Bush had his Katrina. Some politicians and city officials wanted Trump to have his Harvey. And to blame storm strength on climate change. Yes, I've already read articles insinuating both. Amazing how far some people will go for their hatred of Trump and his office.
You can't be serious that the mayor did this so he could blame Trump. That's an incredible accusation. If anything, allowing this to happen so Trump can swoop in to take the credit for rebuilding humanizes and bolsters his image.
And yes, this Hurricane's intensity and track can be partially attributed to climate change. I don't have time nor do I want to make the effort to go into the science behind it.
