    Interesting. Most red states have nothing in process or in place. But they’ll be the first one with their hand out for federal funding when the s*it hits the fan.

    It is wrong to associate weather extremes with climate change.

    This is one of the few areas of agreement between the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC).

    In 2012 the IPCC asserted that a relationship between global warming and wildfires, rainfall, storms, hurricanes, and other extreme weather events has not been demonstrated.

    In 2013 the NIPCC explained, “in no case has a convincing relationship been established between warming over the past 100 years and increases in any of these extreme events.”
