In that, I am entirely in agreement with the recent assertion made by Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is utterly correct in her statement. "They" do control the weather.
It begs two questions, though. Who are the "they" that control the weather, and how do they do it? Fortunately, we know the answers to both of those questions.
They? There is a "they," a vast global cabal. That conspiracy goes all the way up to the highest levels, and it's one that includes a significant number of co-conspirators. Powerful, wealthy individuals, corrupt politicians, multinational corporations, and state actors, all committed to directly causing events like the catastrophic damage to the American South. I've got many fond memories of childhood visits to Georgia, where my grandparents lived and my Mom grew up, so I feel the damage in that state personally. So who are "they?"
Here, a slight aside. When people whisper that a nebulous, nefarious "they" do this or "they" do that, typically what those people actually mean is: "I do this. I do that." As a pastor who has had the pleasure of dealing with toxic souls in the church, I understand this as a fundamental principle of human behavior. So from that, there's a very simple answer:
They are Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I'm reasonably sure that's not her pronoun choice, so I'll say, instead: She controls the weather. Of course she does, and you'd have to be a fool to deny it. That comes with a significant caveat: She's not alone in doing so. She speaks for hundreds of millions of other human beings who share her worldview, who are willfully working together to destroy towns, devastate farms, and tear homes from their foundations.
How, you may ask, do she and her co-conspirators do this?
Weather's a finicky thing, complex and chaotic and hard to direct. But you can change the climate by acting broadly on the whole system. If you want more powerful hurricanes and more terrible floods, you need to add energy and moisture to the entire ecosystem. This requires an amount of power that's hard to produce, even with the use of space lasers, but scientists agree there's one way to do it.
The most efficient way to do this is to add carbon to our atmosphere, which captures the energy of our sun, heating the entire world. We've known this for decades, and the science is clear. The warmer world that results from that action can be expected to produce more events like the ones that devastated countless tiny little hamlets nestled in the North Carolina woods and ruined the homes and harvests of countless Georgia farmers.
So, yes, Marjorie. You're dead on. Absolutely.
And please do stop.
