If he had any capacity for introspection (which he almost certainly doesn&#x27;t), he would be reevaluating his denialism in the aftermath of Harvey, the tropical storm that has brought flooding and devastation to the Texas Gulf Coast.</p></div><div class="style__inContentAdMain___1xJjm"><div class="ad-unit style__adHighlight___1sFUC"><div style="width:320px;height:50px"></div></div></div><div data-node="node-2" class=""><p>In March of last year, <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/houston/?wpisrc=nl_energy202&amp;wpmm=1" target="_blank">ProPublica published an article</a> that seems downright ominous in light of the devastation wrought by Harvey on Houston and neighboring areas of Texas. &quot;Houston is the fourth-largest city in the country,&quot; the piece warned. &quot;It&#x27;s home to the nation&#x27;s largest refining and petrochemical complex, where billions of gallons of oil and dangerous chemicals are stored. And it&#x27;s a sitting duck for the next big hurricane.&quot;</p></div><div data-node="node-4" class=""><p>As it turns out, one major factor that could also have also contributed to this storm has received surprisingly little attention — man-made climate change.</p></div><div data-node="node-6" class=""><p>&quot;Harvey is an example of precisely the sort of thing we’ve been warning about: more intense storms with bigger storm surge, more moisture because of a warmer atmosphere, leading to much greater rainfall and flooding,&quot; climatologist Michael E. Mann told Salon via email.</p></div><div data-node="node-8" class=""><p><span style="font-weight:400">Mann also said it&#x27;s possible that climate change made the storm linger in place longer and made its effects more severe, although that remains a contentious area of research. &quot;There are some tentative connections between climate change and stalled weather systems suggesting that climate change <em>could</em> have played a role in the way the storm got stuck in place,&quot; he wrote. &quot;But, as I said, that is </span><span style="font-weight:400">much more tenuous and at the cutting edge of what we can currently say from the science.&quot;</span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="style__postSection___vysmH"><div id="postSection-2"><div class="style__postBody___3bU3q"></div></div></div><div class="style__sponsoredStoriesMainSmall___1oW0H" data-obwidget-id="AR_8"></div><div class="style__postSection___vysmH"><div id="postSection-3"><div class="style__postBody___3bU3q"><div class="style__nativoArticleMobile___25sTS"><div class="nativoArticlePage_1 style__nativoArticleMain___39AJp"></div></div></div></div></div><div data-tout-player-disabled="1" class="style__hidden___3BAqz"></div><div class="style__postSection___vysmH"><div id="postSection-4"><div class="style__postBody___3bU3q"><div><div data-node="node-10" class=""><p>Climatologist Kevin Trenberth made similar observations. &quot;Sea surface temperatures are higher because of climate change and that contributes to the intensity and amount of precipitation with regard to Harvey,&quot; Trenberth told Salon.</p></div><div data-node="node-12" class=""><p>Andrew Dessler, professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&amp;M University, said that more government regulation on the development of wetlands and prairies could help coastal communities deal with the inevitability of strong storms, but he was pessimistic that any action would be taken because of Harvey.</p></div><div data-node="node-14" class=""><div>
<div>&quot;I&#x27;m afraid that we&#x27;re doomed to just repeat these disasters, one after the other, because we just won&#x27;t tolerate the government doing anything to save us from ourselves,&quot; Dessler said. &quot;That&#x27;s in some sense why nothing ever happens on this because people are so opposed to government regulation.

And it's a sitting duck for the next big hurricane.\"\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it turns out, one major factor that could also have also contributed to this storm has received surprisingly little attention — man-made climate change.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Harvey is an example of precisely the sort of thing we’ve been warning about: more intense storms with bigger storm surge, more moisture because of a warmer atmosphere, leading to much greater rainfall and flooding,\" climatologist Michael E.
