Hurricane Harvey Makes Media Silent On Climate Change — The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines an Intercept report by Naomi Klein regarding Hurricane Harvey striking Texas and the glaring silence from corporate media outlets on the role of climate change. Graham discusses how warmer sea temperatures intensify severe weather, the absurdity of claiming we shouldn't "politicise" natural disasters, the denialism fuelled by the fossil fuel industry, and the urgent need to transition to green energy.
