        No! JUST NO! People are dying & are losing EVERYTHING! My neighbors are being evacuated by boats & helicopter. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

        200 years of unchecked worldwide industrialization isn't a joke either.

        So we agree ... in regards to both of our viewpoints (mine on the loss of life and yours on industrialization) this wasn't funny at all.

        Satire is not always intended to be funny and is often used as a tool for social commentary.

        Would you stand outside of a burning building while people are screaming and write a satire about it while it's happening?

        Climate change is going to make these events worse and more frequent. It's like standing there and saying "maybe don't pour gas on the fire"

        We'll be sure to add that to the eulogies of the dead. "Houstonian died in the name of Climate Change". It'll bring so much comfort!

        It's already too late. Things like this happen because people refuse to accept reality. To close to home? Good. Feel it.

        After all the inappropriate jokes they've made for 20 years, if this is the one that drove you away, you never loved or respected them.

        There's a time for everything this is not the time for funny headlines about Houston. Maybe after the flood waters subside. Dicks
