Throwing a damper on the "it's going to be the worst of all time" crowds climate sacrament, Irma has been downgraded to Cat 3.

“If this isn’t an example of the need for term limits...I don’t know what is”.

He’s right. He doesn’t know. Much of anything apparently.

I think the mayor is correct in terms of the second part of his statement.

This is a weather change, from clement to inclement. It will son be clement again.

It’s all that wicked CO2 bringing us nemesis.

No. It’s a hurricane that actually struck land. Irma didn’t smell the CO2 and say hey, I’m going to barrel down on it. Irma is sun and water vapor powered, same as other hurricanes.

On earth, it isn’t even possible to get enough CO2 in the air to swamp out the effect of the water vapor. All our puny little fires combined can’t do it.

Well the climate did just change in Miami. Yesterday it was to be utterly destroyed by a hurricane, now it looks like some wind and rain.

It could be climate change.

It is NOT MAN made climate change.

Last Ice age was NOT man made climate change.

The Global warming which followed and melted 4 mile thick ice glaciers on top of Chicagoland was NOT man made either.

Conclusion: Climate change began 5,000,000,000 years ago.
Man could become extinct in a few million years. Climate change will go on for 5 Billion years after man becomes extinct.

Praise the Lord for small favors, I guess. Irma might actually underwhelm.

‘If this isn’t climate change, I don’t know what is’

Apparently he doesn't know what is.

Let the earth be the earth, and let God run the show. It’s all good, it’s all God. Any man trying to control the climate (or even the weather) is trying to act as a god....and that never works out.

Praise the Lord for BIG favors.

I guess He saw the chastisement would be lost on some fools, so He didn’t want to put the rest of us through the burden yet.

1935: “To our mind the catastrophe (hurricane) must be characterized as an act of God and was by its very nature beyond the power of man or instruments at his disposal"

2017: "Climate change! Man-made"

Time for the mayor to contribute. Turn off all electricity in Miami. Mandate that all transportation in his city is by bicycle. Ban all motors, electric, diesel, gasoline. Mandate that only sailboats can be used on his coast. Shut down Miami airport. Last but not least, put a cork in his azz.

Tell that to all those Spanish galleons (& others) at the bottom of the ocean in that area...you know, the one's with all those SUV's in their cargo holds!

They sank because the weather was static and the sea's were like plates of glass back then.

List of hurricanes from the past are available if the Mayor wants to look for them.

Same for Texas.

The headline should be Miami Mayor Admits He Doesn’t Know.

The mayor was elected. Those who elected this idiot must be idiots.
