That was an episode of the Outer Limits from 1963. Similarly arrogant persons have merely altered the "monster" from space invaders to plain old weather. Weather will never be totally predictable and can always be depended on to cause the occasional horrific tragedy - what we've always referred to as "an act of God'. (Imagine how lawyers will clean up, once we obliterate the concept of "an act of God". Eternal persecution!)
"The Architects of Fear" first aired on September 30, 1963.
...In the hope of staving off an apocalyptic military confrontation between nations, an idealistic group of scientists working at United Labs plans to stage a fake alien invasion of Earth in
an effort to unite all humanity against a perceived, common enemy... They draw lots, and physicist Dr. Allen Leighton is chosen to undergo radical surgical procedures that will transform him into a projected figure from a planet with a different atmosphere. Leighton's death is faked, and the bizarre series of transplants and modifications to his body proceed...
...The scientists' plan is for Dr. Leighton, as the Thetan creature equipped with an energy weapon and spaceship, to land at the
United Nations in
an effort to create initial panic. This panic, in theory, will be resolved as the world unites to fight the invader. Leighton, now a perfect simulation of an inhabitant of the planet Theta, is launched into orbit as a weather satellite, but the mission goes awry when the spaceship comes down off course and lands in a wooded area near the United Labs facility. After disintegrating their station wagon with his laser pistol, Allen is severely wounded by three duck hunters armed with shotguns as he emerges from the underbrush. In a futile attempt to possibly heal his wounds, Allen stumbles back to the lab. Yvette again feels his pain and hurries to the lab looking for her husband. She arrives as the Thetan enters and collapses to the floor. Before dying of mortal wounds, the creature demonstrates "the mark against evil", a personal gesture — touching a finger to the lips, and then to the forehead — which they once shared, and Yvette then realizes the horrifying truth that the alien is, in fact, her husband.

Pretty funny - and apt, huh? The elitists' big plan is thwarted by a couple of armed citizens.
The episode's closing narration is just as applicable to the weather "crisis".
"Scarecrows and magic and other fatal fears do not bring people closer together. There is no magic substitute for soft caring and hard work, for self-respect and mutual love. If we can learn this from the mistake these frightened men made, then their mistake will not have been merely grotesque, it would at least have been a lesson. A lesson, at last, to be learned."
Dr. Leighton is played by Robert Culp.
