1930s had bigger hurricanes spaced more closely together.... #Irma and #Harvey are strong but far from unprecedented in the past century's record (never mind what may have happened over centuries and millenia).

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!

considering there were 7 previously named storms in the 2017 hurricane season that nobody remembers.

I guess you weren’t paying attention when you An Inconvenient Truth and manbearpig told us that the relationship between atmospheric carbon and global temperature is “complicated”.

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”....

Evolution Theory doubters were told throughout the years that it would be impossible for a world wide consensus of science communities to censor data and falsify evidence in a gigantic science hoax.
While perhaps not ready to examine Evolution Theory closely, many Global Warming skeptics can now at least say "Yes, it's possible for such a thing to happen."

Oh come on now... there were no major hurricanes when Obama was President. Trump is not even done with his first year and already Gaia is responding angrily... Trump must have a hurricane machine. Just wait until he gets his hands on Cheney and Rove's earthquake machine...

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?
Wait, I thought Irma was the biggest or most powerful ever measured in the Atlantic. Is that not true? There were worse in the ‘30s?
If so, that is a good fact to have handy.
