    Not climate change sure sucks, don’t it, Republicans. Anyway I live up north so I’m fine, at least as far as hurricanes are concerned.

      My parents came from Ohio to visit me in Texas just after Ike came through. I was going to show them around Houston the first couple of days, but we just got out of there. About halfway through their visit, the neighbor called to tell them trees were down and there was no power and it was expected to be out for days. Weather (and IIRC tornadoes) from the remnants caused all kinds of damage.

      People have lost their homes. Please keep your political bickering out of this.

        Events like this will become more common and widespread due to those politics. But thoughts and prayers right?

        People have lost their lives and homes, and will continue to do so at increasing rates, precisely because of this “now is not the time for politics” sentiment when it comes to climate change. The longer we kick the can down the road, the more people are going to be killed or displaced because of it.

        I think feeling frustrated that we’re not doing enough to prevent the next set of people from having to go through this and suffer this bad is a perfectly reasonable reaction to have, actually.
