"WASHINGTON - In the Trump administration's list of dos and don'ts, 'climate change' is out and 'resilience' is in.

The word choices by administration officials -- and the extent to which they're going to avoid referencing global warming altogether -- are notable in the aftermath of recent severe hurricanes and in the face of questions about what could have caused them.

In the wake of Hurricane Irma, both Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long and acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke avoided explicitly answering whether the government needs to be more focused on climate change because of hurricanes.

Instead, they both said the focus should be on resiliency."
