"Trust me, it's the global cooling you've got to worry about!"

Storm surges pushed by Hermine, the once and future hurricane that on Sunday was moving up the US eastern seaboard, could be even more damaging because sea levels have risen by a foot due to global warming, climate scientists say.
Michael Mann of the Pennsylvania State University noted that this century’s one-foot sea-level rise in New York City meant 25 more square miles flooded during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, causing billions more in damage.
“We are already experiencing more and more flooding due to climate change in every storm,” said Michael Oppenheimer, a geosciences professor at Princeton University. “And it’s only the beginning.”
On Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said the storm was expected to stall off the coast of New Jersey and other major population centers in the north-east for several days.

Only one Hurricane (and a WEAK Category 1 version, to boot) hits the U.S. Mainland briefly this year and then moves out to sea, so they have to play the sea level angle to maximize their use of the event.
What a bunch of liars. The reason why there is more damage with these events is from people building closer to the coast
And that weak Cat 1 hurricane was the FIRST hurricane in over 10 YEARS to hit the US coast!
“sea levels have risen by a foot due to global warming, climate scientists say”
if that were actually the case, most of the beaches on the eastern seaboard would have been wiped off the face of the map, so I can only assume sea levels must have risen in OTHER places by a foot but not along the U.S. coast, thus defying the laws of gravity.
The March of the Asshats, it never ceases.
Storm Hermine’s damage fueled by global warming, scientists say.
Unmitigated Bullsh!t!,
there was no Hermaine damage
Think Galveston 1900 then rethink Hermaine
Funny - There have been no articles I remember documenting such a large rise in sea levels, yet these “scientists” proclaim it as truth.
By 2018, the sea level is going to be at the foot of the Rocky mountains....We’re all going to drown....

Stopped reading right there.
Global Warming was saving it all up for one big hit!
YUGE uptick in hurricanes since the last land fall 11 years ago. Right? And we still have a couple of months left in hurricane season. Better head for higher ground.
The rapid acceleration of global warming is going to cause an 18 foot deep snowfall in Miami the winter of 2019...Mark my words....
Ike tore up my roof and I had to replace it. I'm pretty sure that was less than 10 years ago.
I have lived in and around the New York coastline for my whole life. We go back generations, as do my friends. The beach on which I grew up has the identical waterline as it did decades ago. The pre revolutionary war houses still sit there, behind their sea walls
I can’t read this propaganda
And that weak Cat 1 hurricane was the FIRST hurricane in over 10 YEARS to hit the US coast!
Was the first Hurricane to hit FLORIDA in 11 years.
I guess that this proves that there was no global warming in the prior 10 years.
