Today, a Blizzard Warning has been issued along the Interstate 10 corridor, affecting Southeastern Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. This marks the first blizzard event in the history of the Gulf Coast.

Last night, Dictator Trump signed an executive order withdrawing us from the Paris Climate Agreement. Pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement is a death sentence for millions. Scientists have warned us for decades that climate change will lead to more frequent and severe weather events—blizzards, hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts. Yet here we are, with leadership that can’t be bothered to grasp basic science.

This is what happens when an entire political movement trades reason for rhetoric. When they chant about “freedom” but can’t seem to free their brains from 19th-century fossil fuel propaganda. The uneducated right celebrates these rollbacks as if they’ve just won a cultural war when, in reality, they’ve only secured a future of misery for their children and grandchildren.

It’s a national embarrassment. The rest of the world watches in disbelief as one of the largest carbon emitters gleefully reverses course, undoing what little progress has been made. The people who cheered this move, who voted for this stupidity, are signing their own death warrants while smugly insisting they’re owning the libs.

Nothing says ‘winning’ like beachfront snowstorms and climate denial.
