All week some of the very worst people in climate activism have been trying to make political mileage out of Hurricane Harvey.
They range from the inevitable Naomi Klein…
NOW IS EXACTLY the time to talk about climate change, and all the other systemic injustices — from racial profiling to economic austerity — that turn disasters like Harvey into human catastrophes.
…and the inevitable Michael “Hide the Decline” Mann…

Two words that @realDonaldTrump or @FEMA_Brock has 100% failed to use in this crisis – climate change. You cannot hide from it!

As scientists – or, in Klein’s case, people with pretensions to having scientific evidence on their side – they really ought to know better than to pin man-made climate change on a natural meteorological event which has nothing whatsoever to do with man-made climate change.
