First major hurricane to hit the US in almost 12 yrs, and yeah it's climate change
The path exhibited by this storm is a result of climate change.
There is ZERO evidence to support that claim. None. Anyone claiming otherwise is pulling it out of their rear end.
Peer reviewed scientific studies have indicated that global and regional weather patterns and long wave activity will stagnate as climate change progresses. To a non atmospheric scientist, the highs and ridges that drive the weather stay in place longer causing system stagnation. It's one of the primary reasons this hurricane sat in the same area for a week (unprecedented) and similar to the extreme heat in the Pacific NW, extreme drought in the SE and flooding in California.
And I'm not supporting his decision to not evacuate. I understand his hesitation after the last storm and the complexity of moving 6 million people. I'm saying I find the accusation that he did it do Trump looks bad to be stupid.
Anytime I read about "peer reviewed scientific studies" my first question for the scientists is what's their primary source of funding/income? Second question is if they receive donations for research, what political affiliation did the money come from?
