This was the last year I spent in Florida. To this day I don't understand why my family stayed. I went back to visit in 2017, and you could still see damage from Charley, some buildings were never repaired. And a tornado ripped through the woods by my parents house during the 2005 hurricane season, and that path is still eerily visible
I lived through Charley and a slew of other hurricanes. Things never truly, fully recover and it’s just going to get worse with the current admin talking about getting rid of FEMA funding. We are planning our exit but it’s tough when you have family and friends here.
It should be criminally punishable for public servants to blatantly lie like this. I don't mean little white lies should be illegal. I don't mean that statements where there is even a smidge of room for disagreement should be illegal. I mean that big, damaging, blatantly disprovable lies should be illegal.
In this case, he is saying that the IPCC has said the exact opposite of what the IPCC has said. He is lying about something that can be found in black and white in the IPCC reports.
No no, Chris Wright is not wrong. He is inventing facts. That's different, because it sounds much better than being wrong, although it is in fact much much worse. You know, 'cause he is a liar.
