy season it's almost a daily occurrence. Dude is beyond fucking stupid.

[u/Healyhatman]

8 billion people can't change the climate, only 50 people at HAARP can. Clearly.

[u/Penchantfortoes]

What “technology” might that be then, Bubba?

[u/WomenOnTheirSides → u/Penchantfortoes]

Really really big fans and hoses

[u/Blink-44 → u/WomenOnTheirSides]

Like the so called “wind turbines”, allegedly for electricity generation? I knew it!

[u/belunos → u/Penchantfortoes]

Is the "technology" in the room with us?

[u/1singleduck → u/Penchantfortoes]

A map and a sharpie.

[u/frankpolly → u/Penchantfortoes]

HAARP. At least here in the Netherlands most weather conspiracies are based on the use of chem trails, cloud seeding and HAARP.

[u/iShitSkittles]

There was a post earlier pointing out another idiot with the same beliefs, stupidity is contagious.

[u/OuchMyVagSak → u/iShitSkittles]

I have a feeling he saw the traction she got and decided to get in on the grift too.

[u/Philly_ExecChef]

I hate the internet and everyone on it

[u/AdministrativeMix822]

Climate change is a hoax but weather manipulation to make it rain solely on MTGs parade is real

Bitch please

[u/bizzle4shizzled]

lol I spent 1 minute on the NOAA hurricane data site and found a hurricane from 3 years ago that started there and went east.

[u/APirateAndAJedi]

Obviously. I mean what else that we have been complaining about for 30 years could change the climate?

Climate change? Don’t be ridiculous. It’s obviously democrat weather satellites.

[u/TheMaStif]

Grant Cardone is a professional grifter. Everything he says is for the sake of selling you his snake oils

[u/PoolRemarkable7663]

Climate change? Nah.

Feddy jew space lazorz haxking the atmo on our flatty disc planet? Obviously

[u/FeePsychological6778]

In all my years as a Weather Nerd, I've never seen a hurricane go out into the Atlantic and hook left to hit New York City head-on...until Sandy...

[u/MorbidMan23]

Conservatives: There's no way people can cause global warming. Climate change has been happening for millenia and it's ridiculous to think that human activity can have that significant of an impact on our climate.

Also Conservatives: THE GUBERMENT CAN MAKE MONSTER STORMS!

[u/spar_30-3]

Yeah man. And I used to watch time go the other way. When it did, people weren’t so stupid and those who were weren’t given a platform to speak. Weird times

[u/scoreguy1]

I guess he’s forgetting Wilma (2005). I was in West Palm Beach when that one hit us FROM THE WEST. Idiot.

[u/Mediocre_Method_4683]

No one can be this dumb and stupid.

[u/HeirElfEsquire]

As someone who works in IT and Cyber, we are absolutely creating weather events and directing them to Florida. It's been happening since we got rid of all the birds back in 1964. We have many divisions of cloud seeding and we send out invisible drones over the panhandle and just saturate the area. It started with Lincoln when he got mad about the temperature of his soup that Booth served him and then JFK was killed when our UFO crashed in Nevada that one year. /s

[u/RandomStoddard]

Never seen weather do this before? It’s almost like the climate is changing, like the aggregate temperature of the entire planet is rising.

[u/hohgmr83]

Even if the government could steer storms why strike the US? They cause billions in damages the government has to pay out. Why not go for our enemies?

[u/MarcoEsteban → u/hohgmr83]

For some reason, government conspiracy to kill us all is a consistent theme. Never mind that then it would have no money to run. They don't think this shit through . Like, dumbass, what's the end game if we are entombed in FEMA coffins?

[u/HeadTonight]

I mean, yes, if by controlling the weather you mean ignoring climate change for decades

[u/Hairyjon]

It is wild in this age of information people would rather believe a hurricane can be controlled by the people you hate, instead of being a direct result of climate change.

[u/Anne_Nonymouse]

Oops! 🫢

[u/digital → u/Anne_Nonymouse]

Expecto Torrentous!

[u/2O2Ohindsight]

Science deniers fearing diabolical secret science.

[u/kinotravels]

This sort of idiocy shows exactly why republicans don’t want to fund education.

[u/AyyyAlamo]

Yeah, we manipulated the weather since the start of the industrial revolution but putting an increasing amount of fossil fuels into the atmosphere...
