Was Camille (1969) caused by "cllmate change"?
Was the Great New England Hurricane (1938) caused by "climate change"?
Was the Galveston Hurricane (1900) caused by "climate change"?
When I was a kid on Long Island, there were 10 hurricanes between 1954-1964, two of which rearranged the barrier islands and created new inlets while destroying old ones. Since then, there have been two. Is that "climate change"?
Hurricanes & other severe storms come & go in their frequency & severity,but the lunatics seem to be forever with us. Some of you will remember the awful blizzard of 1949. I don’t recall anyone at the time suggesting it was “man-caused climate change” or suggesting that we could do anything about changing it......but to dig out afterwards.
Where’s the proof that global warming caused Harvey, or that global warming is man-caused? I’m still waiting!!
...After a devastating hurricane, Trump still picks a climate change denier to head NASA...
And???
“””hurricanes are wreaking ever-more havoc”””
Yes, a hurricane in 2017 will probably wreak more havoc than a hurricane in 1950 did.
But, the increased havoc is the result of new, fancy, and expensive buildings that have been constructed along the East Coast and Gulf Coast of the USA.
In 1950 many people built homes on the barrier islands of Florida. But those 1950 homes were cheaply built because the owner fully expected a hurricane would eventually blow the building down or flood.
Trump has made an error here—the administrator of Never A Straight Answer has a duty to lie, lie, lie...and we should be glad the New York Times is demanding this practice continue. ;-)
ROFL!!!!
Headline is another strong entry in the annual Non-Sequitur of the Year competition. :)
There’s enough smug presumption in the headline to fill every pot and pan in Aspen.
"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.
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
Daily News is NYT lite...depends on advertising to exist
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!
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.
