“I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico. Been watching storms since I was a young boy. I have NEVER seen a storm start here and go east,” Cardone posted with a picture of Milton’s forecast path toward Florida. “Do you think Gov’t is using technology to manipulate weather patterns & storms?”
Chemtrails? I thought the high tech used for controlling storms is a Sharpie.
Oh, I have no doubt he’s watched them quite closely. What I doubt is he knows East from West any better than he knows his head from a hole in the ground.
It would always be raining on his golf courses and there would be a little storm cloud over his head at all times like the angry comic-strip character that he is.
We’ve “controlled the weather” by releasing unprecedented amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere thousands of times more quickly that it’s ever been done in the past 64 million years.
In this post, mostly about abortion, Heather Cox Richardson closes with comments from meteorologist John Morales about the change that really bothers him, and it’s not climate change.
Hurricane Milton spurred meteorologist John Morales to step forward to take a stand, sharing his thoughts after Hurricane Helene hit. “Something’s shifted,” he wrote. “And it’s not just the climate.” He noted that with Helene on the way, “I did what I’ve done during my entire 40 year career—I tried to warn people. Except that the warning was not well received by everyone. A person accused me of being a ‘climate militant,’ a suggestion that I’m embellishing extreme weather threats to drive an agenda. Another simply said that my predictions were ‘an exaggeration.’
“But it wasn’t an exaggeration,” he wrote.
“For decades I had felt in control. Not in control of the weather, of course. But in control of the message that, if my audience was prepared and well informed, I could confidently guide them through any weather threat, and we’d all make it through safely…. But no one can hide from the truth. Extreme weather events, including hurricanes, are becoming more extreme. I must communicate the growing threats from the climate crisis come hell or high water—pun intended.”
The mayor of Tampa has flat out said that anyone who stays in an evacuation area will die. Yet apparently, many are not leaving.
Maybe this will teach their next of kin that there is such a thing as reality.
Florida officials are asking persons who do choose to ride it out to write their name and the phone number of a family member on themself so that their body can be easily identified and next of kin notified.
