Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that the changing climate is causing hurricanes to become more severe when discussing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Host Dana Bash said, “This storm was 420 miles wide at one point, which appears to be part of a trend where storms are simply bigger than they once were, perhaps because of the changing climate. What are your thoughts on that?”
Scott said, “Who knows but you’re right. Irma was bigger than our state. This was gigantic. And do you know, the other thing that it seems like what’s happening, is the storm surge is getting worse. We had over ten foot of storm surge.”

Remember when communism fell they had to figure out a new way to control us. Scare us if you stand back and think about this to think that humans could affect the climate is absolutely ridiculous.
We had over ten foot of storm surge.”>>> Wouldn’t have anything to do with all the houses and filled in swamps that used to be a natural barrier to those said storm surges would it? IDIOT.
A few weeks ago the ‘experts’ didn’t know if it would develop into a hurricane.
The “climate” garbage talk is proving that homo sapiens is devolving into stupid idiots.
Yet, this hurricane season has produced less than forecast. So they have a large storm surge. Not unusual, but sorry for those folks.
Rick Scott is an idiot shill
What an idiot. How do so many stupid people get elected to positions of power??
How do we know this? Do we know how large and powerful the storms were 2000 years ago? 1000 years ago? 500 years ago to establish these trends?
Just since satellites have existed is not a very long time to observe this.
Quit building on the coasts if you want to avoid coastal damage. We have significantly higher amounts of damage than in the past because the coasts are more built up. It is as simple as that.
Gee rick, ya waited years for a really bad hurricane to hit to say this? We went years with hardly any action at all- you were silent during those years!
Get in touch with Joe Bastardi and he will set you straight about climate change and the false idea that ‘things are gettign worse”
what an ignorant thing to say...Do these people understand how stupid this sounds? Was an average size hurricane...nothing out of the ordinary.
10 feet?
Hurricane Camille (1969) had a storm surge of 24.6 feet
Better than whom?
It’s a storm Rick. Sometimes they can be very big. That doesn’t mean it’s caused by human activity. That is if the government doesn’t do something stupid like seed clouds to produce rain. Weather has been changing for better or worse since the beginning of time.
Running to CNN says it all.
Shut up, Rick. Vote this r******d f*g out.
[Rick Scott: Hurricane Storm Surges Getting Worse, ‘Climate Is Clearly Changing’]
I think the only thing that can fix this is a HUGE TAX on all citizens......../is it really necessary?
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. I wonder what his baseline is for “storm surge is getting worse”.
” You were wrong with HCA “
I worked for him. He has a lot of true believers here on FR.
Et, tu, Ricky?
