You should probably learn the term compound climate event. It refers to the occurrence of multiple weather- or climate-related hazards happening simultaneously or in close succession, leading to amplified impacts.

One of the most feared compound events is a hurricane causing massive infrastructure damage followed by extreme heat. If the damage caused a blackout, it could leave a huge population without access to air conditioning, leading to heat-related illnesses and fatalities.

This is far from a theoretical occurrence: It just happened in Houston when Hurricane Beryl hit the city, knocking out power for days.

 

This means that it's possible for the Harris to win the congressional district including Omaha, and thereby obtain one electoral vote. If this happens, and she wins the Blue Wall states, she gets to 270 electoral votes and wins the election.

Stop trying to justify your hate speech.

That's a very different claim from the one you started with: that the conversion of immigrants who have lived in the United States for 5+ years will somehow "destroy" society.

The latter is hate speech.

Claiming that naturalization of people who already live in the US will "destroy societies" is absolutely pushing hate.

This is naturalization of people who have been in the US for a long time already. So they've already got jobs, housing, and legitimate visas.

But you look to be interested in pushing hate, not having a reasonable discussion.

There's a fair bit of evidence that it doesn't hurt, but it might be good enough to get a fresh booster every six months. In the US, you can do that if you're age 65+; otherwise stuck with one/year.

I don't think it is; the one that that account had that wasn't initially sourced elsewhere was a photo of the plane tying it to the Trump campaign and showing the tail number. Per the article local news subsequently posted such a photo

That's why they included the links that person provided, which document the historical ownership of the plane.

The NYT has managed to be wildly profitable, even as most local news has folded.

"the party" is elected too. You can change it much as a bunch of Sanders supporters went and got rules changed to make it easier to launch primary challenges.

What we get is going to depend on who we elect. We can vote for more and better Democrats...or choose to elect people who want to maximize environmental damage.

We know it's not enough; but it's a large part of what we need. And that we got the the point of having enough votes is a big deal.

It didn't happen instantly though; we got steadly increasing numbers of votes over a several decade period, including examples where votes weren't held there wouldn't be enough to act.
