As Hurricane Milton threatens catastrophic damage in Florida, the Georgia Republican suggested on X that such storms could be engineered by humans.

As Hurricane Milton threatens catastrophic damage in Florida, the Georgia Republican suggested on X that such storms could be engineered by humans.

As President Joe Biden delivered a stark warning Wednesday about the dangerous hurricane barreling toward Florida, he shot down misinformation about the storm, including one particular conspiracy theory propagated by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather, we’re controlling the weather. It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s so stupid. It’s got to stop,” Biden said in televised remarks at the White House.

    The Whitehouse needs a competent and derisive science explainer. Someone that can explain in simple terms the amount of force you’d need to stop a hurricane compared to the entire arsenal of WMDs on the planet, and how stupid the conspiracies are.

    Make the village idiots feel like idiots again. Not empowered outside the box thinkers.

      I vote Randall Monroe or Derek from Veritasium. Although I would not wish the nonsense that would come with being in a government cabinet position on either of them.
