Democrats continue to emphasize relationship between climate change and more intense weather when campaigning in flooded midwestern states.
As Democrats are vying for the 2020 nomination, many of them are talking about environmental issues in a way that conflates specific storms and extreme weather events with the broader impacts of climate change.
More than half of Americans said they saw climate change as responsible for the severity of hurricanes in 2017, a big increase over the prior 10 years according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll. Multiple candidates reference extreme weather in their climate change platform and in recent weeks at least two candidates, Gov. Jay Inslee who has centered his campaign on climate change and Sen. Elizabeth Warren released videos connecting the storms and flooding in Iowa to climate change.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg has also made the connection in reference to flooding in Indiana, saying the image he thinks about with climate change is helping families in South Bend during recent floods. Diffenbaugh said it's important to acknowledge how climate change is influencing weather patterns so the country's infrastructure can prepare for the potential for more frequent or more damaging storms, but that it's also important to stick to the evidence of what we know.
