The always unhinged Think Progress is rather vexed by Trump heading to Louisiana
Trump Tours Flood-Ravaged Louisiana But Thinks Climate Change Is A Hoax
On Friday morning, Donald Trump toured southeast Louisiana, a region that has been ravaged in the past week by historic rainfall and devastating floods. Late last week, slow-moving weather systems dumped more than two feet of rain over a 48-hour period, leaving more than a dozen dead and at least 40,000 homes damaged. (snip)
But Trump’s visit, coupled with his calls for sympathy for the victims of the flooding, is ironic, considering his denial of climate change, which is expected to increase the likelihood that devastating floods like the one in Louisiana will occur.
“Climate change has already been shown to increase the amounts of rain falling in the most intense events across many parts of the world, and extreme rainfall events like this week’s Louisiana storm are expected to grow increasingly common in the coming years,†Bob Henson and Jeff Masters explained over at Weather Underground. Which is to say that while climate change can’t cause a single weather event — and while floods certainly would occur in a world without climate change — global warming is making the odds of these extreme events more and more likely.
Of course, when there are dry conditions, Warmists will also say that ‘climate change’ will make the odds of these extreme events (you know, weather, which happens regardless) more and more likely. No matter what happens, these cultists will invoke ‘climate change’. It’s what they do.
And TP isn’t the only outlet going Warmbat: the Washington Post thinks this is the perfect time to talk about Hotcoldwetdry. Which is not surprising, as they’d rather talk about that then why Obama kept golfing and doing parties and fundraisers while people were dying and houses were being flooded.
The Sierra Club released an unhinged press release through the far left Common Dreams whining that Trump is a “study in ignorance and reckless disregard” over ‘climate change’.
There’s plenty more like this, all Very Concerned about AGW and wanting to slam Trump, yet, showing an utter lack of empathy for the victims who are trying to pick up their lives right now. The victims are being used as props. Shameful.
