    1. > But among those who deny the existence of climate change, an alternative theory has been gaining momentum. It alleges that the government is supposedly controlling both weather and climate for sinister purposes.

      And when you ask them about these sinister purposes / ulterior motives they shout and tell you to `Google it!™️`

      The article shows a tweet in which OP takes a pic of the clouds and says they are fake clouds. These people are honestly dumb beyond belief. Climate change is real and it is an absolute fact that

      Ya’d be surprised (or not) the number of outwardly perfectly normal-sounding people believe in stuff like this. This and UFOs being everywhere.

      God these people are such fucking idiots.

      There was one who posted a screen grab of flight radar the other day, showed a plane that had gone backwards and forwards in a grid pattern.

      A quick Google showed that the plane was a tiny 2 engined beechcraft, registered to an aerial survey company that was taking photos.

      Literally every comment on any met office social media post is about this.

      They get quite sassy replying sometimes so it’s fairly amusing on one level, but totally terrifying on another.

      Amazes me, how some people will deny Humanity can alter the climate through pumping out billions of tonnes of CO2, yet will claim the government is controlling both weather and climate for sinister purposes through geo-engineering.

      Ah yes the climate skeptic argument that human activity is minimal in comparison to natural changes.

      Unless of course the government is behind it, then we suddenly have the power to alter the world at will

      So geo engineering & cloud seeding have been funded by the UK goverment since the 1950’s yet we’ve seen many people deemed conspiracy theorists if they talk of any thing closely related to geo engineering.

      Now the good old bbc decides these things exist.

      Remember the bbc left it a bit late to also decide jimmy saville was a sex offender of the worst kind,

      integrity only matters later on right ?

      trust the bbc as a reliable news source right ?

      Saw someone saying that if you leave vinegar outside you can help dispel the chemtrails 🤯 same people that don’t believe in global warming as weather ain’t changed, believe ‘they’ are changing the weather.
