Federal figures put the cost of damages from Katrina in 2005 that devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast at $160 billion, and from Sandy in the New York and New Jersey area in 2012 at around $70 billion. Early estimates on the potential damages from Harvey vary, but experts are anticipating losses totaling tens of billions of dollars.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">In recent years, Congress has faced unprecedented partisan divides over Washington's role in meeting those costs. In 2005, Vice President Mike Pence, then a Republican congressman from Indiana, led an effort by House conservatives to offset any post-Katrina aid with offsetting budget cuts in other programs, including highway projects and the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. "We simply can't allow a catastrophe of nature to become a catastrophe of debt for our children and grandchildren," Pence said at the time. </div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">Even more partisan -- and regional -- conflict flared after Sandy slammed into New York and New Jersey just before the 2012 presidential election. That storm precipitated a succession of confrontations between conservative Republicans in both chambers against a coalition of Republicans from the region and Democrats.</div><div class="el__embedded el__embedded--standard"><div class="el__storyelement--standard el__article--embed"><div class="el__article--teaseimage"><a href="/2017/08/25/us/hurricane-harvey-compare-storms-trnd/index.html" ><img class="media__image media__image--responsive" alt="How Harvey compares to other major hurricanes" data-src-mini="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-small-169.jpg" data-src-xsmall="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-medium-plus-169.jpg" data-src-small="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-large-169.jpg" data-src-medium="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-exlarge-169.jpg" data-src-large="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-super-169.jpg" data-src-full16x9="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-full-169.jpg" data-src-mini1x1="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-small-11.jpg"  data-demand-load="not-loaded" data-eq-pts="mini: 0,  xsmall: 221,  small: 308,  medium: 461,  large:  781" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhEAAJAJEAAAAAAP///////wAAACH5BAEAAAIALAAAAAAQAAkAAAIKlI+py+0Po5yUFQA7"><div class="img__preloader"></div><noscript><img alt="How Harvey compares to other major hurricanes" class="media__image" src="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825133856-01-hurricane-harvey-0824-large-169.jpg"></noscript></a></div><div class="media__caption el__storyelement__title"><span class="el__storyelement__header"><a href="/2017/08/25/us/hurricane-harvey-compare-storms-trnd/index.html">How Harvey compares to other major hurricanes</a></span></div></div></div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">In those debates, Mick Mulvaney, now director of the Office of Management and Budget and then a Republican congressman from South Carolina, echoed Pence during Katrina by proposing legislation to offset Sandy aid with across-the-board reductions in domestic programs. That amendment failed, but over two-thirds of House Republicans voted for it, including an array of prominent Texans still in Congress. That list of supporters included Representatives Kevin Brady (now chair of the House Ways and Means Committee); Jeb Hensarling (now chair of the House Financial Services Committee) and Pete Sessions.

The tactical problem is that it ensures a more partisan and protracted Congressional debate. The philosophical problem may be even more telling. Demanding cuts sets the interests of one geographic area against the national web of communities reliant on the programs facing reductions. In essence, demanding that some communities suffer funding losses in ongoing programs to offset assistance to places facing acute needs undermines the core idea that government exists in part to help share risks that individuals, and even individual communities, cannot reasonably bear alone.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">"Saying, 'we will do this for hurricanes in the Gulf Coast or the East Coast or tornadoes in the Midwest or earthquakes in California,' is a way of saying government as a social institution is there to help society deal with things that at the levels of individuals you can't reasonably be expected to deal with," said Richard Kogan, a senior analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities a liberal research and advocacy group.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">These earlier skirmishes raise the question of whether Congressional conservatives, including those from Texas, will again insist on offsetting any aid for Houston and the Gulf Coast with spending cuts elsewhere. Such a move would inevitably extend the Congressional debate over aid and provoke an instant partisan split.

Climate change is warming both the ocean and the air.  In addition, higher sea levels mean greater storm surge. As we're seeing with Harvey, the combination is devastating: powerful winds, incessant downpours, significant flooding. "</div><div class="el__embedded el__embedded--standard"><div class="el__storyelement--standard el__article--embed"><div class="el__article--teaseimage"><a href="/2017/08/28/us/harvey-effect-on-houston-then-now-trnd/index.html" ><img class="media__image media__image--responsive" alt="This is Houston.

Nielsen-Gammon, the Texas State climatologist and a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&amp;M, was quick to argue that it was premature to directly link Harvey specifically to changes in the climate. "The climate change impact on the strength of Harvey is unknown; climate change is expected to increase the intensity of the strongest storms, but it's not clear whether Harvey was in that category," he wrote me.  </div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">But Nielsen-Gammon added that the overall trajectory of extreme weather in Texas is unmistakable-and strongly linked to climate change. "Extreme rainfall, however, is getting heavier: The south-central United States has seen an increase in the frequency and intensity of one-day and two-day extreme rainfall events," he wrote. "My own analysis of Texas data shows an increase of about 30% in the likelihood of passing a given threshold [of total rain amount] in a given year, which corresponds to about a 5% increase in the intensity of the strongest rainfall over the past century."</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">That shift, he continued, "is a direct consequence of climate change and is expected to continue." Like Lubchenco and other climate scientists, Nielsen-Gammon said the increasing incidence of heavy storms is "driven by rising atmospheric temperatures and rising sea surface temperatures, which affect the capacity of the atmosphere to hold moisture and increases the total amount of water that can rain out when the air is saturated."</div><div class="el__embedded el__embedded--standard"><div class="el__storyelement--standard el__article--embed"><div class="el__article--teaseimage"><a href="/2017/08/28/us/hurricane-harvey-flooding-rescues-trnd/index.html" ><img class="media__image media__image--responsive" alt="Trapped Texas residents face desperate waiting game" data-src-mini="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-small-169.jpg" data-src-xsmall="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-medium-plus-169.jpg" data-src-small="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-large-169.jpg" data-src-medium="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-exlarge-169.jpg" data-src-large="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-super-169.jpg" data-src-full16x9="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-full-169.jpg" data-src-mini1x1="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-small-11.jpg"  data-demand-load="not-loaded" data-eq-pts="mini: 0,  xsmall: 221,  small: 308,  medium: 461,  large:  781" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhEAAJAJEAAAAAAP///////wAAACH5BAEAAAIALAAAAAAQAAkAAAIKlI+py+0Po5yUFQA7"><div class="img__preloader"></div><noscript><img alt="Trapped Texas residents face desperate waiting game" class="media__image" src="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170828141555-23-harvey-0828-large-169.jpg"></noscript></a></div><div class="media__caption el__storyelement__title"><span class="el__storyelement__header"><a href="/2017/08/28/us/hurricane-harvey-flooding-rescues-trnd/index.html">Trapped Texas residents face desperate waiting game</a></span></div></div></div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">President Donald Trump has dismissed climate change as a "hoax"; the Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of uprooting the major regulatory initiatives Obama undertook to reduce carbon emissions from power plants, cars and trucks.
