Why? Because he refuses to believe in anthropogenic climate change

This is so deranged I’m not even going to give them a direct link

(Fox News) The editorial board of the Washington Post has declared that President Trump is “complicit” for Hurricane Florence because of his views on climate change.

The massive storm has not made landfall yet, but the Post published a column on Wednesday headlined, “Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit.”

The piece also notes that Trump has given “good advice” when issuing hurricane warnings via his Twitter feed before it launched an attack on the president.

“When it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earth’s systems to produce disasters,” the editorial board wrote.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos’ paper then quotes a climate researcher who said that previous hurricanes would not have produced so much rain without “human-induced climate change” and Florence is another indication of global warming.

That’s the new talking point, after having gone through multiple reaction to what’s happening ones, namely, that hurricanes will be fewer but bigger with more rain. Of course, Florence is not cooperating with Warmist prognostication at the moment, having dropped to a Category 2 (there’s still a good chance of jumping back to a 3 as it crosses the gulf stream, a totally natural occurrence).

Conservative strategist Chris Barron told Fox News that the mainstream media ‘finds new ways to embarrass themselves and further erode Americans confidence in them” on a daily basis.

“This column is so absurd it should be coming from The Onion not the Washington Post. To the extent that climate change is happening, it is a global phenomenon that has been occurring for decades and decades,” Barron said. “The media won’t give Trump credit for the economy but they will blame him for a hurricane. You can’t make this stuff up.”

If Trump, who has not even been in office for two years, is complicit, than how about the Washington Post, which uses vast amounts of fossil fuels to gather, create, and disseminate the news?
