Again, me thinks the writer doth protest too much.
"The amount of carbon dioxide is on the rise again... " A true statement and an accurate summary of current data.
"Our country and our planet are witnessing a turmoil of floods, fires, hurricanes and droughts. " A correct statement (and something that should be alarming). Surely one cannot argue that we are not witnessing such a turmoil.
"(C)ynobacteria can no longer absorb enough carbon dioxide in the ocean, and our vast forests aren't big enough to do the whole job either." Certainly a reasonably inferred explanation of the observed rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Here are two important and vital natural mitigating processes, but apparently they have limits. Is anyone surprised that there are limits?
Finally, regarding Hurricane Idalia. Of course hurricanes have always been with us. But this specific hurricane grew in strength while crossing a Gulf of Mexico experiencing temperatures of 100oF. That's not normal or typical.
We writers can argue, but the questions are being resolved hyper-rationally by insurance companies. They are abandoning states with high climate change risks.
