Conspiracy theories are spreading that President Joe Biden caused heavy snowfall in Texas, USA, where a massive blackout caused by a record cold wave and heavy snowfall.
According to foreign media such as Business Insider on the 22nd local time, a video of a Texas resident trying to melt a snowball with a lighter was recently posted on social media.
In the video, the snowball does not turn into water when it comes into contact with a lighter flame.
It only burns black on the outside.
“This is a fake eye created by the government and Bill Gates,” the residents who uploaded the video said, “Thank you to Bill Gates for deceiving that this is real snow.”
There are also other videos.
“The snow doesn’t melt,” said one Texas resident, using a hair dryer in the snowball.
It is fake snow because it does not turn into water even when heat is applied to the snowball.
Some netizens joined the conspiracy theory, saying, “If former President Donald Trump takes office, it will be spring again” or “I checked it myself in Texas. It’s really fake snow.”

When heat is applied to the snowball, it undergoes a sublimation process that turns into gas, and water droplets that turn into liquid are absorbed by the rest of the eye.
This is why the water does not drip.
Business Insider also explained, “Actually, all eyes react like this,” and “the hard eye turns into a gas through the process of sublimation.”
He added, “This allegation came out during a blizzard in the southern United States in 2014,” he added. “There is a false conspiracy theory on social media that President Joe Biden caused heavy snowfall in Texas.”
“This conspiracy theory is a classic example of confirmation bias,” the Independent explained, citing science authors, saying, “The darkening of the snowball is also due to the lighter component.”
