Climate change. 30 years ago my husband and I looked at a chart showing the increase in carbon emissions. It had been at 250 ppm for millions of years but now it had spiked to 363 ppm. The world was taking it seriously. America entered into the Kyoto Agreement to reduce emissions. My husband and I leased our first all electric car, a Nissan EVPlus, and we became vegan to reduce methane. In 2000 we voted for Al Gore. We were so hopeful. But, alas, here we are. Carbon emissions are now 419 ppm and climbing. And, in 2022/23 - over 140 million people worldwide were climate refuges. There is now a word for it - climate displacement. No country wants them. Devious politicos, pockets stuffed with industry bribes, scream - drill, baby, drill to cheering crowds. It’s like living in an insane asylum with self destructive inmates who like cutting on themselves.
45 years ago President Carter was telling us we needed to start moving off of fossil fuels immediately, and put solar panels on the roof of the White House. Then Iran took the hostages, Carter looked weak, and we got Reagan.
I lived in Florida in 2005 and we stayed in the Gulf Coast for hurricane Wilma, which was a category 5 initially and one of the worst hurricanes ever. It weakened to a cat 3 or so by the early morning it hit Naples and Fort Myers, which was why many people stayed. Plus, we were young and foolish.
It was a scary, dangerous experience.
People suffering from hurricanes deserve support and empathy, and anyone using these disasters for political gain should be ashamed.
That would be our shitty gov Deathsantis, all he does is shove his face in front of any camera he can find. Others do the work while he bloviates on Fox fanatic channel.
Why do I get the feeling that, amidst all the reporting about the storm and the aftermath, some intrepid reporter will find all the deets on every time Vice President Harris called Governor DeSantis ahead of each big hurricane that threatened Florida during the Biden Administration?
We just heard that one of my wife's cousins who lives in central FL east of Tampa is going to stay down in Miami until the storm passes. Another of her cousins lives in Asheville, but no one's heard from her yet. (She's estranged from her father, so there's not a family grapevine.)
"It's not all about you, Kamala!" She's calling about disaster aid, because she's the SITTING VICE PRESIDENT, and he's trying to reduce her to a middle-school girl, using her first name, and pretending SHE'S making it "all about herself." OMG I hate him so much.
Bet he stood all the way up to his shoe-lifted, tippy-toes-tallest height to stage that little tantrum. That's right, Loser Boy. It's not about Kamala, it's all about YOU. All of it, always and forever, about you you you you you you you.
"it’s currently projected to head out into the Atlantic after crossing the Florida peninsula instead of going on to hit other states"
It used to be said that G-dess' uses trailer parks as targets for tornadoes. Today, it's the Free State of Florida that has become Her target. Gov DeSantis, ain't Karma a bitch? Unfortunately there are swaths of the state that suffer due to the asshattery of the FL New GOP, along with those parts that are deserving of being reminded that the RINOs are ruining the state.

"The federal government is already sending supplies and staff to advance “incident staging bases” to be ready to reach the affected areas as soon as the storm passes."
Why the wait? If the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus were still POTUS he'd have told Milton that making landfall in FL would be a bad thing *before* the hurricane hits. Milton would respond, "Sir, you are correct, as always. I'll pull a 180 degree turn and slink back to where I came from." If Milton doesn't heed the warning, the Fulvous Flatulence will be there during the storm, in the way of the first responders, and taking valuable resources needed elsewhere -- this would be a primo photo op, the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster raging against the storm.

"Outside evacuation areas, you still want to get your news from reliable up-to-date sources but you already know that!"
Reliable sources like Newsmax, OANN, The Gateway Pundit, the Federalist newsletter, or the Daily Wire as examples.

"It is not yet known which of several library books about climate change DeSantis will ultimately blame for the hurricane."
DeSantis isn't going to blame books already banned from school and public libraries, any already on the chopping block, or those that in the future Moms4Liberty will complain about. Meatball will agree with MTG that Helene was man-made by the Dems, as is Milton. The D's nefarious plan is to throw the southern red states into chaos just before the election (first class election interference, IMO) in order to deny the Mango Malignancy his triumphant return to the Oval Office.

YESYESYES. Hav e him stand on the beach shaking his tiny , cleched fingers and ... waits is that a rogue wave? Yes, Yes it is! Miltie sez "Hi!" Mango sez "bye burblegurglegurgle."
"We have done all that we can -- and more -- to bring these violent storms down upon the heads of my people. To devastate the lands and the creatures dwelling therein. To shatter the homes and lives of my subjects. We will not allow so-called 'help' to interfere with, assuage, or moderate their suffering and ultimate demise."
Today is my littlest niece’s birthday. She and her family live in Evacuation Zone A and we are all very worried about them as they try to get away from Milton. Because an entire major metropolitan area is currently emptying onto the roads to get out of Dodge, cell service has been absolutely horrible and we haven’t had a ton of luck getting calls through.
Please keep my family in your thoughts (and your prayers, if you are the praying kind of person) over the next few days. I am very worried.
I live in Milton's path. I might be able to see the eye above before it passes. It's going to be CAT 2 when it gets here with 6-8 inches of rain onto already-saturated soil. Preparations are made. I'm good on booze too. Think happy thoughts for me until this blows over please.

Carter was ridiculed, of course. That’s what we do to decent, honest politicians. I love him so much!

There is a difference between a leader, and a ruler. Guess which one is which in this story.
Impossible. A ruler's got 12 inches.
HEY-ohhhhhhh!
Ooooooof!🤣😂
ronny d has definitely taken donold's calls about milton, though.
I can't wait till Hurricane Kamala blows Gov. DisGusting out to sea.

Now remember;
Only white people salvage goods and items after a disaster.
Blacks and Latinos loot.

I’m happy that you’re good on booze! Stay safe and warm and dry!
