Hurricane Irma, a powerful category 5 hurricane with 180 mph winds, is expected to hammer Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and Cuba before taking aim on south Florida this weekend. It's wonderful that we have the weather professionals, the technology and the first responders to help cope with this. We also have hate radio's large infected pustule Rush "Limpballs" Limbaugh to give us his, uh, novel theory of weather events and the media's role in advance warning. Read and be gobsmacked:
"Well, the TV stations begin reporting this and the panic begins to increase. And then people end up going to various stores to stock up on water and whatever they might need for home repairs and batteries and all this that they’re advised to get, and a vicious circle is created. You have these various retail outlets who spend a lot of advertising dollars with the local media. The local media, in turn, reports in such a way as to create the panic way far out, which sends people into these stores to fill up with water and to fill up with batteries, and it becomes a never-ending repeated cycle."Limpballs sees all of this panic as an attempt by the deep state / the media / businesses to promote belief in climate change:
So there is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it. You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don’t even need a hurricane to hit anywhere. All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent, and bigger, and more dangerous, and you create the panic, and it’s mission accomplished, agenda advanced.We know that Limpballs views the world through his glass belly button, but to explain away 100-year floods happening every few years, or to dismiss basic scientific knowledge about the climate as a conspiracy by the media and business to sell batteries and bottled water is batshit crazy even for Oxycontin-addled Limpballs. Typical, but still batshit crazy.
