The editorial board of the Washington Post has declared that President Trump is complicit for Hurricane Florence because of his views on climate change.
The massive storm has not made landfall yet, but the Post published a column on Wednesday headlined, Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit.
The piece also notes that Trump has given good advice when issuing hurricane warnings via his Twitter feed before it launched an attack on the president.
When it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earths systems to produce disasters, the editorial board wrote.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos paper then quotes a climate researcher who said that previous hurricanes would not have produced so much rain without human-induced climate change and Florence is another indication of global warming.
With depressingly ironic timing, the Trump administration announced Tuesday a plan to roll back federal rules on methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is the main component in natural gas. Drillers and transporters of the fuel were supposed to be more careful about letting it waft into the atmosphere, which is nothing more than rank resource waste that also harms the environment, the Posts editorial board wrote. The Trump administration has now attacked all three pillars of President Barack Obamas climate-change plan.
The piece concluded: The president has cemented the GOPs legacy as one of reaction and reality denial. Sadly, few in his party appear to care.
Conservative strategist Chris Barron told Fox News that the mainstream media finds new ways to embarrass themselves....

If he was, he’d aim it at NYC.
Was he complicit in inducing Hazel in 1954?
Obviously.
Not to mention Hitler’s rise to power.
The fall of the Roman Empire.
And he along with Judas betrayed Christ.
This is flat out INSANITY !!!
Usually I’m joking when I say that Trump has put the fear of God in the Democrats. But if they truly believe Trump causes hurricanes... :)
Last year, the media worked hard to try to make Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico into Trump’s Katrina. It looks like they are setting things up to do the same with Florence.
No such thing as fake News...righhhhht.
It’s just the bizarre behavior of a spoiled child stamping their feet and holding their breath....except it’s not an individual, and they’re not children.
What they really mean is Trump and most of his base are complicit and should be banished from the planet they’re trying to destroy
It’s about time the potheads in the “mainstream media” start blaming the weather on politicians. I knew recreational “medical” marijuana legalization was going to be good for something.
On its face, that is a nonsense statement.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The compost has jumped more than the shark, they have vaulted over Moby Dick.
“Trump is ‘complicit’ for dangerous storm . . . “
I suspected as much. Trump discovered Bush & Cheney’s hurricane machine and is putting it to use now!
“Was he complicit in inducing Hazel in 1954?”
You mean back in 1954, when “climate change” was still just, “the weather”? /s
Obama had 8 years to fix “global warming.” He said he was going to. Why didn’t he do it? Was it his laziness. Stupidity?
None of the above because”it” can’t be “fixed!!!” We should plug up all the errupting volcanoes in the world with the fat asses of liberals like Mikey Moore and Serena Williams.
