Super Typhoon Mangkhut and Hiroshima Memes

Super Typhoon Mangkhut's impact on the Philippines is reported with sensationalist headlines comparing its power to 500,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs. This specific comparison is identified as a recurring meme used by Al Gore and climate change activists to describe heat energy trapped in the atmosphere. The hosts note the use of "Hiroshima-class bombs" as a standardized unit of measurement in environmental alarmism.

Typhoon Mangkhut and Global Weather Reporting

The hosts compare the coverage of Hurricane Florence to Typhoon Mangkhut, a massive storm that struck the Philippines and Hong Kong with 200 mph winds. They argue that U.S. media downplayed the much stronger Pacific typhoon because it could not be used to criticize the Trump administration. Clips illustrate the disparity in reporting intensity between the two global weather events.
