This is the time that the president and the [Environmental Protection Agency] and whoever makes decision needs to talk about climate change,” Regalado said. “This is a truly, truly poster child for what is to come.” EPA administrator told CNN last week that it would be “insensitive” to discuss climate change as massive hurricanes hit the U.S. "To have any kind of focus on the cause and effect of the storm, versus helping people, or actually facing the effect of the storm, is misplaced,” he said. Hurricane Irma, a Category 3 storm, is set to hit Florida early Sunday. Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Texas and Louisiana late last month.
