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.

Had a poster in forum trying to say Harvey was somehow magically different and unprecedented.
He wouldn’t listen to history or fact either.
Oh well.
I seem to recall reading that archeaological evidence says the southern coast used to see much worse more often.
Measuring by landfall air pressure Irma is tied for 7th. Measuring by landfall wind speed Irma is tied for 14th.
Serious storm but far far from unprecedented.

Excellent — thanks!
The Alarmists try to claim special status for Harvey due to the high volume of precipitation, but that was driven by the fact that it stalled in one area over Texas rather than moving on, and that was not “climate change” but simply the transitory atmospheric front and wind conditions which happened to prevail in those couple of days.
Not CLIMATE CHANGE. =====> CLIMATE MANIPULATION !
there is no useful retort- the world is convinced of the lie that man is causing climate change- trying to speak with those folks is like arguing with bricks- you just get a blank stare back fro m them and it goes right over their heads- there is no convincing them
Ping.
Yes, they conveniently ignore that fact.
Also, it had to sit for five days to make the record and the 24 hour record rainfall is 42 inches.
Which is way worse, actually.
said, "So how are the storms of the 1930s to be attributed to CO2-driven climate change????"
That is easy. it was the time of the depression. Humans used less energy and less coal was burned. thus the temperature of the earth became cooler. Creating a temperature difference in the oceans. Resulting is larger storms.
Now give me my check please.
When Reagan first entered the Oval Office, he reportedly asked “Where’s the lever I use to control gas prices?”
Haaa, yeah because we had such precise scientific measurements for the past 10,000 years or so....
Thanks.
