HAARP and climate change deniers. On KO's "Countdown" this morning, he

was talking about looney laura loomer and her HAARP diatribe. (For those who have not yet encountered this insanity, in the simplest terms, the HAARP program studies the ionosphere, and is based at the Univ. of Alaska). The loonies have insisted for years that it is a program that controls the weather. KO pointed out that the same people who deny climate change, who insist that humans can do nothing to alter it, are pretty much the same people who believe that HAARP manipulates the weather. (I should probably stop listening at 3 am, I scared my kitty!) Then he said that, if President Buden really controlled this system, wouldn't he have sent rain to end the wildfires, etc.?

We all know that consistency and logic are not in the rwnj's purview, but it is nice to have something so obvious pointed out.

I understand what it is and how it works, so the loony stuff is pretty funny to me. By the way, they feel the same way about the Nexrad weather radar operated by the National Weather Service.
