Bigger Tornados Are Powered By Fossil Fuel Billionaires
By Thom Hartmann A...
All across Europe, when weather is severe and absolutely record-breaking, typically news reports point out that this is one of the predicted results of the current level of global warming. That kind of reporting is almost entirely absent here in the United States, because of the power and influence of fossil fuel billionaires on the Republican Party.Americans need to know that the atmosphere has 6% more moisture in it now than it did just 50 years ago because of global warming, and more moisture means bigger tornadoes, more violent thunderstorms, worse flooding, and epidemics of wildfires.
And all the responsibility for it can be laid at the feet of the fossil fuel industry that is, every day, pumping more millions into the coffers of Republican politicians and the media.

Changes occurring on the planet are caused by human activity and people should look for options to prevent major disasters.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
In Republican bizarro world, filthy rich donors "Trump" their base of ignorant fools who don't deserve the many wonderful benefits of our social democracy, which they take for granted yet work to destroy. Neither does this authoritarian cult of fascists deserve our once remarkable paradise called Earth, which they also take for granted yet work to destroy.
