After reading a strong article in Think Progress from Joe Romm on the subject of the EPA accusing Climate Scientists of “politicizing” the shocking events in Texas, I googled to see who else was taking this tack of mistaking or deliberately misleading plain physics as politics, and yes it was the usual suspects who were “disgusted” that is Fox news, breitbart, daily caller and all. Who are they trying to kid ? it must be the youngsters who are getting used to seeing flooded communities and maybe think it normal.
And I do not see too much news about the convoy of helpers that Mexico sent, o;ly in minority press and reuters is it reported.
MEXICO SENDS CONVOY TO HELP HURRICANE VICTIMS IN HOUSTON
HOUSTON – The Mexican government may not be willing to pay for Trump’s border wall, but they are putting their money to good use this week.Even with the frayed relations between the United States and Mexico brought on by the Trump administration, the Mexican government is coming to the aid of those negatively impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
And, despite Donald Trump saying as he annonced his candidacy for president that Mexico only sends their worst, a Mexican Marine convoy of good individuals is coming!

Trump team politicizes superstorm Harvey by attacking scientists for doing their job
By rejecting science, EPA and Trump ensure we’ll see many more Harveys and be unprepared for all of them.

.. .
It is basic physics — confirmed by decades of observations — that says global warming puts more moisture into the atmosphere. That moisture then gets swept into superstorms and dropped on coastal communities in deluges. “There is universal agreement” on that fact, MIT climate and hurricane expert Kerry Emanuel told Reuters. “It’s solid physics.”

Lying about the climate–on many sides–is hurting our country. Sad!
