History can be a pesky thing, facts are stubborn things. Theres lots of caterwauling in the left about hurricane Irma on the heels of Harvey, being a sure sign of climate change or global warming, or climate disruption or something. A couple of days ago, king of the alarmists, Dr. Michael Mann, and his ex NCDC/NCEI toadie Dr. Thomas Peterson (architect of the Karlization of the global temperature record), penned a ridiculous op-ed in the Washinton Post....
...Only in the mind of Mann can such drivel be produced. Mann is not a hurricane expert, hes also apparently not a scholar of history.
Dr. Philip Klotzbach is both....
======================================
Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach
Harvey & #Irma made US landfall as major hurricanes ~15 days apart. Record between US major hurricane landfalls is 23 hours set in 1933.
=======================================
So the question for Mann et al. is: what drove those major hurricanes to be so close together in 1933? Surely if that happened today, it would be used to kill any doubt Right?
And what about the fact that Irma and Harvey have come in 7th and 18th compared to storms of that era, hmmm?
Inquiring minds want to know.

So how are the storms of the 1930s to be attributed to CO2-driven “climate change”????
They are a sure sign of sea level rise, albeit briefly.
Why coal of course. People were still getting home coal deliveries back then. Firewood. They burned their yard leaves, man!
/sarc
considering there were 7 previously named storms in the 2017 hurricane season that nobody remembers.
So how are the storms of the 1930s to be attributed to CO2-driven climate change????

It’s true, I pay no attention to what Albore says....
.
Twelve years went by between Katrina and Harvey. Weren’t the alarmists blaming the lack of hurricanes during that time on global warming, too?
You would figure with all the global warming going on during WW2 culminating in the atomic bombs on Japan should have created massive climate change - or something something - localized global warming?
Back at the time of Katrina the Alarmists were telling us there would be more and bigger hurricanes all the time..... they have no explanation for more than a decade of Atlantic hurricane “drought”....

Some people never grow up.
Who believes anything Mann says anymore after his thoroughly discredited “hockey stick” baloney?
It is hard compare intensity or frequency of tropical storms and hurricanes today with earlier eras, especially pre satellite (1970’s). As far as I know there models that both predict more and those that predict fewer. You can go back and forth all day. Apparently we still are.
And what about the fact that Irma and Harvey have come in 7th and 18th compared to storms of that era, hmmm?
If so, that is a good fact to have handy.
