I have just heard an official in Texas describe this as the worst flooding in American history but will it finally change Trump's mind about his attitude to climate change ?

[albaqwerty]

doubt it, it's 'just extreme weather'

[dannyk13]

This sort of weather has been experienced by the USA long before the question of climate change surfaced.

It's the hurricane season - the hurricane season happens every year - but don't let that stop you Trump bashing.

Glad to note your "concern" for the people of America Mikey. If it were anywhere in the World but America there would have been a 2 day thread running expressing pity and hoping for help for the unfortunate citizens and families. But no, we have to turn it into a Trump fest instead. Shame. I will be the first therefor to express my best wishes to the American victims and sufferers of this terrible event and hope that they can overcome the terrible damage and loss of life.

My question still stands....will this cause Trump to abandon his ridiculous stand on CC ?

[dannyk13]

Why should it?

[naomi24]

Mikey, We've been through this before - at tedious length. Why don't you take to Twitter and ask him?

[anotheoldgit]

Just another attempt at Trump bashing, nothing new or interesting here, so moves on.

[mikey4444]

The sheer number of Trumps friends here on AB still amazes me !

[ummmm]

How is it Trump bashing?

[mikey4444]

Ummm...it isn't....its just a question, that most are ignoring.

[naomi24]

Ummmm, how is it Trump bashing? Will anyone's attitude to climate change - positive or negative - prevent the hurricane season from happening? No.... but this disaster somehow involves Trump. No surprise there.

[jackthehat]

As President of the country in which it is happening, and a confirmed Climate-change denier, I think it's perfectly in order to ask the question of DJT, jnr.

I don't think it'll make a bit of difference to him, however....

[mikey4444]

Jack....it might....after all, Trump has a habit of rapidly changing his mind and words, on a daily basis !

[beso]

Trump will ignore the truth and keep repeating his "alternative facts".

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm. Bit of a naive way to have a dig at the POTUS. And I can't stand the guy.

[mikey4444]

I am not having a dig, merely asking a simple question Zacs.

[jim360]

In that case, the answer is no. A shame you asked it in this way, there have been at least three really good Trump-bashing/general Trump thread opportunities you could have taken instead of this one.

[Zacs-Master]

Give over Mikey.

[Zacs-Master]

Yeah, his defence of the pardon of Joe Arpaio for one.
