Climatologist: Media, FEMA Use Hurricane Helene To Stoke Climate Fears, Ignore Natural Cycles
Plus: The Real Costs Of Rebuilding In Vulnerable Areas
by Dr. Matthew Wielicki Sep 30, 2024
As I watched the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, the homes submerged, lives upended, and entire communities left in disarray, my heart went out to those facing unimaginable loss. It’s a stark reminder of the human cost of these natural disasters. [emphasis, links added]
But as we confront these tragedies, we must also take a critical look at how we respond to them. Are we truly addressing the causes, or are we caught in a cycle of rebuilding in the same vulnerable areas, only to see them destroyed again?
The recent Hurricane Helene has sparked renewed debate about the relationship between extreme weather and climate change.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell’s remarks, focusing on warming waters and rising storm intensities, reflect the narrative that connects these disasters to global climate trends.
