It drives me bonkers to see this type of garbage in print. Using single events (Hurricane Michael, Missouri River flooding) as evidence of climate change and a justification of spending ever-more taxpayer DoD dollars on natural catastrophe prevention rather than warfighting capability. How much of DODs budget could we spend on floods, hurricane prep, rising sea levels, wildfires, tornadoes, & etc? Well, all of it, if we really wanted to. BTW, hurricanes and tornadoes ("extreme" weather) have been on steady declines since 1900.

So common natural disasters are evidence of climate change, I believe we have been having hurricanes in the gulf and floods along the mississippi for eons. This writer is full of bunk, trying to connect common events to an agenda she is pushing.

Wow way to use your "gut" to try to deny what actual SCIENTISTS have proven with the scientific method. Absurd.

Look up the rate of hurricane landfalls on the US since 1800. Try NOAA. Look up the rate of tornadoes since 1800. No "gut", just facts. The reporting is absurd because it attemps to use singular events as evidence, when statistical trends indicate otherwise.
