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 Earth’s 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 Post’s editorial board wrote. “The Trump administration has now attacked all three pillars of President Barack Obama’s climate-change plan.” The piece concluded: “The president has cemented the GOP’s legacy as one of reaction and reality denial.

The Left is deranged — and dangerous.
Folks, we are rapidly approaching the point at which ‘peaceful’ coexistence with these bastards will not be possible.
Rush always says “You can’t make this stuff up.”
An old joke around here is that the Dems will blame the snowstorm on Trump and the death of the dinosaurs on Trump.
This is exactly that horrifyingly stupid. Millenials believe it!
So this big theory of climate change is out there. The world concludes the answer is NOT for them to produce lest carbon dioxide. The answer is to extort billions of dollars from the American taxpayer. Donald Trump realizes the farce of this arrangement and decouples from such a scheme. The result of this perfectly common sense reaction is a... massive hurricane? Sure it is Washington Post, sure it is...
Must be the Mother of all Thought Crimes. Trump can conjure up hurricanes at will.
Be on guard for some kind of false flag attack. The Left will not let a crisis go to waste.
Never let a Storm go to waste when you can use it to attack Trump and plug Global Warming
Why is it that Obama can claim credit for the good economy, but escapes blame for a major tropical storm? Cherry picking our legacy, aren’t we?
If Trump wasn’t President the last 20 months, we wouldn’t have this hurricane.
So now will they pit Trump calling up a storm and Pat Robertson collecting money and prayers to stop it? /s
The WaPo is complicit the ethical decline of American journalism.
I'll bet the creepy porn lawyers gets the Washington Post - the rag fits his client too.
washington post claims President Trump responsible for the ninety percent of plastic litter flowing from asian countries to the ocean!!
Either way, it WILL be more winning.
I am worried about the sanity of the Left Wing in this country. This has to be the dumbest statement they have ever announced
Does anyone still think we can reason with these people?
Anyone?
Anyone?

Okay...........
Who was complicit in the 1900 Galveston hurricane that killed 4,000 people? Who was complicit in the 1715 hurricane off Florida when 2,000 died when 14 Spanish ships sank 200 yards off the beaches?
Washington Post is being mean because the FBI boys dumped ‘em cold turkey...
