More than 100 people now have the beauty of having lost their lives in the flageing flash than the houses and the camps along the edge of the Guadalupe river in the early hours of Friday morning. Meteorologists who spoke to Wired rejected the allegations that the National Weather Service did not predict the risk of flooding in Texas. But a few hours after the tragedy, conspiracy theorists, right -wing influencers and legislators pushed wild affirmations on social networks that floods were somehow geared.
“False weather. False hurricanes. False floods. Fake. Fake,” Kandiss Taylor, who intends to present himself as GOP candidate to represent the 1st district of the Congress of Georgia in the House of Representatives, wrote 2.4 million times. “This is not a natural event,” wrote Kylie Jane Kremer, executive director of Women for America, wrote on X, in an article that has been seen 9 million times.
As the emergency response to the floods was still taking place on Saturday, the American representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, to Georgia Republican, tweeted That it would present a bill to “end the danger and the deadly practice of meteorological publishing and geoengineering”. Greene, who once blamed California forest fires with laser beams or light bundles linked to an electrical company with alleged links with a powerful Jewish family, said the bill will be similar to the bill feels 56 in Florida, which Desantis signed in June. This bill makes meteorological publishing a crime in the third degree, liable to a maximum of $ 100,000. (Greene’s office did not resume a request for comments on the place where his nortense was specifically linked to the floods in Texas.)
On Instagram, the right -wing influencer, Gabrielle Youd, jumped on one of the greatest conspiracy theories, claiming that the seeding of the clouds was responsible for provoking floods and calling Doricko specifically.
The company GCKOS has also been appointed by the former national security advisor Discond Michael Flynn on X. He wrote that “anyone who calls it as a conspiracy theory can go themselves”.
Doricko told Wired that Rainmaker was working on a brief cloud of clouds a few days before storms near the city of Runge, Texas, about 120 miles from Kerr County, where the worst flood was concentrated. But Doricko says that his staff meteorologists note A high -moisture content in the region. The company, Heys, canceled its operations, for state regulations.
The sowing of clouds – the practice of precipitation of the increase in the clouds by introducing materials such as silver iodide or dry ice – has been used for decades. The Department of Texas of Licenses and Regulations Keeps page On the current efforts of the meteorological publishing of irrigation districts, counties and other groups of the state. Doricko’s company, Rainmaker, is a buzzy to start up Which aims at “[synthesize] Advanced technology with environmental management. “”
Several meteorologists told Wired that there was no way that the sowing of the clouds was responsible for the devastating storms that raged Texas last week.
“It is not physically possible or possible with the laws of atmospheric chemistry to cloud seeds on a scale that would cause an event like [the Texas flooding] For Occhur “, explains Matt Lanza, a digital meteorologist based in Houston. Lanza compares the seeding in clouds to add” frosting to a cake “: he is able to make precipitation from clouds in the drier areas, and not to create large storms from the thin air.
The National Weather Service already warns last Tuesday about potential night showers in certain parts of Texas, thanks to humidity coming to the north of Tropical Storm Barry, which led to the earth last weekend in Mexico.
“Meteorological ingredients [for the storm] Were already there, and the seeding of the clouds could not have played in the role, “says Lanza.
Doricko is not foreigners to anti-Garden Modctions. Il a passé une grande partie du début de la moitié de cette année à témoigner contre une bande de factures anti-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo-géo, y compris celle qui est possible en Floride.
The personal profile of Doricko – He was photographed once with Bill Clinton and was chosen as Thiel scholarship holder – seems to have facilitated the attack on his business for those looking for a plot on which to pin the devastating storms in Texas.
“I try to be as transparent as possible, because it is an incredibly litigious material, but is not as regulated and of discussion transparently as that of the federal government,” explains Doricko. “Just for the record, I am not a deep state of Bill Gates or Palantir, Peter Thiel or Bill Clinton.”
