Federal forecasters have been forced to deny they control the weather after Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others spread misinformation online.
The conspiracy spread by Greene cited information shared on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s website. She repeatedly claimed earlier this month that “they” and the government were manipulating and controlling the weather and referenced a page about weather modification. Her comments drew a swift rebuke from President Joe Biden, who said the congresswoman’s comments were “beyond ridiculous” and “so stupid.”
