She isn’t talking about the weather, she is talking about why the weather has gotten so volatile. Maybe if we keep polluting and not saying the magic words, it will all go away, but I don’t think you have a prayer.

Time to wise up, deniers. It’s really not even a difficult logic chain. Heat is energy; more energy in the atmosphere means more energetic weather.

It’s too complicated for the Republican admin so they are destroying the tax payer paid for data so they can pollute more.

I saw this on Facebook:Mother nature heard the deniers and said, “Hold my beer while I make some believers.”

How does Texas’s lax chemical regulations help? Other that pollute the flood waters for the hurricanes.

@CAL The really short answer is that polluting companies usually abandon their pollution for the State Tax-Payers to clean up.

I.e. Privatize the Profits / Socialize the Costs.

Cap and trade basically is a Conservative Policy that makes sure the Company making the mess pays the cost of cleaning up after itself.

There is far more to it than that, but if you are interested:

My father held a PhD in physical oceanography and spent the last 30 years of his life as a senior technical editor with the American Meteorological Society, and my eldest son is a field biologist with the US Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. Then, there’s my youngest, a nuclear engineer with the NRC. Both my brothers are also scientists… We had some brain-numbing arguments over Christmas dinners for over a decade.
