Wouldn’t that imply that the federal government needs to do something to prevent similar events in the future? Like actually doing something to reduce CO2 emissions in the US?
It would activate the FEMA fund and allow for a pool of executive spending for disaster relief, yes.
Oh you mean, oh no, big oil and legacy auto are struggling with the switch to EV… they need relief money so they can destroy the ecosystem and come up with a 0 emission plan by 2050…
"Oh, haha, now that I am personally getting inconvenienced by climate change, I demand the government take action to assist me."
You know, we could have worked to prevent this all together decades ago for everyone when we were told this would happen over and over. Man we’re a shitty species. Maybe the heat will teach some of those who need it some much needed humility.
Nah.
I usually don’t like this type of stuff, but this made me laugh.

It’s been over 100°F for two or three weeks here. Of course I live in a redhat reichwing state and people are quick to point out “yeah, it’s always 104° in July” the problem is its been over 100° every day since June. That’s unusual. Or it was unusual.
This article didn’t even mention deadly wet bulb conditions (ie, humidity so high that sweating no longer cools a person down).
We’ll be hearing more and more about that as climate change progresses. Talk about a disaster… combine that with a power failure, and you’ll start seeing a true catastrophe.
It was 95F and 98% humidity at my house the other day. I thought I was going to die every time my dogs had to go out to pee.
This prompted me to look up how humidity percentages work. It’s the amount of water in the air relative to it’s current maximum based on temperature and pressure. Going above 100% is possible above 25000 ft due to the purity of the air. Clouds formed when impurities are introduced or pressure and temperature allow. (This is all just my cursory pleb ‘knowledge’ and may be partially or entirely wrong)
How about we compromise and just declare the oil industry itself a federal disaster and nationalize it?
