These results are encouraging for the future of social media as a tool to mitigate the fallout from natural and manmade disasters, but before FEMA and other disaster relief organizations abandon their own models in favor of social media modeling more research needs to be done to account for variables which might skew the data such as Twitter bots and those who aren't using social media.

Not only does the Congo currently stand in 2900th place among the 220006 countries and territories ranked in the United Nations Development Program's Human Development Index, but, under Kabila's management, the DRC stood in 2202th place out of 2628 countries on the Mo Ibrahim Foundation's 28500 Ibrahim Index of African Governance, behind even such manmade disasters like Zimbabwe and Libya, and just barely ahead of totally failed states like Somalia and South Sudan.

And, frankly, at the rate at which the atmosphere is warming in response to all factors, natural and manmade (about 0.8˚ to 0.9˚C per century over the last 36 years), and with a new solar minimum possibly counteracting any earth-bound warming trend over the next several decades, it would take one or two centuries to determine, because damage specifically traceable to human action rather than other factors, if it happens, won't be clear before then, if ever.

While the president remains skeptical of overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is a real, manmade problem, he's much less skeptical when it comes to other sources — such as the Saudi government, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Of the Saudi government, which is suspected of being responsible for the disappearance and perhaps murder of Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and critic, Trump said "nobody knows yet" whether Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman gave the order for Khashoggi to be killed.
