Houston's lesbian mayor is likely to be the cause of Hurricane Harvey!

More than 50 inches of rain have fallen on Texas from Storm Harvey, setting a new record for the continental United States, according to the National Weather Service. 

Ann Coulter
The right-wing commentator managed, in one sentence, to rubbish climate change and reunite that old argument that homosexuals can cause bad weather. She tweeted that it's more credible that Houston electing a lesbian mayor is more likely to be the cause of the storm than climate change. 



Oh wait, "climate change" - We can't miss off those all-important quotation marks Coulter used. 
Annise Parker

The comment refers to Annise Danette Parker is an American politician who served as the 61st Mayor of Houston, Texas, from 2010 until 2016. She also served as an at-large member of the Houston City Council from 1998 to 2003 and city controller from 2004 to 2010. Wikipedia

Personally like many, why did Ann Coulter even open her mouth!

Arctic stronghold of world’s seeds flooded after permafrost melts

But all is well no seeds were lost. It was designed as an impregnable deep-freeze to protect the world’s most precious seeds from any global disaster and ensure humanity’s food supply forever. But the Global Seed Vault, buried in a mountain deep inside the Arctic circle, has been breached after global warming produced extraordinary temperatures over the winter, sending melt water gushing into the entrance tunnel.
