While you are reading this, sitting safe in your beds, living rooms, or evening commutes, please consider the folks who may not HAVE beds or living rooms to come home to tomorrow. Hurricane Ian is an ongoing major catastrophe as I write this, and the first thing we’ll talk about is what you can do to help alleviate the suffering in the aftermath

Mr. DeSantis, a Republican widely seen as holding White House ambitions, is one of his party’s foremost political provocateurs, often appearing on national television to rail against an administration in Washington he denounces as overbearing. As recently as February, Mr. DeSantis dismissed Mr. Biden as someone who “hates Florida,” saying baselessly that he “stiffs” storm victims of relief for political reasons. But now, as Hurricane Ian threatens to inflict significant damage across Florida, Mr. DeSantis must rely on assistance from the same federal government whose public health guidance he has ridiculed during the pandemic. Beyond that, he must work with the very president he has castigated and may soon run to replace. “We all need to work together, regardless of party lines,” Mr. DeSantis said on Fox News on Tuesday night, adding that he was “thankful” for the Biden administration’s assistance. “The administration wants to help,” he said. “They realize this is a really significant storm.” Mr. Biden, in contrast to Mr. DeSantis, has for decades sold himself as an across-the-aisle deal maker.

I generally try to avoid doomism, but the point must be made:

x Climate change is making hurricanes more destructive. https://t.co/fvpZhDm0oC — Dr. Leah Stokes (@leahstokes) September 28, 2022

x The storm surge from Hurricane Ian is the “crazy variable here right now," says @BillWeirCNN from Punta Gorda, Florida. “This is exactly what climate scientists have been warning about for a long time.” https://t.co/qPONcBnBLv pic.twitter.com/aJDunN7Uzc — CNN (@CNN) September 28, 2022

The Gulf was full of warm, warm, crazy warm water. As it came across from Cuba, Hurricane Ian picked up all that energy and internalized it. That’s what climate change does.

x Nice to see Dr. Michael Mann adding perspective in terms of climate change. Hotter temperatures mean more moisture in the air & more heat in the oceans. Hurricanes happen, but a warmer world can supercharge them. @climatecentral

x Always remember that climate breakdown is only getting started. It will keep getting worse so long as the fossil fuel industry exists. Cause, effect https://t.co/xaN5bxrIOv — Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman) September 29, 2022
