In what has got to be one of the most ironic moments of the year, the secessionist Texas Governor Rick Perry, is demanding Disaster Relief For Texas Wildfires From Obama.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/18...So apparently the governor has changed his mind about the need for big government. I wonder if he also acknowledges that taxes will have to be raised to pay for the aid he will receive? Would austerity plans and budget cuts include disaster relief?
Has he also changed his mind about Global Warming since this is the driest Texas has been in nearly a century? NASA data shows the last decade was the hottest in history.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/scienc...How about those Southern governors who are also asking for disaster relief for the 240 tornadoes that tore through 14 states? Are they still Global Warming deniers? "NASA scientists have developed a new climate model that indicates that the most violent severe storms and tornadoes may become more common as Earth's climate warms."
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...What about the record storms and blizzards this February? "According to NationalGeographic.com, what's been dubbed "Snowpocalypse 2011" is one of the worst storms since the 1950s." Doesn't anyone think that was strange? But hold it you say. What does freezing and blizzards have to do with Global Warming? Doesn't that prove that Global Warming is a myth?
The facts are that warmer oceans and atmosphere create more moisture in the air and thus more storms, and that the lack of polar ice shifts the colder air fronts South, and where they meet the warm moist air from the warmer oceans, there are huge storms.

Actually Climate change is what it was always called (guess what the CC stands for in IPCC?) The whole naming controversy was thought up by the fossil fuel/ Denial industry to foster confusion among the ignorant.
http://greenfyre.wordpress.com/climate-d...My question is: If all scientific evidence points to more and more natural disasters, as we have been experiencing ever more frequently, shouldn't we budget more money for disaster relief instead of cutting that budget? Shouldn't we pay for it instead of just borrowing more?
Shouldn't the Fossil Fuel Industries that are creating Global Warming, who have the lowest taxes in 60 years, pay a bit more to help all of these unfortunate victims of these Global Warming Disasters?
