    “The light at the end of the tunnel right now is about out,” he said.

    Many species that depend on a brackish mix of fresh and saltwater in coastal estuaries are decamping as this year’s huge floods flush in fresh water, laden with pollution from farms and cities in the Mississippi River basin.

    Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant asked the federal government on May 31 for a fisheries disaster declaration to make federal grants, loans and other aid available to affected people. Gov. John Bel Edwards has prepared to follow suit, asking for details to support a request for Louisiana, state fisheries officials said Thursday.

    The situation is grim: Louisiana’s oyster harvest is 80% below average for this time of year and more oysters are expected to die as temperatures rise, according to a preliminary report on the department’s website. Shrimp landings were down 63% and blue crab landings down 45% in April from the five-year average. There’s been a drop in the fish catch, but it hasn’t reached the statewide average of 35% needed for a federal fisheries disaster declaration, the report says.
    Louisiana’s oyster harvest is 80% below average for this time of year and more oysters are expected to die as temperatures rise.

    “We’ve been dealing with the river since October,” said Acy J. Cooper Jr., president of the Louisiana Shrimp Association “That’s a long time it’s been high.”

    Beyond flash floods, rivers rising more slowly in places like Iowa have threatened drinking water. In Illinois, flooding this past week has closed roads and bridges. Atlanta broke a single-day rainfall record on Saturday with 4 inches of rain. Nebraska issued a second disaster declaration last week in response to the floods.

    We should take a cue from politicians in Hawaii. They've managed to have very little climate change although it is slightly cooler in winter. September is the worst. Hot, humid and no wind. Very uncomfortable. They need to do something about that.
    No, he succeeded. Climate does not change, so they didn't change while Obama was president.

    This is normal weather for Hawaii. I lived there for some years. I know.

But thanks to floods, unrelenting rains, hail, and scores of tornadoes—nearly 200 more than average (paywall) by this point in the year—the season is off to one of the worst starts in history. #NoPlant19 is trending on Twitter.

    In Oklahoma, every county is in a state of emergency. The Midwest is having its wettest 12 months ever (paywall). These extremes follow on a blistering 2018, the fourth hottest year on Earth, just behind “2016 (warmest), 2015 (second warmest), and 2017 (third warmest),” according to the 139-year climate record of the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.

    Argument from randU fallacy. It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. It is not possible to measure the temperature of the midwest either. We don't have enough thermometers.

    Okay. Let's see you define 'climate'.

    There is no solution to 'climate change', because there is no problem of 'climate change' other than the lack of a definition for it.

    Trump rolled back EPA fuel mileage standards. That makes climate change worse. More fuel is burned than needed.

    Define 'climate change'. An undefined phrase does not get worse.
