Ronald Klain, former chief of staff to Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore, apparently did not learn a whole lot in science class. He claims that climate change caused Hurricane Harvey and that President Trump is somewhat responsible for being a denier.
Gee, I wonder what might cause an unprecedented storm? Could it be something that you said DOES NOT EXIST? https://t.co/UiUS6O0jcw

Absent in his reasoning is the fact that weather and climate are two different phenomena.

Old and busted: Climate isn't weather.
New hotness: Weather is climate.

But never let science get in the way of some hack-tastic political spin, right?
It's called weather dumbass! It's hurricane season! https://t.co/FCKtvxLu3s

Or it could be that they call them 100, 500, 1000, etc. year flood events for a reason…

Some on the Left may even think that if President Trump had not withdrawn from the Paris Climate Accord, there would have been no wind, rain or flooding in Texas.
