There are also pending actions to deregulate safety requirements for coal ash pits and rolling back methane restrictions, it’s like dealing with some remote tribe that doesn’t understand science. Those regulations are just so costly, much cheaper to just deal with hurricane damage.

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.
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.

Oh? WHAT $$$ value has been assigned to each life lost?

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.

Jesus calmed the storm. Apparently storms aren't new. Using tragedy to push a leftist agenda is heartless.

Yes, but its relative the general times one is living in too...at one time, 'mainstream science' had some pretty crazy theories they called facts...that were eventually proven to be wrong, so its likely 50+ yrs in the future, some things science today calls FACTS, will be proven to be nonsense.

The fact that carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation will probably not be proven wrong. It’s a fundamental property of physics and chemistry.
Have scientists been wrong about the specific heat of water for centuries?
