Today's story was, of course, the destruction caused by Hurricane Ian in Florida. It is one of the strongest hurricanes ever to strike Florida, and in the coming days, we will learn more about the damage it leaves behind and the number of victims it has made in the state's low-lying and densely populated coastal areas.
It’s been shocking to watch the power of nature unleashed so dramatically. These videos show the stark reality of how nature fueled by man-made climate change can be our worst enemy if we fail to protect our planet. It’s true tomorrow will show more evidence of Ian’s massive destruction and there will be stories of human and animal suffering that will break hearts.
Its ironic that the state of Florida is governed by a man who glibly denies the climate crisis when his state is so vulnerable to catastrophes. Using a matter of critical importance as a political football to not join the opposing party to protect lives and, more importantly, our planet is utter nonsense. Yet days ago the World Bank President refused to acknowledge that burning fossil fuels is rapidly warming the planet and exacerbating climate change.
Responsible and educated leadership is of utmost importance. Thank you for an important article.
Thanks for this urgent reminder! Very chocking though are old times but now in charge responsible politicians who dare speaking of left wing things when disasters strike and are so huge, destructive and costly !
Thank you for your wise counsel...and degree of optimism.
An excellent wrap up today’s catastrophic event.
