Let's not dance around the issue: Hurricane Harvey was a direct consequence of global warming, which in turn is a direct consequence of human activities.
It's ironic that Texas (and Houston in particular) has an economy that is dominated by on oil and fossil fuels. Burning these fuels is what got us in this mess.
It's also ironic that Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who is now at the front of the line asking for a federal government rescue package, is a scientifically illiterate climate change denier.
Maybe with cooler temperatures, we'd have had a hurricane anyway–but it would have been a far smaller one, and the damage would have been far less severe.

Forbes - you have a problem.
Computer models are not the scientific method. They just change the claims all the time.
I guess it’s asking too much of the Left to allow us in Houston to bury our bodies BEFORE having a political debate over the flooding.
Advanced degrees in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biostatistics make one a weather authority.
I see Forbes has their employees Hitting the pipe early today .
I guess we never had Category 4 hurricanes before this year. Ever.
We’ve had the weakest decade of hurricanes in a long time and this puts wants to complain about the one severe storm that pops up.
Nope. Progressives never let a good crisis go to waste.
It’s only Global Warming in the summer. The rest of the year, it is “Global Climate Change”.
Looks like someone’s trying to get their leftist-oriented research project funded.
The religion of man made climate change continues to derp along.
If it had been a mild hurricane, this putz would find a way to blame your motor vehicle choices.
There is a paycheck to be had for pushing lies.
I might be willing to listen to the argument, that the earth is warming. I will never accept that it’s man made, but for the sake of argument, let’s assume that what this idiot has to say is true.
What is the solution?
Well said. Irma is coming and this is no time to politicize. Prayers for Houston.
The hurricane stalled. It had nothing to do with Global Warming. The author should be held accountable for his misinformation.
Forbes has turned into a joke.
