The Spin

As long as man-made climate change is allowed to proliferate with done to oppose it, the threat of these types of storms will continue. More must be done to battle climate change because as long as the oceans and atmopshere continue warming severe flooding and other destructive forces will be on their way.

It's unfortunate that a once-in-a-century storm is about to hit the coast of Florida, but this isn't about man-made climate change. The frequency and intensity of these storms hasn't increased in recent decades. More must be done to create better evacuation policies and protect areas where more people are choosing to live than ever before.
