I agree that many lives have been significantly and negatively affected by hurricane Ian. (some died) And we should keep that at the top of our minds. But, it may be edifying to discuss what warnings Ian possesses for the Florida coast and the relationship between Global Warming and hurricane intensity (and other issues). My wife suggested that after Floridians get their next homeowners' insurance bill, weather and climate change will start to BITE. Five insurance companies have pulled out of Florida. I would say that that is insurance companies with the best and brightest predicting and forecasting minds available - are saying that the Gulf water temperature is warming (like the rest of the globe) and it will RESULT in more intense hurricanes. They don't care if man or God or a tilt of the earth's axis or the tooth fairy caused the potential intensity increases - they are OUTTA HERE.
By talking about a problem we can honor those that DIED and those that are homeless by talking about the problem and coming to a greater understanding so that we can recognize future problems and be willing to empathetically do something about those future problems.
