Commenting on Moshe Eskenazi's Blog Post

This is in response to Moshe Eskenazi's thoughts on climate change.

I agree with you entirely. I believe that the recent hurricanes are of much more importance to us here in Texas, to the people in Puerto Rico, and to the people in Florida than new tax laws or birth control debates, at least for right now. I also believe that the politicians who are in power currently have consistently proven that they are only worried about their next campaign and getting votes. I think that the Trump campaign is mostly worried about keeping their people in office, and so they are only talking and trying to pass laws which benefit their cause. They know that most people think that there is nothing that can be done about preventing the natural disasters, so they don't bother to even bring it up. I think that this falls under the "Non-governmentally-educated people voting" heading, and it's something that could be rectified if everyone were taught the basics of Government. Aside from that obvious solution, one of the things we can do as members of everyday society is try to bring awareness to the people around us. Really corny, I know, but I think it could work. Even if they don't believe it, if you put a suggestion into a person's head, it is very hard to get rid of it.

After Hurricane Maria, President Trump sent the barest minimum of help to the country of Puerto Rico, giving them enough help to get 20% of the island safe water to drink. Then he stopped. In an interview with the president of Puerto Rico, he was asked what rating he would give the work that the White House had done, rated on a scale of one to ten. Trump said that he would give the efforts of the White House a ten, since the storm was so much worse than some of the earlier ones. According to this article from "Thinkprogress", President Trump asked whether they had done a good job of providing relief. The president of Puerto Rico responded with a slightl...
