A rapid attribution study recently concluded that record-breaking ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico, which helped Hurricane Helene to “spin up”, were made 200-500 times more likely because of human-caused climate change.

“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,” says Cappucci. He says he hasn’t slept in multiple days and is exhausted. This past week he received hundreds of messages from people accusing him of modifying the weather and creating hurricanes from space lasers.
“Ignorance is becoming socially acceptable. Forty or 50 years ago, if I told you I thought the moon was pretend, people would have laughed at me. Now, people are bonding over these incredibly fringe viewpoints.” -

“People are just so far gone, it’s honestly making me lose all faith in humanity,” says Washington D.C.-based meteorologist Matthew Cappucci, in a phone interview conducted while he was traveling down to Florida for the storm. “There’s so much bad information floating around out there that the good information has become obscured.”
Cappucci says that he’s noticed an enormous change on social media in the last three months: “Seemingly overnight, ideas that once would have been ridiculed as very fringe, outlandish viewpoints are suddenly becoming mainstream and it’s making my job much more difficult.” -

Misinformation is not uncommon after a disaster. But as climate change brings more weather disasters to communities across the U.S., could the rampant spread of misinformation harm disaster response and prevent survivors from getting the support they need?

Well, of course it "mirrors", because they all get their billions in funding from the same source: the US Government. And if they "get it wrong", they lose their funding. We're dealing with heavily biased, non-independent actors here, and they're all reading from the same script. Basically, what they want is you to just go ahead and take their word for their "findings", based on "credibility" they don't actually have. Government lackeys aren't real scientists, they're political spin doctors for profit.
