The victims of Hurricane Harvey have a murderer - and it’s not the storm.
The horrors hurled at Houston and the Himalayan lowlands in late August were heartbreaking - but also infuriating. How many times must we see this disaster movie - titled Hurricane Harvey in 2017 - before we intervene and change the ending? And how long before we hold the ultimate authors of such climate catastrophes accountable for the miseries they inflict?
What makes this so infuriating is that it shouldn’t be happening. Experts have warned for decades that global warming would increase these sorts of weather extremes and that people would suffer and die if protective measures were not implemented.
Yet Donald Trump and other powerful know-nothings in Washington seem perversely determined to ignore the lessons of Harvey, while doubling down on making things worse. Trump has crammed his administration full of climate-change deniers while pushing full steam ahead on more oil, gas, and coal production.
It is past time to call out Trump and all climate deniers for this crime against humanity. No more treating climate denial like an honest difference of opinion.
Now, the individuals and institutions pushing climate denial must be called out with even greater vigor.
The first step toward justice is to call things by their true names. Murder is murder, whether the murderers admit it or not. Punish it as such, or we encourage more of the same.

All of a sudden a bunch of northern liberals want to migrate to hurricane prone areas. Hurricanes? IT HAS TO BE SOMEBODY'S FAULT!!! No, cupcake. The hurricanes have been around for thousands of years. Suck it up and face reality.
The only thing these “liberals” are actually liberal with, is lies!!
He sounds like he is mad at God?
Ignore the immediately past 11 years with no major hurricanes. It didn’t happen, wipe it from your memory.
Or, if it actually did happen, it itself was an “extreme” event that the scientists were predicting.
Either way, tax us trillions to fix it.

See how this works?
If the Left perceives anyone as a Nazi, or White Supremist,(regardless of whether this is true or not) or pretty much anyone who disagrees with them, it’s okay to punch or instigate violence toward them. The corrupt MSM agrees with this.
Now we have anyone who disagrees with Globull warming as those akin to committing murder. Soon, with Liberals in control, it will be totally acceptable to lock up or kill any “climate deniers”.
The Left is very good at vilifying those who disagree with them. Similarly, Pol Pot vilified almost anyone who wore glasses in Cambodia and initiated the killing fields, with the masses on some level participating in killing others.
The evil Left never changes.
Climatenazis are traitors.
Or thinks that God is mad at our puny fires? (If so, can’t prove that by the bible.)
You slander all science deniers and total flaming idiots when you compare them to this Mark Hertsgaard. Not merely ignorant, but WILLFULLY ignorant, and you are not going to be able to make much of a change. In fact, if confronted, this individual would simply double down on the idiocy and raise you ten.
Hard to stay in with a bid like that, but there comes a time for show.
Or lay a .44 on the table.
Man, that’s a good hand.
My fellow islanders!!! Listen to me! The reason the hurricane knocked out our village and not any of the others on other islands in the world, is because we didn’t listen to the Goddess Muputu! She asked for sacrifice to the Coconut gods! To the gods of the waves! And you didn’t listen, villagers! And people died!
You must give of your stores to the gods and goddesses each morning sun! Or Muputu will come back with her storms and claim more lives!! Listen to me! I have seen many moons! I know this! These hurricanes are our fault!
State a truism, then try to tie it to something supremely irrelevant.
so give all your money to Algore and watch him fix it ,LOL
Everybody dies. Whats the big deal?
Hysteria.
We are in another Salem.
“The horrors hurled at Houston and the Himalayan lowlands in late August were heartbreaking - but also infuriating. How many times must we see this disaster movie - titled Hurricane Harvey “
His overuse of alliteration is killing me.
Nobody has burned witches over this yet. But wait.
“Experts have warned for decades that global warming would increase these sorts of weather extremes and that people would suffer and die if protective measures were not implemented.”
Author completely ignores the _years_ of _no_ hurricanes precisely at the times that alarmists were insisting that the worst hurricane season ever was upon us.
...then 2 large hurricanes pop up, and he calls for memecide.
If he still uses gasoline-powered vehicles, himself or by proxy, then he should set his own example and off himself first.
Literally - we are all dying!
