Visible/canonical metadata says: 2,489 likes, 187 comments; posted by danewigington with geoengineeringwatch. Caption begins: “Smokemageddon: Who Profits? ‘Senators demand crackdown on wildfire prediction market bets’ (Ars Technica). ‘Blazes burning with the intensity of atomic bombs’ (MSN). Cashing in on wildfires, what could possibly go wrong?”
Caption then claims prediction markets allow financial bets on active wildfires; asks whether government could capitalize by betting because forecasts/weather/catastrophes are allegedly privatized/scheduled; cites Spokane as a study site in the 172-page U.S. military document Forest Fire As A Military Weapon; and says geoengineering is the core causal factor establishing unprecedented conditions and that atmospheric chemistry/fuel moisture/soil/incendiary dust/fallout are different.
