ABC News links extreme weather to climate change, in no uncertain terms



And once again tonight, flooding, tornadoes, hail, and fire as the nation takes another punch from mother nature and climate. ABC’s Clayton Sandell shows us what the weather and climate are doing and what it’s costing us.

Drought and heat waves, another $30 billion. Fighting the black forest fire here in colorado has already cost more than $10 million. And that doesn’t even count the cost of more than 500 homes that burned to the ground.

Scientists say human-caused climate change is already helping shift the planet’s natural balance. Creating more heat waves, drought, and intense downpours. A stormy and expensive reality, that’s already on our doorsteps.

It is shocking to me that it has taken so long. But ABC has been fairly decent in recent months. They do seem to be at least finally telling the truth on this issue.
