Extreme weather is the convergence of 4 Great Universal Elements (土火水风)Matter, Temperature, Liquid, Air - known as the Rupa (Matter) Karmic Elements.

They are influence by Nama (Mental) Karmic Elements - whether by Wholesome Menatal States or Unwholesome Mental States.

Currently, Earth is influence by Unwholesome (Nama) Mental States of 贪嗔痴 - Greed, Hatred, Ignorance of the Universal Law - lead to convergence of 4 Great Universal Elements of Extreme temperatures.

The only antidote is transformed into Wholesome (Nama) Mental States of 无我,慈悲,般若智慧 - No-Self, Universal Compassion, Panna Wisdom.

大地万法,唯心造。
因果因缘生。
Earth (Universal Condition) - transform from the Heart - when the right condition arise.

See now US will have to subject to the karmic elements of (土火水风)Matter, Temperature, Liquid, Air - known as the Rupa (Matter) Karmic Elements - as Trump pull out from the Paris Climate Agreement.

土 (Matter) - California mudslide
火 (Fire Temperature) - California forest fire
水风 (Water, Air) - 4 Hurricanes - Irma, Harvey, Maria, Nates

You determine your own fate. (ie. You reap what you sow) (You ask for it, you get it).
You say is a hoax (Now nature of 4 Great Universal Elements come back and tell you is not a hoax).

Make security strategy include climate again, lawmakers urge Trump

A group of more than 100 bipartisan lawmakers in the U.S. House urged President Donald Trump on Friday to reconsider the omission of climate change from his administration's national security strategy, saying it is a step backward on science.

WASHINGTON: A group of more than 100 bipartisan lawmakers in the U.S. House urged President Donald Trump on Friday to reconsider the omission of climate change from his administration's national security strategy, saying it is a step backward on science.
In December, a new national security strategy document dropped former President Barack Obama's description of climate change as a national security threat.
Climate will also be omitted from a Pentagon strategy document to be released later this month, an official has said.
"Failing to recognise this threat ... represents a significant step backwards on this issue and discredits those who deal in scientific fact," said the letter, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.
The letter was addressed to Trump, a Republican, and signed by 106 U.S. representatives.
The lawmakers, representing nearly a quarter of the House, said they have heard from scientists and military leaders who believe climate change is a "direct threat" to the country.
The letter was spearheaded by Representative James Langevin, a Rhode Island Democrat, who last year introduced a measure into the defence policy bill that said climate change threatens the United States. Representative Elise Stefanik, a Republican, also signed the letter.
Trump signed the defence bill in December. He has vowed to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord but said this week that the administration "could conceivably go back in" to the agreement.
U.S. military leaders have long been concerned about climate change. In written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee after his confirmation hearing last year, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis wrote that "climate change can be a driver of instability" and "a challenge that requires a broader, whole-of-government response." The testimony was first published by ProPublica.
Retired top U.S. military officers and former national security officials have said storms, droughts and floods made more intense by climate change can be a burden on the Pentagon by fuelling unrest in unstable countries and boosting the need for humanitarian missions.
The U.S. military also faces risks from climate a few hours' drive from the White House. The main road to the U.S. Naval Station in Norfolk, Virginia, the world's largest naval base, experiences chronic flooding, and electric and water utilities supporting it are threatened during frequent flooding.
Other Republicans signing the letter included Representatives Carlos Curbelo, Ryan Costello and Brian Fitzpatrick.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment on the letter.
