“The extreme events are more extreme. The hurricane scale used to be 1-5 and now they’re adding a 6,” - Al Gore

No Al we need to add a zero both for hurricanes and for you.

[eartick]

Boy I hope not. That is when we get our good rain in September and we have not had any for a while.

[null and void]

They’re just on hiatus until a republican gets in office (sorta like the homeless...).

"Al Gore: Well, it's one bigger, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be calling it at at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your radar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Al Gore: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Al Gore: Eleven. Exactly. One bigger.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten bigger and make ten be the top number and make that a little bigger?

Al Gore: [pause] These go to eleven.

This is an “el nino” year: translation - fewer hurricanes. No need to be a meteorologist to understand that. Just look at history ... oh wait ... they have to fill empty hours on the Weather Channel so any discussion is up for grabs.

But, but I thought Michael Moore lectured to us following Hurricane Katrina that we were going to get at least one Katrina like storm every year going forward and that that was the fault of the Republicans for refusing to believe in global warming.

Every time someone on the coast of Africa expels gas, the National Weather Service names it, so they can count it as a tropical storm and then a hurricane.

If there are no more major storms, we definitely don’t need to pay big salaries to hundreds of federal employees looking at empty screens. With the excellent job that our television stations do with their weather coverage, the NWS is redundant and should be eliminated.

This is the same kind of talk that was going around back in 1969....about a month before we got "Camille".

To borrow a good quote "It ain't over 'til it's over".

Hurricane season ends on November 30 and not a day sooner.

We got hurricane "Kate" here in Panama City,FL about two days before Thanksgiving in 1985.

Al Gore says we are all doomed. Unless we let him determine how we live.

[GregNH]

I think all this global warming is drying them all up! I mean doesn’t heat cause water to evaporate?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like maybe the FEMA guys can join with the ICE guys and go on a nice long, extended fishing and camping trip. They’ll probably be having a lot of free time on their hands.

[Tzimisce]

Global Warming scientists (who are never wrong) have already told us that there will be more hurricanes and they will be a lot worse.

“Are We Shifting to Fewer, Weaker Atlantic Hurricanes?”

We are already there.

[smokingfrog]

Hard to say.

Lemmie check my computer model...

[Amagi]

Are We Shifting to Fewer, Weaker Atlantic Hurricanes?

Ten years ago Algore was preaching the exact opposite of that was going to be the new reality because of --- wait for it --- global warming.

[bestintxas]

“We” ain’t shifting at all.

We call that weather, fella.
