705: Lying Weasels

Boston Snow Records, Vanuatu Cyclone and Climate Change

Boston officially set a new winter snowfall record of 108.6 inches, while a massive cyclone devastated the island nation of Vanuatu. The President of Vanuatu blamed climate change for the destruction, a narrative the hosts compare to the fictional plot of Michael Crichton's "State of Fear." They note the irony of Vanuatu being the specific location mentioned in Crichton's book regarding climate conferences.

They suggest this was a scripted "Ministry of Truth" injection regarding a storm that did not yet exist, potentially linked to weather modification efforts in the Gulf.
