And yet Johnson say’s there’s no way to estimate losses before the new administration is in place…
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he won’t call Congress back into session early to fast-track emergency funding for hurricane victims, arguing that there’s no rush since “it takes a while to calculate the actual damages.”
Pay no attention to the US consistently smashing new fossil fuel production records since the last decade…
If we cut fossil fuel subsidies, billionaires would have slightly less money! Obviously neither political party could allow that. We dont even have a viable candidate this election who’s not pro-fracking.
Even tho in coal friendly battleground states like Pennsylvania, 58% support banning it.
Pennsylvania voters continue to be split over fracking. A poll out this week, which surveyed 700 likely voters in September, shows 58% support a ban on fracking while 42% oppose it.

But as long as both candidates agree. It literally doesn’t matter what voters want on the issue.
So we’ll keep destroying the environment and causing climate change to accelerate then act shocked when every year extreme weather events get worse.
CO2 emissions in the US peaked in 2008 and have been declining since. I’d prefer it decline faster, but we’re moving in the right direction.

Don’t forget, Florida doesn’t need any federal help because the governor is afraid it might be politically motivated.
Let DeSantis figure it out. Fuck that fascist goat fucker.
Ron will be just fine. He’s a multimillionaire. It’s all of the poor people who will suffer.
And their shitty governor is refusing coordination with the White House. GOP is a disease.
