The unprecedented hurricanes that have hit Texas and Florida

Real Conservatives have a historical memory that goes back further than 1997.

In 2005, after hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we were told that Global Warming was causing bigger hurricanes and we should expect them to keep getting bigger and more frequent. We then went through a record 12 year period without a single Category 3 or higher hurricane hitting anywhere in the U.S. It was very Inconvenient for Global Warming.

Sandy was blamed on Global Warming even though it was no longer even a hurricane when it made landfall in the US (it had downgraded to a “post tropical cyclone”). The devastation that it caused was entirely because it happened to hit a very densely populated area.

Finally a couple of Category 3 storms have made landfall again so they can be used as proof of Global Warming.

If we’re in, let’s start.

The following individuals immediately need to stop breathing in order to reduce CO2 output.

Chuck Schumer
Nancy Pelosi
Hillary Clinton
Maxine Waters
Bill Maher
Michael Moore
F. Chuck Todd
Martha Plimpton
Jemele Hill
Colin Kaepernick
.....etc.

One silly thing is that they can have conservatives to stop pollution at any time. I hate pollution. And most people do. We can see pollution and we understand its bad. But climate change is crazy. Thats not fighting pollution thats fighting funding fake science. And making us all subject to the crazy corrupt whims of pseudo-scientists who wish to change society for reasons that have nothing to do with saving the earth.

Here in Texas we have had an unprecedented couple of weeks of 80 degree weather. And it is still summer.

So are you wearing light jackets?

William Happer PhD: The Real Story on Climate Change.
ICON Lecture Series

Tuesday, September 12, 2017 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (EDT)

Chapel Hill, NC
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/william-happer-phd-the-real-story-on-climate-change-tickets-27303647946

Some of the topics which are likely to be covered in this talk include the history of atmospheric CO2 since life on earth began, failure of computer models to predict changes in temperature, that past changes in temperature were not associated with changes in CO2, the history of changes in temperatures on earth, ocean acidification, sea level rises, sun spots and solar physics, and the beneficial effects of CO2 on plant life and growth. Global warming, climate change, extreme weather, globalization, carbon credits and taxes, and the sources and beneficiaries of the funding streams that support the advocacy of these concepts and policies will be considered.

Dr. William Happer, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, is a specialist in modern optics, optical and radiofrequency spectroscopy of atoms and molecules, radiation propagation in the atmosphere, and spin-polarized atoms and nuclei.

Dr. Happer received a B.S. degree in Physics from the University of North Carolina in l960 and the PhD degree in Physics from Princeton University in l964. He began his academic career in 1964 at Columbia University as a member of the research and teaching staff of the Physics Department. While serving as a Professor of Physics he also served as Co-Director of the Columbia Radiation Laboratory from 1971 to 1976, and Director from 1976 to 1979. In l980 he joined the faculty at Princeton University. On August 5, 1991 he was appointed Director of Energy Research in the Department of Energy where he oversaw a basic research budget of some $3 billion, which included much of the federal funding for high energy and nuclear physics, materials science, magnetic confinement fusion, environmental science, the human genome project, and other areas. He remained at the DOE until 1993 when he was reappointed Professor of Physics at Princeton University and Chair of the University Research Board from 1995 to 2005. From 2003 until his retirement in 2014, he held the Cyrus Fogg Brackett Chair of Physics.

From 1987 to 1990 he served as Chairman of the Steering Committee of JASON, a group of scientists and engineers who advise agencies of the Federal Government on matters of defense, intelligence, energy policy and other technical problems. He is the Chair of the CO2 Coalition. He was a co-founder in 1994 of Magnetic Imaging Technologies Incorporated (MITI), a small company specializing in the use of laser polarized noble gases for magnetic resonance imaging. He invented the sodium guidestar that is used in astronomical adaptive optics to correct for the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence.

He has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. He was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship in 1966, an Alexander von Humboldt Award in 1976, the 1997 Broida Prize and the 1999 Davisson-Germer Prize of the American Physical Society, and the Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award in 2000.

Waiting for anyone to tell me how hurricanes on the Gulf Coast and Florida are somehow "unprecedented."

Ask the Spanish who lost zillions in gold etc. when their treasure galleons went down in hurricanes. 500 years ago!!!

No jackets, but the humidity has been about 37%. Nice.

Well, those were sport utility treasure galleons, which carried the seeds of their own destruction.

Humans can’t control the weather. Are they expecting us to go out into the hurricane and beat it with a bat or punch it?
