So what are your ideas and solutions to sole this problem? Who are you speaking to? What bills have you brought forward to help these issues?

#MarketChoiceAct, which exceeds carbon emissions goals of both the#ParisAgreement and#CleanPowerPlan here:https://curbelo.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2090 … -
False:
#MarketChoiceSham does not cap emissions. If the marginal cost of emissions is does not hinder revenue margins then there is no incentive for industries to reduce emissions. Specially when you put a moratorium on EPA regulations. -
Pricing CO2 is the best way to reduce emissions. It recommended by the IPCC. I would prefer to see the price returned to households as a Dividend, but Rep Curbelo’s plan is a good one too. Environmentalists should be open-minded about market solutions.
-
IPCC report sets a much higher price for CO2 + highlights need for emission regulations. Curbelo's bill falls short on the IPCC recommended price + puts a moratorium on EPA regulations. Feels more like a bandaid, or greenwash for his tenure & campaign. CC is a big issue in SFL.

Citing the Clausius–Clapeyron Equation and it’s implications and sensitivity of air and sea temperatures to the available water and latent heat energy of a hurricane isn’t alarmism. It’s well established physics.
-
There is a fine line between alarmism and prudent precaution. Not an easy one to navigate. How do you tell people in a way that compels action?
-
Redrawing the 30-year flood map using science-based principles and engineering best practices qualifies as “alarmism” by some people.

I understand your concern, but I think using the rhetoric of skeptics really hurts the cause. Attribution studies are not "alarmist," they are rigorous science. Rapidly intensifying and higher cat. storms like
#HurricaneMichael exemplify future climate impacts - we know this. -
I don't think rep Curbelo was referring to the scientific studies, Colin. I believe he's referring to activists who exaggerate the attribution, and I agree that's counterproductive.
-
That was likely the aim, but those "activists" are likely basing their concerns in attribution. I agree its reckless to say "this hurricane is bc of climate change", but who is? I'm just disappointed that Carlos is feeding the skeptic narrative & harming attribution science.

True!!! The strongest hurricane ever to strike the U.S. (it actually made landfall in Florida) was in 1935. The most deadly hurricane to strike the U.S. was in 1900.
-
That doesn't actually refute the hypothesis that climate change is causing *on average* stronger and more frequent hurricanes.
-
Yes, BUT hurricanes are not becoming stronger or more frequent. The data below is for the US only but elsewhere things look similar.pic.twitter.com/ZLzgYblR8U

Tornadoes also don't seem to be trending higher.pic.twitter.com/hVlV7lvBmP

Again, showing me out of context pictures without links is really, really bad arguing.
-
Regardless, tornadoes don't rely on ocean temperature, so a comparison can't be made.
-
But hurricanes do.
