The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a 150-page document this past week with a straightforward message for coping with the fallout from natural disasters across the country: Start planning for the fact that Climate Change is going to make these catastrophes worse.
Here’s your link to the aforementioned document…

The language, included in guidance on how to address the debris left in the wake of floods, hurricanes and wildfires, is at odds ! with the rhetoric of the EPA’s own leader, Andrew Wheeler.
Just last month, Wheeler said in an interview with CBS that “most of the threats from climate change are 50 to 75 years out.”
Yes, this is the moron who heads up our EPA.
Wheeler is the Trump appointee that replaced the legendary violator of Truth and the American Way, Scott Pruitt [why isn’t Scottie in an 8×10 with Felipe and Konstantyne yet??!]
In addition, Wheeler was that former coal industry lobbyist with more alleged corruption clouds over his heads than Lucifer himself. Yet, our elected lawmakers confirmed him this past February, remember?
Andy’s just part of the gang now…
The divergence between Wheeler and his own agency offers the latest example of the often contradictory way that federal climate policy has evolved under The Weave.
As the White House has sought to minimize or ignore climate science, government experts have continued to sound the alarm.
Multiple recent studies have identified how climate change is ALREADY affecting the United States and the globe.
In the western United States, for example, regional temperatures have increased by almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the ’70s, and snowmelt is occurring a month earlier in areas, extending the fire season by three months and quintupling the number of large fires.
Another scientific paper, co-authored by EPA researchers, found that unless the United States slashes carbon emissions, Climate Change will probably cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars annually by 2100.
Does your local city council even know about this attached document?
What, specifically, are your elected officials doing to address climate change in your community and state, right now?
Still NOT attending any townhall meetings, are you?
Why?!!??!?
