Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit. [barf alert]
Washington Compost ^ | 9/12/18

Posted on 09/12/2018 4:35:18 PM PDT by markomalley

YET AGAIN, a massive hurricane feeding off unusually warm ocean water has the potential to stall over heavily populated areas, menacing millions of people. Last year Hurricane Harvey battered Houston. Now, Hurricane Florence threatens to drench already waterlogged swaths of the East Coast, including the nation’s capital . If the Category 4 hurricane does, indeed, hit the Carolinas this week, it will be the strongest storm on record to land so far north.

President Trump issued several warnings on his Twitter feed Monday, counseling those in Florence’s projected path to prepare and listen to local officials. That was good advice.

Yet when it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earth’s systems to produce disasters.

Never mind the fact that US per capita "CO2 emissions have dropped since Trump took office (while the rest of the world has increased). source

(No, this is not me buying into the global warming hoax...rather, just pointing out some irony)

Wow, Trump is so cool - better than any super hero since he’s able to create hurricanes.

So if we hadn’t pulled out of the Paris global warming agreement, this hurricane wouldn’t be out there?

I was in Hurricane Betsy in Baton Rouge.

I was 10 years old and I did not protest climate change (it didn’t exist then, it was called “weather”).

Mr. TLI is complicit?

If the Category 4 hurricane

They are going to be so sad when it hits as a cat 3 and immediately (relatively) drops to a cat 2, then cat 1. Not that it matters. This is going to be Katrina II no matter how much or how little damage is actually done.

Nope.

Another Lie. Hazel 1954. Might as well blame FDR, Truman and Eisenhower.

Bitches never learn.

Let’s catalogue the theatre of the absurd this week:

Trump is a bigger threat to our freedom than the jihadists who attacked us on 9/11.

Trump hates the blind and ordered the removal of Braille from his buildings.

Trump is responsible for hurricanes/every weather event is “Trump’s Katrina.”

Yes indeed, it’s all Trump’s fault.

These people are so crazy, they think others will believe this insanity.

Apparently they forgot Superstorm Sandy, which occurred on Obama’s watch..but nah, can’t say anything negative about their messiah Obama, NOTHING that happened on his watch is EVER his fault
