"the Arctic ice is melting " would that be the same ice that stopped a ship of moonbats from proving the ice is melting, AGAIN??? and what the hell does NASA have to do with gloBULL warming anyway?

And all this time I thought Obamas picks would have saved the world by now.
Yes, the proper way to compare costs is either using damage as a percent of GDP, or normalizing the damage for the increased insured value of property. Real estate inflation in cities like Miami have far exceeded GDP or other price inflation.
POLL: Does Hurricane Harvey prove the man-made Global Warming threat?
Does Hurricane Harvey prove the man-made Global Warming threat?
Yes - Human activity is to blame for the destruction
No - Harvey was the first Category 3+ hurricane to reach the U.S. in almost 12 years
I’m not sure
Few deny that the Earth’s climate can change...they can however deny that man has anything to do with it.
Of course they know this but they choose to lie and leave out the “man made” part of it.
because Ivanka is calling the shots.../s
I was just a kid when I learned that denying the holocaust was illegal in Germany. I thought that was the stupidest thing I ever heard of, and I was happy I lived in a country where people were free to say anything they wanted too, even if they were making fools of themselves or insulting some. Times have changed.
Daily News is NYT lite...depends on advertising to exist
Come on, everybody knows it was caused by the eclipse.
The term “consensus” is never discussed in the definition of “The Scientific Method”.

“””hurricanes are wreaking ever-more havoc each time one pummels another part of the country.”””
Let’s look at the population in the Greater Houston area. In 1950 there were less than 1 million people living there. Today, there are more than 6 million people living in the Greater Houston area.
Yes, Harvey set a new rainfall record, but there have been several other past hurricanes that have dumped 30 inches or more rain. So it was not a totally unusual event.
Would Harvey had caused the damage it did if there had only been 1 million people living in the Greater Houston Area? How much damage if Harvey had happened in 1950?
When people choose to live along low-lying coastal areas and inland flood plains, they need to accept the risk for doing so. The real estate developers can build levees, dikes, or retention ponds in low lying areas, but those man made structures may not be enough.
Here is a thought. Maybe we have enough people already in the USA and we do not need to have more people living along the East and Gulf Coast or more people living in earthquake prone West Coast. Maybe the financial risk of hurricanes and earthquakes in heavily populated cities is too great.

LOLOL!!! It is just BRILLIANT how you post that picture without commentary after everyone of these!! And, amazingly, I’m always taken by surprise and LOL! Good work!
There were others with much more rainfall in 24 hours (e.g. TS Claudette, 1979). Others that stalled and dumped a lot of rain (e.g. TS Allison in 2001). But none with this amount of rain over a wide area due to stalling plus intensity, in the history of US rainfall measurements (caveats: historical measurements are probably inadequate before the 1940's, US mainland only) As people have pointed out, Hawaii and Central America have had higher rainfall events.
I do surveys periodically for extra money. Within 24 hours of the hurricane, I did 2 different surveys asking how much I linked climate change to the hurricane.
They were doing surveys to get poll results to report.
“There is no denying that our weather is getting more severe”
There seems to be an infinite supply of climate change alarmists that are deniers of facts, and just repeat misinformation that meets their agenda.
The facts say that the number and severity of “extreme” storms over even just the last 100 years do not reflect an increase in recent years, over historic instances. The “climate change” agenda advocates ARE the real deniers.
Another point - when does the difference of an inch or two of rain, over previous “extreme” hurricane events amount to a trend of unprecedented nature? It doesn’t.
And was that amount of rain derived from “greater heat energy” of Harvey? No. It was due to a colder front that Harvey ran into which stilled its advance inland and kept it over Houston longer, until it retreated.
