Global cooling alert.

I wish the heat dome would break over Texas. It’s getting old.

Proof of climate change…/sarc

[ansel12]

Just wait for the flood of positive news stories from the media.

[chuck allen]

Impressed with what? Who is the we that did it? What actually did “they” do? I’m confused.

[Pontiac]

WE DID IT!

WE DID?

I personally had nothing to do with it!

Anyone who said I did is liar and a prevaricator!

I demand satisfaction from the lying SOB!

[kinsman redeemer]

This is entirely due to the good work of Joe Biden, "Slick" Newsom, and Occasional Cortex and their diligent efforts to save us from planet doom.

WE did it?

What did WE do?

OK

Well anyway, we all gonna die!!

[Jim Noble]

But, but....WAIT

I thought global warming meant MORE hurricanes, not NO hurricanes...

In his film "An inconvenient truth", Gore also discussed how warming oceans would cause hurricanes to be more destructive. Climate scientists over the last decade have contributed to a growing body of evidence that human-amplified warming is leading to more intense storms and allowing for the rapid intensification of tropical cyclones as they approach land.

"We" did it is silly. "We" didn't "do" anything. I did it.

You're welcome.

[Jane Long]

Super El Niño’a fault.

[central_va]

Trump’s fault.

[Da Coyote]

But what about the next ice age? (It didn’t happen.)
But what about no more snow? (It didn’t happen.)
But what about the Artic being ice free? (Ice is increasing.)
But what about the rising see inundating our coasts? (The normal rise of a few millimeters per year - going on for a good while - has not changed.)
Hmmmm, I think that even science-challenged folks such as journalists, ‘studies’ idiots, DemocRAT politicians, and similar folks to whom third grade math is calculus, might be able to come to a correct conclusion.

[know.your.why]

We could really use some of that rain in N. Alabama right now.

All they talk about is this El Torme...

I found an insight from an article with a map showing 173 individual hurricanes hitting land on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts from 1850 to present. I decided to see if the upward sloping curve caused by warming ocean temperatures I have always heard about from the climate change people would show more extreme weather. Intensity should be related to the number of land falls and assessment of winds. The number of landfalls seems random. In the second 100 years I counted 13 compared to 9 category four or five storms in the first 100. From what I know of statistics, I doubt that is really significant.

Concerning a single event, I had the 20:00 to 24:00 OOD watch on the bridge on our ship as Typhoon Rose passed over Hong Kong in 1971. The eye was six miles from us. The measuring device at the British weather station broke as the winds exceeded 175 miles per hour. We were tied to a buoy right off Fenwick Pier rated for battleships. There were no waves, but the winds screamed.

INB4: “Climate change triggered lack of hurricanes devastates crops across the south” stories start to show up. They HAVE to have something to tie the two together.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

We didn’t do anything.
