You're referring to the Trump tribe. They are the ones who think science is something to be "believed" in. My guess is that they equate it with religion in some way. Doesn't surprise me at all that they would pass a law banning science. It's just like banning the devil to them.
Ask a thousand liberals when a human life begins and you'll get a thousand different answers while science says there is only one.
This could be true, but it wouldn't have been so bad....A warmer ocean promotes more evaporation, a stronger hurricane, and a hell of a lot more rain, hence the massive flooding that occurred...A wise man accepts science.
Would you say that the water is warmer now than it was 20 years ago?
Reading the link... it was passed six years ago. And it isn't a "law against climate change."
Indeed. And signed in to law by a Democrat.
So there you are. A site that pretends to be a science site, is really a political activist site. And apparently the easily influenced fall for it like they do every day.

The biggest change we have in the hurricanes of the 2000's is that they are much larger and much wetter than pre-climate-change storms. Size of the storm and the surge/inland flooding are the characteristics most directly related to damage.
Hate to tell you this but that hurricane would have formed even if the global climate was 2 degrees cooler than it is right now. There's this thing on Earth called evaporation, and with it comes thunder storms, and sometimes the wind is right and those storms become hurricanes, regardless of how much carbon is pumped into the atmosphere.
Climate change made Florence’s most intense rains over North Carolina more than 50% greater in magnitude than they would have been otherwise, according to a first-of-its-kind experimental “pre-attribution” study done last week as the storm was approaching landfall. Florence was also likely 8 – 9% greater in areal size due to climate change, and the storm was more likely to stay at a high Saffir-Simpson category as it approached landfall, the researchers found, using a climate model that generated forecasts with and without climate change factored in.
The research, led by Dr. Kevin Reed of Stony Brook University’s Climate Extremes Modeling Group, used techniques that researchers have been performing with increasing confidence and sophistication since the first “attribution studies” linking specific weather events to climate change began appearing about five years ago.

You don't have to "say" that. Just look at the temperature data.
