So much this!!! When I first heard some of the preposterous claims about "man made hurricanes", I shrugged it off to people wanting some attention and saying crazy shirt. Then I saw more and more of it. People I know. Educated folks. That's when it hit me......we're screwed.
I shared a meteorologist's post about how it impossible for man to create and steer hurricanes. It was well written and detailed. I pretty much said "stop with the nonsense - here's the science". Well, to my surprise, more people commented in favor of the conspiracy theory than agreed it can't be done. Several were college educated and some I (used to) respect. I was totally caught off guard. I had no idea smart, educated people could fall for this type stuff. I'm still in disbelief.
Look, if you want to believe Oswald wasn't the lone gunman behind the JFK assassination, I can understand that. That particular conspiracy theory has a lot of angles and layers. It's plausible to think other actors were in play. It's not pie in the sky, per se. Creating hurricanes and steering them to certain areas of your own country for nefarious reasons is forking crazy talk. It's so far out there, it seems impossible anyone would buy it.....much less a large group of people. Many of which are normal, educated citizens. I'm floored. I don't know how to feel about this.
