It was confirmed that over 100 people lost their lives in a rapid flood that hit the houses and camps along the Guadalupe River in the early hours of Friday morning. Meteorologists who talked to Wired rejected the claims that the National Weather Service did not anticipate the risk of flood in Texas. But within a few hours of the tragedy of conspiracy theorists, right -wing influence and legislators pushed wild statements in social media that the floods were somehow geoyn.
“False weather. False hurricanes. False flood. False. False. False”, Kandiss Taylor, who intends to run as a GOP candidate to represent the first Congress District of Georgia in the House of Representatives, in a post that watched 2.4 million times. “It doesn’t even seem natural,” Kylie Jane Kremer, executive director of Women for America First, wrote on X, in a post that was watched 9 million times.
Because the emergency reaction to the plaintiff took place on Saturday, US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, Tweet that he will introduce the invoice for “the end of dangerous and deadly practice of weather and geoengineering.” Greene, who once blamed the fires in California for laser beams or featherlight beams combined with an electric company with alleged connections with an organization related to a powerful Jewish family, said that the law would be similar to the Senate Act 56 in Florida, which governor Ron Desantis signed the law. This Act makes weather modification a third degree crime, a penalty of up to $ 100,000. (Greene’s office did not respond to the request for comment whether her announcement was particularly related to the floods in Texas).
On Instagram, the right -wing influential Gabrielle Yoder jumped on one of the largest conspiracy theories, claiming that sowing in the cloud was responsible for causing the flood and specifically the call of Doricko.
Decicko was also named by a disgraced advisor for national security Michael Flynn on X. He wrote that “everyone who calls this conspiracy theory, maybe alone.”
Doricko told Wired that Rainmaker was working on a low cloud operation a few days before storms near the city of Runge in Texas, about 120 miles from Kerr, where the worst of the flood was concentrated. But Doricko says his meteorologists excellent High moisture content in the region. The company, he says, canceled its activities in accordance with the state regulations.
Siemia clouds – the practice of increasing rainfall in the cloud by introducing materials such as silver iodide or arid ice – was used for decades. Department of Licensing and Regulation in Texas He keeps the page On current weather modifications of irrigation districts, poviats and other groups in the state. Doricko, Rainmaker, is buzzing activation This is aimed at “[synthesize] Advanced technology with environmental management. “
Many meteorologists told Wired that there is no way that the cloud sowing was responsible for the destructive storms that aroused Texas last week.
“This is not physically possible or possible under the rights of atmospheric chemistry to cloud the seeds on a scale that would cause such an event [the Texas flooding] He has performed, “says Matt Lanza, a digital meteorologist from Houston. Lanza compares the tearing of clouds to add” icing to the dough “: he is able to eliminate rainfall from clouds in dryer areas, and not create wholesale storms from the air.
The National Weather Service has already warned last Tuesday before potential night massive rain in some parts of Texas, thanks to the moisture arriving north of Tropical Storm Barry, which brought land last weekend in Mexico.
“Meteorological ingredients [for the storm] They were already there, and the tearing of clouds could not play a role, “says Lanza.
Doricko is not foreign to the modification factions against Wear. He spent most of the beginning of this year by testifying against the swath of bills against Gaożynżynieria at the level at the level, including the one that eventually passed in Florida.
Doricko’s personal profile – he was once photographed with Bill Clinton and was chosen as a member of Thiel – it seems that the attacks on his company are easier for people looking for a plot where you can attribute a destructive storms in Texas.
“I try to be as transparent as possible because it is an extremely controversial topic, but it is not really regulated and discussed by the federal government,” says Doricko. “As a reminder, I’m not a deep plant from Bill Gates, nor Palantir, Peter Thiel, or Bill Clinton.”
