“#ClimateChange is this overflowing bathroom, and #DeSantis is coming in with towels. He’s putting on more and more towels without turning off the faucet.”

DeSantis supports "policies to boost fossil fuels, suppress carbon-free energy and ignore global heating." When asked about these policies, his office said: “You & your publication are despicable for running nonsense stories like this the day a major hurricane is making landfall in #Florida.”

The Stormchaser on his way to Tampa just pulled off into a rest area and found refuge behind an 18-wheeler. Remarkably he then went right back on the highway. He may have been scoping safe-ish parking just in case.
There’s virtually no visibility. These guys are certifiably reckless. He just said “It’s downright crazy right now I’ve got to make landing myself.” It’s a good thing he took a leak before the walls of water descended on his truck. He plows on, undeterred. 👀
👀 JHC. As Hurricane #Milton approaches Florida #meteorologists are staying awake for days at a time trying to get vital, life-saving information out to the folks who will be affected. That’s their job. But this year, several of them tell Rolling Stone, they’re increasingly having to take time out to quell the nonstop flow of #misinformation during a particularly traumatic #hurricane season. And some of them are doing it while being personally threatened.

Hurricane #Milton is likely to cause billions more.
Insurers are starting to take climate-fueled disasters into account and raising insurance rates dramatically.
We're discussing this issue NOW in a live webinar:

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: The Conversation presents: Weather, insurance − and your wallet. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
Home insurance rates are rising quickly across the U.S., with rates up more than 34% on average since 2017. The reasons are evident in states such as Florida, where a single hurricane can cause over $100 billion in damage.Zoom

#Threads & #bluesky are pretty useless since they lack good support for search and hashtags. #Twitter & #Facebook are full of misinformation, even about the hurricane.

Not sure what a 15 foot storm surge looks like? Here's a video from two years ago.
Anecdotally, my grandmother's sister and her husband decided to ride out this very storm. Their condo took a full year of work to be habitable again, as nearly everything was a total loss. They were on the third floor (what some countries call second floor).
Hurricanes are serious. When you're told to evacuate, listen. If you don't you may end up dead.

As Floridians are evacuating ahead of hurricane #Milton – third fastest growing hurricane on record and perhaps the biggest in a century…
…here's Eric Schmidt, opining that we need to feed AI beast at all cost, climate change be damned:
https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/08/eric_schmidt_speech/
"We're not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we're not organized to do it" – says a man who had a shit-ton of impact on how we're organized.
Schmidt founded White Stork, a defense company that develops AI-powered drones. 🤮
Eric Schmidt: Build more AI datacenters, we aren't going to 'hit climate goals anyway'
Perhaps the power-draining tech is the solution after all, posits former Google CEODan Robinson (The Register)

As #Hurricane #Milton intensifies & heads toward #Florida’s Gulf Coast, residents are not only preparing for its impacts but also dealing w/ #disinformation about #FEMA. The disaster relief agency has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in #aid so far to help those affected by Hurricane #Helene. #Trump claims FEMA is running out of money after spending it on undocumented #migrants. …Those #lies are discouraging people from applying for funds they desperately need.
President #Biden & lawmakers are advocating for #Congress’ return to Washington to provide more relief, especially w/Hurricane #Milton poised to cause massive damage.
