Flood, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes... all exacerbated by climate change and no state is immune, yet trump's talking about shutting down FEMA

[Politruk]

Always?
With the federal government completely out of the picture the States can be in complete control.
Disaster relief
Abortion
Education

Decentralization is almost never a good idea.

Looking at the way you guys interact with anyone with an opposing view. What would someone have to do to get banned here? Wouldn’t you folks get banned first?

Aah yes... The "I've never been here before" routine.

That's unique....

Mississippi was hit by tornadoes 2 months ago. They’re still waiting for a response from TrumpFEMA.

I’m shocked! SHOCKED!

Don't worry, if you stick to bragging about your shrunken balls, you won't get banned.

You have a definite grasp for the obvious. Trump even said that his upcoming E/O on FEMA would include a study on how to reform, overhaul or maybe even getting rid of it altogether. Getting rid of Mayorkas is a solid first step.

You sure write a lot of garbage. Double talking me makes you look stupid. The biggest fault with FEMA is inadequate customer service. FEMA doesn't need to get bigger it needs to get better. It needs a competent management team, experts in logistics and finance. Needs to hire people based on meritocracy not DEI.

Oh, is that because there are some women in charge over there? Who are these DEI hires, exactly?

Buckle up

The increased rate of global warming has shocked even the experts. Global temperatures in 2023, 2024 and 2025 so farhas shattered previous records, and not by a little. Scientists have long known that greenhouse gas emissions are driving global warming, but the recent spike is faster and larger than anyone expected. Something is accelerating climate change, and we don’t fully understand what it is.

Pioneering climate scientist James Hansen—the man who first warned the U.S. Senate about global warming in 1988—is now raising a terrifying new alarm. He points to “cloud feedback” as the likely culprit: rising temperatures are thinning the clouds that once helped cool our planet by reflecting sunlight back into space. With fewer clouds, more heat stays in the system—triggering even faster warming.

If Hansen is right, the implications are staggering. The Earth’s climate could be 50% more sensitive to CO₂ than previously estimated by the IPCC. That would mean all our current climate models severely underestimate how bad things could get.
