    Your time would be better spent keeping the trays in the locked, upright position than giving guidance on climate.

    It was pretty much the same…two made landfall in Florida right?

    One as a Cat 4 (Helene) and one as a Cat 3 (Milton) within less than two weeks of each other. While climate change probably has little impact on the frequency of tropical cyclones it's definitely a factor in their intensity.
    Climate change is probably increasing the intensity of tropical cyclones

    I would add that the source of the linked article is NOAA. Under Project 2025 the agency (as well as other federal agencies like NASA) would be prohibited from publishing research on climate change and the functions of the National Hurricane Center would be privatized.

    Subscription model for hurricane info/tornado alerts.

    Seems like a good idea.

    Yeah, should be fun when insurance has to make up for the loss of more than $183 billion in hurricane damage, mostly out of the pockets of all homeowners on Southeastern States. Because insurance doesn't care about the cognitive dissonance from being wrong about climate change 20 years ago.

    You’re might be a lost cause.
    You’ll probably need two years clear of any libbie media outlets.
    Then and only then do you have a chance to get clean.
    Kick the habit bro.
    We’re all pulling for ya.

    Enjoy both your higher taxes and higher insurance if you get your way. I imagine that you will find a way to blame both on libbies. That should be interesting at least.

    I’ll be ok.
    But don’t ask me to vote for getting kicked in the nards.
    I’ll leave that to the libbies.

    I was really shocked when I heard on NPR that the average cost of homeowner's insurance in Florida is $10,000 a year. Since most posters to this board have more direct knowledge that I do, feel free to either verify or refute. I suspect that come the next time policies are up for renewal whatever the premiums are now will be substantially increased.

    Really it depends on how close to the coast you are…and how old your roof is.
    Just got a new policy on several doors and it wasn’t bad.
    Under 4k.

    Absolutely! Deforestation and desertification compound and amplify temperature increases driven by fossil fuel emissions, no question.
