An MSNBC reporter was bashed online on Wednesday, when he claimed on air that the new Paris climate change agreement would stop storms like Hurricane Matthew.

Ron Allen was reporting from the White House, where President Obama spoke to the media about the agreement being ratified by the required number of nations.

When President Obama wrapped up his speech, Allen started speaking and tied the agreement to the current hurricane barreling towards Florida.

MSNBC reporter Ron Allen said the Paris climate change deal was 'designed' to stop storms like Hurricane Matthew

'It’s very interesting that this is happening on a day when there’s a hurricane bearing down on the United States and in the Caribbean because these severe storms, beach erosions, intense weather episodes that we’ve had is perhaps the most practical sample of what the president was talking about as the threat that the planet faces,' Allen said.

He went on to say that the agreement, which encourages nations to reduce their carbon emissions, 'is designed to stop' storms like Hurricane Matthew.

While the frequency and strength of hurricanes has been linked to global warming, scientists have not suggested that weather can be controlled by human action.

The comment sent Twitter users into a frenzy, ridiculing Allen for making the assumption that humans could change weather

And many right wingers who oppose the climate change agreement found Allen's assumption that the deal would stop hurricanes ridiculous.

'NBC's Ron Allen says Obama's climate change scam is designed to stop hurricanes? Another liberal "journalist" completely devoid of reality,' Twitter account @SetUSAFree wrote.
