[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so tired of blaming Trump for everything, or blaming Biden, or whomever. Natural disasters happen, people die, it’s horrible and devastating but it’s not always someone’s fault. If that lake had a history of flooding, why was a children’s camp built right there beside it?[/quote]

Trump is pushing an energy strategy that contributes to making this worse. And he’s gutted NOAA and FEMA to boot. But it’s the Texas government and officials who are, again, most directly responsible for these children’s deaths. They continue to fail their children and “thoughts and prayers” over their deaths.

Can we make this easy enough for MAGA to understand?  Let's play connect the dots:

1. Many GOP politicians get big donations from oil and gas  and coal companies.

2. These politicians support laws that help fossil fuel companies (like oil, gas, and coal).

3. At the same time, they make it harder for clean energy (like wind and solar) to grow.

4. Burning fossil fuels puts carbon into the air.

5. Too much carbon traps heat, which warms the air and oceans.

6. Warmer ocean water (especially in places like the Gulf of Mexico) causes more water to evaporate into the air.

7. This leads to stronger storms and hurricanes.

8. Stronger storms bring more flooding, damage, and deaths.

A fifth grader would be able to understand all of this.  MAGA doesnt have a compelling excuse for not understanding it.[/quote]

Wow, you must be really smart.

Explain how we had strong hurricanes before carbon energy use.

Whole you’re at it, also explain the ice ages, more recently the LCO-MWP, the YD, and the entire pre-KT Boundary climate.

I’m sure this will be a piece of cake for someone who’s as well informed as you. [/quote]

Are you genuinely a climate change denier? You're comfortable living in this depth of ignorance...or do you just feel it's your duty to champion the GOP disinformation?[/quote]
