The gutter cult of climate change denial strikes again.
Last week's record-shattering snowfall and cold in greater Cincinnati is the region's costliest winter weather event in years. In one week alone, Hamilton County had to spend $900,000 to clear its roads. The city of Cincinnati spent $1.2 million. Covington spent $100,000. Even West Chester Township spent $150,000.
Who pays for it? U! That's who!
These expenses deplete local municipalities' budgets for other projects - including clearing away next year's snow that'll probably start 6 months from now. These costs deplete money for schools, libraries, housing, sanitation, and other necessities.
But according to Fox News and the rest of the right-wing noise machine, it's all a hoax. That snowstorm, all those impassable roads, and all that money spent cleaning it up? All a hoax - according to the climate change denial industry.
