Listen "Hurricane Hacking: Can We Control the Weather?"
Episode Synopsis
Online rumors and misinformation have run rampant after the devastation from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Among the wildest conspiracy theories is the claim that the US government has been "creating" hurricanes and "weaponizing" them against the public. The head administrator at FEMA recently said that the dangerous Hurricane Helene misinformation has been "absolutely the worst that I have ever seen," culminating in an armed militia making threats against FEMA rescue workers. In this week's episode, we'll be debunking some of the most dangerous conspiracy theories with experts who have studied hurricanes and the theory behind hurricane hacking - which they've learned first-hand does not work. My guests include Dr. Hugh Willoughby (who led NOAA's Hurricane Research Division), Professor Moshe Alamaro (retired MIT atmospheric scientist), and meteorologist Ed Piotrowski. You won't want to miss these eye-opening conversations that set the record straight about weather modification!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
