Letters: Only the GOP denies humanity's effect on climate change
Briefly

Man-made climate change significantly affects weather patterns, increasing instances of severe flooding and associated tragedies, as shown by recent events in Texas. It is noted that the Republican party is uniquely positioned in the developed world in denying these effects, which poses risks to public safety. Additionally, funding for training programs managed by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation is crucial for providing students access to scientific training, which has proven successful in cultivating future professionals in the sciences.
As a grandfather of children the age of those caught in the exceptional river flooding in Texas Hill Country, I am horrified at the death toll of such young and innocent children.
Man-made climate interference increased the magnitude of the downpour as warmer temperatures cause more moisture in the atmosphere.
Until recently, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation managed programs that broadened science training access to exactly these students.
85% of trainees pursued careers in science, creating a vibrant workforce ready to tackle pressing health problems.
