In the 1950s, scientists employed by fossil fuel companies began telling the companies they worked for that burning fossil fuels would lead to higher average temperatures on planet Earth. In 1988, Dr. James Hansen testified to Congress that warmer atmospheric and ocean temperatures would lead to more powerful hurricanes. The science is so simple, even a fourth grader can understand it. Hotter air holds more moisture. More moisture means more rain.
However, the former president’s campaign has still had to contend with the scorching temperatures, as well as severe storms, that are being spurred by the burning of fossil fuels. In June, 24 people at a Trump rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, required medical attention due to severe heat, while a further 11 people were sent to hospital for heat exhaustion at a separate Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona.
The future tracking of storms such as Hurricane Helene could be radically different under a new Trump administration, thanks to Project 2025, the manifesto drawn up by America’s lunatic fringe, most of whom are former Trump aides. That plan is calling for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its National Weather Service, which currently provides free public information on weather events, to be broken up and commercialized.
Kevin Roberts, the jackass who is president of the Heritage Foundation, which published the Project 2025 policy blueprint, on Wednesday defended the plan and dismissed the overwhelming consensus that humans are warming the planet. He told thethat Hurricane Helene “sounds like weather to me.” This from a person who aspires to be a leading policy adviser to a second Trump presidency. Make of that what you will.
