Is the claim that the left controls the weather patterns.

My point was simply to point out the hypocrisy here. When a climate denier says, it's cold today so climate change isn't happening, we mock them for not understanding. This meme is making that same mistake.

Being able to cause a stronger than normal hurricane does not mean one is capable of controlling the climate.

Micro vs macro.

Memes like this and the endless defense of them have broken any illusions I had that the left is significantly more intelligent than the right.

It's a team circle jerk that is aggressively defended because the self pleasure is more important than the messaging.
