When you're roasting because the temperature outside is 20 degrees higher than it's ever been, or your home is washed away because of epic flooding, go ahead and deny global warming. But be just as willing to deny federal disaster aid because, remember, there's no problem..

They condemn people for taking "handouts" from government. And the second they are in trouble themselves, they demand help from the government. You don't need to look far into Florida. When Florida got hit by hurricane, they wanted federal help. But they (the senators) were also the ones who voted no for disaster relief for NY.
