🧵 I spent a couple days last week in Benton County, just west of Linn County, where people are still reeling from the #derecho. If you thought Cedar Rapids was livid about lack of media coverage, let me tell you...I’m sorry I wasn’t there sooner. #Iowahurricane

Yes the damage if heartbreaking ... it will take generations to move beyond what's happened there!

People have already forgotten Laura. Cannot keep up with these disasters. Plus, expected heat wave in CA again. Heat waves, blackouts, fires, covid, recession. Low humidity can bring even more fires because 2020 isn't finished yet. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

MSM does not cover climate events , environmental issues, the sequela of Covid and massive unemployment because doing so would show the failings of neo-lib Dems in not supporting #GND, #M4A and #ubi.

Add it to your climate change diary. These events might become more common, and should be treated like hurricanes. More reason to rely on (non-partisan) science.
