Never mind Galveston. Long Island NY begs to differ:

On Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said that hurricanes, superstorms, and tornadoes did not occur before climate change. In the same breath, he said that anyone who questions the left's climate-alarmist hysteria is "just delusional." He may want to check in a mirror.
After he finished berating President Donald Trump in an interview with MSNBC, Cuomo turned to his latest attempt to enforce climate change orthodoxy.
"You know, anyone who questions extreme weather and climate change is just delusional at this point," Cuomo said. "We have seen in the State of New York what everyone is seeing. We see these weather patterns that we never had before. We didn’t have hurricanes, we didn’t have superstorms, we didn’t have tornadoes."
While it is at least plausible that carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels might lead to increasing global temperatures and rising sea levels, it takes a special kind of insanity to think that there were no hurricanes or tornadoes before human beings started burning carbon for energy.
Even interpreting Cuomo's words charitably, the governor said that New York State did not experience hurricanes, superstorms, and tornadoes until the effects of manmade climate change. It is difficult to assess this claim, because written records do not go very far back, but even this less delusional suggestion is entirely incorrect.
An analysis of sedimentary evidence from New Jersey showed that a major hurricane struck the New York/New Jersey area between 1278 and 1438, long before the internal combustion engine. Another hurricane tracked parallel to the East Coast with impacts on New England and New York in August 1635. On September 8, 1667, a "severe storm" was reported in Manhattan.

"Any science guys out there?" Yes.
"IS it plausible or NOT?" It is not plausible! Increased ocean temperatures cause increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, not vice versa. The global warmists do not understand the difference between correlation and causation.
Classic example: At work, the fat guys all drink diet soda while the thin ones drink sugared soda. Does it therefor prove that diet soda causes obesity?
There are pictures in Santa Paula CA. of HUGE floods in very early 1900’s completely covering the farm fields massive damage everywhere I think they were driving Model T’s and VERY FEW were around!!! This ASSHAT is a COMPLETE IDIOT!!!
Andy Cuomo was born in 1957 ( yes, I looked it up ), went to supposedly good schools, but is dumber than 3 day old roadkill and his moron of a brother is even worse!
Clinton was partially right. The glowbull warming hoax did start in the ‘90s or at least just a year or two prior to the ‘90s. Before that all of the eco-wackos were running around with their hair on fire about the coming Anthropogenic Ice Age.
The stupid is unnatural.
I think Frodo meant a hurricane has never hit on Central Park W between W. 86th and W 79th.
Fredo + Frodo = Maroon
“We Didn’t Have Hurricanes’ Before Climate Change”
That is what the history books will read 20 years from now...unless things turn around.
Also, that is just one of many such incidents along the coastline of the US. There have a number of truly bad storms that have sunk countless ships. There have been storms that even damaged lighthouses. Cuomo is a lying schmuck.
Andy, Andy, Andy.
Are you that Stoopid?
He needs to be evaluated by a mental health professional. Seriously, get him the help he needs before he hurts himself or someone else. It is obvious he is in the midst of a break with reality. Not satire, not a joke. If any lib lurkers out there are in any way connected with him or his family - get him professional help now. You don’t want to live with regrets the rest of your life.
Don’t forget Port Lavaca. It WAS the primary shipping port until a hurricane filled it full of sediment in the 1800s.
That’s Chris. This is the smart Cuomo brother. *eyeroll*
Idiot doesn’t know that only Mossad can control the weather.
Democrats are liars because they have to be. They could never sell any of their insane policies if people actually knew the truth.
Thank a teachers’ union.
Never mind Galveston. Long Island NY begs to differ:
It was plausible in 1990.
It is no longer plausible.
Well he is right in a way.
The climate has never been static and we have always had hurricanes.
Hazel went through in ‘54 - and in the ‘60s science teachers were saying we appeared to be heading for a cooling spell.
