    what does this have to do with climate change?
    seems normal.

    One of the consequences of climate change is extreme weather conditions. The reason Hurricane Harvey became so strong was because of the warm waters in the gulf which partially is a consequence of climate change. Hurricanes like we saw in Houston should be once in a lifetime but Katrina only happened 12 years ago. They're becoming more frequent.

    why do warm waters lead to stronger hurricanes and how do we know this water was warmer due to a change in the climate?

    as far as I know, warmer waters only prolong the time it takes for a hurricane to dissipate, for the most part. it doesn't make them bigger and better. (could be wrong but).

    just seems weird like "THIS IS IT. ITS HAPPENING TO US. WE MUST STOP CLIMATE CHANGE -THIS HURRICANE IS PROOF OF THAT"

    Like no, it was a natural disaster and a number of factors could have contributed to it. did global warming play a part in how long it lasted? probably. Is this a warning for everyone to suddenly "wake up" and see that global warming is causing this crisis? n, 1000 other things would make as better examples for climate change.

    blaming the hurricane completely on global warming just seems like you're trying to turn a tragedy into something political

    Warmer surface water dissipates more quickly into vapor making it easier for small ocean storms to develop into bigger storms. Think of pouring gasoline into a fire – the fire is obviously going to get bigger when you do that.

    Well, naturally the gulf tends to be warmer than other oceans but the earth's surface temp. has been steadily rising since the industrial revolution due to green house gasses being thrown into the atmosphere. The last 4 or 5 years have been the hottest years on record until the next year lol. We just continue to break the record every year. Since the earth continues to get hotter, our oceans also get warmer.

    It does get them bigger.

    Climate Change has always been a phenomenon that carries out slowly over time. That's why it's so hard to get people to acknowledge it's such a serious issue. If there's no huge catestrophy, people just tend to brush it off. There defintley needs to be more conprehensive studies to determine to what extent climate change played a part in hurricane Harvey but it defintley played its role. I'm not saying we wouldn't have hurricanes if it wasn't for climate change but rather that the hurricane wouldn't have been this strong. Humans are creating an environment for huge hurricanes like Harvey to pop up more frequently.

    So trump has decided to end DACA. For those of you that don't know, DACA is a immigration policy put in place by Obama that protects undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. These people grew up in the US & don't have any other place to call home. Punishing these individuals for the decisions that their parents made is wrong.

    I bet this cac one of those weird f---ers who hang out on 4chan and talk about Russian literature all day while dismissing mainstream culture, insisting they are more intellectual than anyone else although they're too f---ing socially inept to do anything.

    Well, @Enigma? Do you regret having Hillary in your avatar for a year straight? Lmao!
    Remember in ‘07 when Obama said he didn't support amnesty? Then when he took office he 180'd on the issue and wanted to grant amnesty to a bunch of people. Can you say hypocrite?

    And Trump is well within his purview to end DACA. He's actually showing remarkable restraint by referring it to the legislature. Again, stop bitching and s--- it the f--- up. You lost. Big league.
