with me for tonight's rubble or dave mccall a national g.o.p. strategist and sam sex writer co-founder of the district's sentinel news co-op thank you both for being with us tonight thanks don good to have you both with us as super storms like hurricane harvey and hurricane irma become what the new normal we are seeing firsthand what happens when an industry in this case the fossil fuel industry does not pay to dispose of its own waste so that that waste fossil fuel waste of carbon products going in the air the air is warmed up the oceans are warmed up there's more water there's more air there's more violence in our storms all this death and destruction that's happening you know a number of scientists have said at least thirty percent of the severity this is directly attributable to global warming why not have a carbon tax so that the fossil fuel companies are paying for their own externalities they're paying for their own waste was like a great idea to me i mean there's some cruel irony in the fact that we have three named hurricanes out there
