Meteorologists hit with death threats after debunking hurricane conspiracy theories
Meteorologists say they’ve been getting death threats for debunking wild conspiracy theories that they and the government are somehow behind the devastating hurricanes ravaging the US.
“Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes,” Katie Nickolaou, a Michigan-based meteorologist, wrote on X earlier this week alongside a screenshot of one threat she’d received.
The post aimed at Nickolaou, who works at the WLNS TV station, had called for others to “stop the breathing of those that made them and their affiliates.”
Meanwhile, Washington, DC-based meteorologist Matthew Cappucci said he has received hundreds of messages from people accusing him of modifying the weather to create hurricanes with space lasers.
And veteran Alabama meteorologist James Spann said he too has faced a barrage of threats warning him: “Stop lying about the government controlling the weather or else.”
The conspiracy theories have picked up steam after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared to suggest the spate of ferocious storms — with Hurricane Helene quickly followed this week by Hurricane Milton — were controlled events.
“Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done,” she wrote last week in a post now seen 43.5 million times.

I'm out of words. How many times can you point out how cartoonishly stupid Republicans are before it makes a difference? Windmills cause cancer, Jewish Space Lasers...how can they have any influence in this world?
Death threats to meteorologists? Meteorologists? Accusations of creating "category 6" hurricanes to destroy conservative towns?
How can anyone be not feel like an imbecile being part of human waste like this?
@vivify saidIt's the lizard people, I tell ya, THEY control the weather, not the Dems.

@shavixmir saidThe dumbing down of America. Scary, isn't it? Those people give automatic weapons to school children, and could give nuclear codes to a delusional con man (again).
My God.
Those maga types really give stupid a bad name.

@moonbus saidYou’d think, “once bitten, twice shy”, wouldn’t you?🤔

@Great-Big-Stees saidIn this case, I think it’s more like “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”
