You've managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target...​

Is some deity punishing California with drought?
Does that same deity need more range time.

News Outlet Rushes To Connect Fatal Lightning Strike Outside White House to Climate Change​

Four people were seriously injured last Thursday when lightning struck them in Lafayette Square, just north of the White House.

Unfortunately, three of the four people died. Those who died included a Wisconsin couple who were celebrating their 56th wedding anniversary, according to the Washington Post, and a 29-year-old from Los Angeles.

The fatal lightning strike is a “climate warning,” according to Reuters.

The news outlet, however, did not cite any actual scientists.

The only data cited was a 2014 study published in a science journal that claimed the frequency of lightning increases as the global temperature increases.

Scientists, however, believe that lightning has existed for billions of years — at least. One thus wonders how lightning is connected to climate change if it has always existed on Earth, or how frequency of lightning can be evidence of climate change when lightning has not been tracked for most of Earth’s history.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, being struck by lightning is incredibly rare. The odds of being struck, the CDC says, are less than 1 in 1 million in any given year.

Apparently didn't do any research on how often the Washington Monument gets hit, anywhere from 1 in five years to twice a year, historically.

They used the same BS last time a tornado came close.

Tornadoes have hit DC before. One of them passed over the neighborhood I was working in 1995.

It's all ignored to sell a lie.

"Whose woods these are
I think I know.
His house is in the village though;

He will not see me
stopping here,
to watch his woods fill up with climate change"

"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep;
but I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before the climate change gets deep"

I thought it was a sign from God saying Sodom was in the WH, but his aim was off.

Which is not so hard to believe. He hasn't done anything biblical since the New Testament.
Lost His touch maybe.
