Dear Donald,
Hurricane Harvey could be your defining moment; the moment that changes your presidency from the chaotic mess of threats, bitterness and bilious paranoia to one of rationality and reasonableness.
You, sir, could be the President that saves the planet.
There is no denying that our weather is getting more severe, that the oceans are rising, the Arctic ice is melting and hurricanes are wreaking ever-more havoc each time one pummels another part of the country.
Harvey has officially brought the most destructive rainfall in our nations history more than 51 inches in some areas of Houston. As many as 42,399 humans are in shelters.
Yet in the face of all this, you, Mr. President, have chosen to nominate a climate change-denying partisan politician, Republican Rep. Jim Bridenstine, to head NASA. How can you even think of such a man.
As this planet heats up, we have to look to space. That wont be done if the man heading NASA denies the science and looks down on the truth of whats happening in our atmosphere.
Mr. Trump, when you met with clergy the other day, you declared today a day of prayer for the victims of Harvey. And thats good we need more God and less greed.
But God wont save this planet that were so busy wrecking without our help. Remember that thing about how God helps those who help themselves?
Help us to help ourselves by denying the climate change-denier his place in space.

Oh' never mind...
Might as well stare at the wall...
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
I know it was unintentional on your part, but you adopted the language of the left....
There is no man-made climate change...
Might as well say climate change was caused by the moon turning to cheese...
Of course, but that won’t stop them. Being a self-identified liberal is a religion for them.
Bridensein is a great choice. He term limited himself in the house. And kept his word
Al Gore is tossing you out of the global warming church
There is a guaranteed way to eliminate hurricane damage to private property. Abandon development in areas likely to experience hurricanes and the costs will disappear. Until then, measuring hurricane damage by comparing monetary repairs is a way the extremists can "prove" their narrative that GW is creating increasingly destructive hurricanes.
Was Camille (1969) caused by "cllmate change"?
Was the Great New England Hurricane (1938) caused by "climate change"?
Was the Galveston Hurricane (1900) caused by "climate change"?
When I was a kid on Long Island, there were 10 hurricanes between 1954-1964, two of which rearranged the barrier islands and created new inlets while destroying old ones. Since then, there have been two. Is that "climate change"?
Hurricanes & other severe storms come & go in their frequency & severity,but the lunatics seem to be forever with us. Some of you will remember the awful blizzard of 1949. I don’t recall anyone at the time suggesting it was “man-caused climate change” or suggesting that we could do anything about changing it......but to dig out afterwards.
Where’s the proof that global warming caused Harvey, or that global warming is man-caused? I’m still waiting!!
...After a devastating hurricane, Trump still picks a climate change denier to head NASA...
And???
“....man made climate change..”. Ooops you said it again. LOL! I remember some of my NASA buddies reaction when Bolden got the job. Lots of head shaking going on. Besides which, to a lot of us, being a denier is a plus. Of course from the nyt it just another case that Trump is racist. Or something.
...You, sir, could be the President that saves the planet..
I thought Obama did that. Didn’t the sea levels fall on his inauguration. Day?
“””hurricanes are wreaking ever-more havoc”””
Yes, a hurricane in 2017 will probably wreak more havoc than a hurricane in 1950 did.
But, the increased havoc is the result of new, fancy, and expensive buildings that have been constructed along the East Coast and Gulf Coast of the USA.
In 1950 many people built homes on the barrier islands of Florida. But those 1950 homes were cheaply built because the owner fully expected a hurricane would eventually blow the building down or flood.
Trump has made an error here—the administrator of Never A Straight Answer has a duty to lie, lie, lie...and we should be glad the New York Times is demanding this practice continue. ;-)
ROFL!!!!
That’s exactly right. The only global warming argument is that there may be a few percent more rain with warming. Instead the alarmists are arguing that stalling has something to do with warming, but that is not correct.
Headline is another strong entry in the annual Non-Sequitur of the Year competition. :)
There’s enough smug presumption in the headline to fill every pot and pan in Aspen.
The most expensive hurricane ever was Miami, 1926. I think the most expensive flood ever was the Great Flood of 1951 in Kansas, although I'm not sure. Flood costs are normalized to GDP and the Miami costs are normalized for insured value.
