Texas Floods Reason: Recent disastrous floods in the state of Texas, USA killed more than 100 people. Many people are still missing. But in the midst of this tragedy, some groups are calling it a ‘natural disaster’ on social media, but ‘man-made destruction’. And from this, a sensational theory starts- ‘Weather War’ means attacking the weather as weapons.
The root of this theory is ‘cloud seeding’. That is, to make rains mixed with chemicals (eg silver iodide or dry ice) in clouds. People associated with the ideology of the right-side and members of the Q-Anon community are saying that this was the real reason for the flood. Former Special Force Commander Pete Chambers questioned, ‘When was the last cloud seeding?’
Former NSA officer of Trump administration Michael Flyn wrote, ‘Can anyone tell, who did this?’ Even the famous Republican MP Marjari Taylor Green announced to bring a bill, in which the attempt to change the weather will be considered a crime by leaving any kind of chemicals in the atmosphere.
Some people gave it even more serious form. Michael Mayor, the founder of a extremist group ‘Veterans On Patrol’, wrote, ‘Texas has been attacked by Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather Weather. This is treason. On the other hand, the director of the women’s organization ‘Women for America First’ described this flood as ‘fake’. Gop’s potential candidate Candis Taylor said, ‘Fake flood, fake storm… all are fake!’
These claims have been rejected by scientists. Houston’s meteorologist Matt Lanja says, ‘Such a big flood is not possible due to cloud seeding. The already existing meteorological conditions were responsible for this catastrophe. Founder Dorico, founder of a cloud seeding company called Rainmaker, said, “We are not a deep state plant, nor are we connected to Bill Gates or CIA.” We are in favor of transparency.
Republican Senator Ted Cruise also broke the silence in this debate. He said, ‘There is no scientific basis for such things. People spread strange things on social media. At the same time, some people from the Democrats wrote in a satire, ‘All this is the result of the Funding cut of the Trump government!’ But experts also called this claim wrong.
Daniel Swen, a climate scientist at the University of California, said, “Flood was predicted, and a warning was also issued 1-2 hours ago. But the problem is that this warning did not reach the people on time. According to newsguard data, false news about this flood was spread from both sides. Whether it is weather weapon or political conspiracies.
