Atlanta Storm Was a Government Conspiracy? Snow Way!

By Phil Plait

Plait is their "Bad Astronomy" columnist, their go-to guy for debunking scientific crap. He's, of course, opposing this theory.

Seems that the Atlanta snow wasn't REAL snow, frozen water. It was something else, a secret plan by NASA, to dump chemicals, or nanobots or something else. The stuff supposedly doesn't melt, but turns into sooty black ick.

Probably a dolphin hugger stunt ordered by Obama.

Yah, sure, you betcha...

E-T-A: there's supposed to be a bunch of vids on YouTube to prove all this. Somebody cue Adam and Jamie...

Phil Plait is a noted liberal climate-change believer, so obviously nothing he says can be trusted. ;)

How do you get a nun pregnant?

Dress her as an altarboy.

What's black and white and red all over and can't go through a revolving door?

A nun with a spear through her head.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

LOVE the pic. A picture, worth many, many words.

Oh lord. Snow gets dirty when it's on the ground and when the snow plows come through it gets overturned so the dirt's on top. Wow, it turned into black sludge, it's a conspiracy.

Phil appears to cover the rest of the argument.

He also believes in a round Earth, that Neil Armstong walked on the Moon, and in evolution. Doesn't sound like a good right wing American Republican Christian and Tea Bagger.

I just watched one, from a fellow who referred to himself as a "Red pill guy."

I had to laugh.

"Goram it kid, let's frak this thing and go home! Engage!"

America loves a winner!

1st I'm hearing of this " conspiracy ", so I have to wonder how legitimate this claim is actually.

Point of fact - Making snowballs was next to impossible. The snow was too dry. Very powdery. You'd have as much chance making a ball out of dry sand as w/ the stuff that fell here in Atlanta. At least, in my part of town. I tried to find the links Phil was talking about, which apparently showed the origins of these claims, but no luck. I think Phil may have been had, but folks who were just bored, and making crap up.

ETA - Judging from a few vids I saw on YouTube, me thinks a certain segment of our society is having a bit of fun w/ this stuff. Kinda like the , well, here...

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.
