This post is about the misinformation that Republicans are spreading in light of recent disasters.
Two of the deadliest hurricanes have swept through Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, East Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia and then through Florida, again.
Millions of Floridians were displaced by one of the fiercest storms of the century to strike the west coast of the state. I saw some of the displaced people as they escaped Hurricane Milton to Atlanta and beyond.
Life in our warming world is becoming more dangerous. Many have been forced to flee their homes two times in the past month. They know that hurricanes are part of life living where they do. One person wrote that her house has been demolished three times by hurricanes before Milton came roaring into the St Petersburg-Tampa Bay shoreline cities.
First responders’ rescue efforts are planned by folks who take their life-saving work seriously. During these disasters, people in need look for help from first responders and the local, state, and federal governments.
But lurking in the bushes are two despicable climate liars, Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Ocean temperatures have been off the charts since mid-March 2023, with the highest average levels in 40 years of satellite monitoring, and the impact is breaking through in disruptive ways around the world.
Climate change is an existential threat. If we don’t reduce and eventually eliminate our reliance on burning fossil fuels, global warming will continue and bring havoc to the planet earth. The United Nations climate change conference will take place from October 31 – November 12 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Climate change is the cause of the repressive heat and fires that unfortunately have become common place in the West. Climate change accelerated the conditions that created a heat dome over the Pacific NW.
The planet earth’s climate is undergoing rapid change that has resulted in human disasters. Climate change effects are causing wide-scale migration of people and impacting homeless populations, many of whom live in unsheltered locations.
