Conspiracy theories around Texas floods lead to death threats

More than 100 people have now been confirmed that they had lost their lives in the floods that struck homes and camps along the edge of the Guadalobi River in the early hours of Friday morning. Meteorologists who spoke to WIRED rejected the allegations that national weather service failed to accurately predict the danger of floods in Texas. But within hours of the tragedy, the theorists, right -wing influencers and legislators were paying ground demands on social media that the floods were a geographical engineer in one way or another.

Kandiss Taylor, who intends to run as a candidate for the Republican Party to represent the first Congress region in Georgia in the House of Representatives, wrote in his post, wrote as 2.4 million times. “This does not seem natural,” wrote Kylie Jin Kramer, Executive Director of Women for America First, in a 9 million -time publication.

Since the emergency response to the floods was still taking place on Saturday, American actor Margori Taylor Green, Republican in Georgia, Tweet It will submit a bill “to end the dangerous and deadly practice of modifying weather and geological engineering.” Green, who blamed California’s fires for laser symptoms or light beams connected to an electric company with alleged links with a strong Jewish family organization, said that the draft law will be similar to the Senate Bill in Florida, which was signed by Governor Ron Desantis in June. This bill makes the weather amendment a third degree felony, punishable by up to $ 100,000. (Green’s office did not respond to the request to comment on whether its advertisement is specifically linked to the floods in Texas.)

On Instagram, the right -wing influencer Gabriel Jabeer jumped on one of the largest conspiracy theories, claiming that cloud sowing was responsible for causing floods and inviting Dorico specifically.

Docicko was also named by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on X. He wrote that “anyone called this as a conspiracy theory that can follow himself.”

Durico told Rainmaker that he was working in a short cloud of seeds a few days before storms near the city of Rang, Texas, about 120 miles from Kiir Province, where the worst floods focus. But Doriko says meteorologists male Some high humidity content in the region. He says that the company canceled its operations, according to the state regulations.

The cloud sowing – the practice of increased precipitation in a cloud by inserting materials such as silver or dry ice – was used for decades. The Ministry of Licensing and Organization in Texas Maintains a page In efforts to adjust the current weather from irrigation areas, provinces and other groups in the state. Dorikko, Rainmaker, noisy Starting This aims to “(combine) advanced technology with environmental supervision.”

Many WIRED meteorologists told that there is no way because cloud sowing was responsible for the destroyed storms that were subjected to Texas last week.

“It is not possible physically or possible in air chemistry laws to cause an event like (Texas flood),” says Matt Lanza, Houston Digital Meteorological Specialist. Lanza compares cloud sowing by adding “ice to a cake”: it is able to increase the rainfall of clouds in the dry areas, and does not create wholesale storms from the air.

The national weather service was already warning early last Tuesday about possible night rains in parts of Texas, thanks to the moisture that comes north of the tropical storm Barry, which achieved land at the end of last week in Mexico.

“The meteorological components (for the storm) were already present, and cloud sowing could not play a role,” says Lanza.

Dorico is not alien to antibiotic modification factions. Most of the first half of this year spent a testimony against a group of state engineering bills, including those that eventually passed in Florida.

The DORICKO profile – which was once photographed with Bill Clinton and was chosen as Thiel – to make attacks on his company easier for those looking for a plot to install destroyed storms in Texas.

“I try to be as transparent as possible, because this is an incredibly controversial issue, but it is not actually organized and discussed it transparently as it should be by the federal government,” Doriko says. “Only to the record, I am not a deep factory from Bill Gates or Balnter, Peter Thil or Bill Clinton.”
