Are we ready for this summer?

Hurricanes, floods and fires are already predicted this year.
My question is, how will this affect November and the elections?
Could be the issue that tips the elections for Democrats. The Publican Party has no answers, only denial.

We are due for a higher level of symbiosis. Adjustments have been made. We will surprisingly have higher temps, but lower volatility surrounding the heat, with plenty of rain but fewer hurricanes. Tornados being the outlier unknown.

Voters don't link weather and political policies or platforms. They just want cheap gas and more burgers.

The one bragging right we have is the rapid movement we've made to solar and wind generated electricity. 30% in what, 4-6 years? And Biden's policies accelerated it, and it's making for cheaper electricity than would be otherwise.
