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.

It’s just the hypocrisy of it all. If you believe we can create storms and steer them at people, then you must believe that humans can alter the environment.
You cannot hold both of the beliefs I mentioned without being a brainwashed moron.
Well, to be fair, you can’t hold any one of those beliefs singularly and also not be a moron, but believing both of those things at the same time makes someone a double-moron.
Yeah, that’s fair.
