I think I see where you're coming from, but if we're using them to predict hurricanes, it's likely just meteorological data arbitrage. All else seems like random chance; hardly an example of an oracle.

Fire bug

Dynamite the fault

Crazy, but, hear me out: mirrors in space warming the Atlantic, mirrors in Africa warming the atmosphere ("solar power"), Trump wanting to nuke a hurricane, etc.

Pandemic? Go harvest bats and put them in a cage with chickens. You don't even need a molecular bio lab.

Stock market crash? Bombs. Terrorist attacks.

Energy prices? Derail a train carrying fuel cars. Bonus points if it's in a major metro and has a blast radius. Or, I dunno, start a war with Iran.

This could get really bad.
