Meteorologists say they’ve been getting death threats for debunking wild conspiracy theories that they and the government are somehow behind the devastating hurricanes ravaging the US.
“Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes,” Katie Nickolaou, a Michigan-based meteorologist, wrote on X earlier this week alongside a screenshot of one threat she’d received.
“I can’t believe I just had to type that.”
The post aimed at Nickolaou, who works at the WLNS TV station, had called for others to “stop the breathing of those that made them and their affiliates.”
Meanwhile, Washington, DC-based meteorologist Matthew Cappucci said he has received hundreds of messages from people accusing him of modifying the weather to create hurricanes with space lasers.
“For me to post a hurricane forecast and for people to accuse me of creating the hurricane by working for some secret Illuminati entity is disappointing and distressing — and it’s resulting in a decrease in public trust,” Cappucci told Rolling Stone.
And veteran Alabama meteorologist James Spann said he too has faced a barrage of threats warning him: “Stop lying about the government controlling the weather or else.”

bald lies. I bet this DC based weatherman does not receive two letters per week, if that. In his dreams he gets “hundreds of letters”
I could never defend meteorologists. Simply for the fact they blow smoke everyday. If I were wrong everyday I’d be let go. But not meteorologists they will still get a 6 figure (at least) salary.
But for the bigger reason, they do overhype the weather in general. And now denying government meddling in weather manipulation for control and power. For election meddling. It’s reasonable to believe that meteorologists employed by the “weather channel” and the like being subsidized by government state T.V. would/will cooperate with the scheme and attempt to cover it up.
Sadly the more ignorant people are about science the more likely they buy into wild conspiracy theories.
I have a good friend who never finished HS. He believes in:
Flat earth
Weather contrails (Gov putting chemicals in to do “x-y-Z” to people)
Weather control
…did I mention flat earth?
Why are meteorologists defending the government anyway? 🤔
That is suspicious behavior. Much like msmedia talking heads they are not as they appear.
It’s very suspicious, you’re right. The vast majority of meteorologists and climatologists have bought into the climate change scam just so they could keep their government funding.
Very.
Obviously.
When you’re a global warming mouthpiece for a lying government you have to expect some hate in return.
“Weather contrails”
This one is emerging as true to some degree.
Obviously the “usually wrong” meteorologists and weather prognosticators are yelling “misinformation” and saying they get threats. Generally, they are overpaid and do exaggerate for effect. They are an embarrassment to reality.
Eff up our lives with their Doppler bull crap. ‘OH, there’s a depression off the horn of Africa you better buy extra tissue, water, food, supplies! It strengthened into a tropical depression near Cuba board your houses up folks, charge that phone too!! OMG it’s gonna be the largest cyclone in history ever get out!! We have 7 spaghetti paths straight over your house!!! Uh it’s slowed to a tropical depression when it hit land. Don’t forget your umbrella.’
95% of the time.
That said, here are a few reasons why we feel the weather-media et al are full of it:
and yet, the gubmint hands out patents for inventions to control the weather.

Yup, fake news narrative, deployed
You need to move away from pretty republic every now and then. You’re way behind on the times.
I trust weatherbell
Above, Saturday summary. Skip the intro, go to 2 minute mark. Climate change-nonsense. Changing a hurracaine path-nonsense. Yes, our gubmint works on weather modification
Exactly!
The stupidity and ignorance of those crazies is mind-numbing.
