The death toll from Hurricane Helene has risen to 200 as rescuers continue to search for survivors from the storm that tore across the US south-east.
More than half of the deaths were in North Carolina, where entire communities were uprooted and devastated by the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005.
Hundreds of people are still missing and nearly a million homes are without power nearly a week after Helene made landfall.
There is just no way to communicate these numbers effectively to the masses 😕
The minute you mention 1.5 degrees people turn their brain off, as “that can’t possibly be a problem”
You have to spend like 2 weeks explaining weather, climate and history before somone is educated enough to understand the problem.
Meanwhile bad actors can just say it was cold today in August! Where’s your global warming??
And all your work is undone in 2 seconds…
It’s fucking frustrating
