History 101 must first be taken.

1900: Galveston, 6k to 12k deaths. Before global warming.

1919: Atlantic Gulf. 1k to 2k deaths. Before global warming.

1926: The Greath Miami Hurricane. 300 to 400 deaths. Before global warming.

1928: The San Felipe Hurricane. 1800 to 2000 deaths. Before global warming.

1935: The Labor Day Hurricane. 408 deaths. Before global warming.

1938: The New England Hurricane. 600 deaths. Before global warming.

1944: The Great Atlantic Hurricane. 400 deaths. Before global warming.

1954: Hurricanes Carol and Edna. 100 deaths. Before global warming.

1954: Hurriance Hazel. 95 deaths. Before global warming.

1955: Hurriances Carol and Diane. 500 to 1000 deaths. Before global warming.

1957: Hurricane Audry. 390 deaths. Before global warming.

1960: Hurriance Donna. 114 deaths. Before global warming.

1969: Hurriance Camille. 256 deaths. Before global warming.

Assuming that we pinpoint global warming back to Nixon...then the environmentalists have problems explaining the various hurricanes before 1969. I doubt if any of those guys ever took a class in history or understand the implications of history.

Gone from the curriculum, along with Logic and Basic Science. Last Spring, when all the pine trees were blooming, my part of Wisconsin declared a *moderate air emergency*. Mostly, this was for the cities and mostly it was caused by an inversion that lasted just a few days during pollen season. A woman who teaches science to eighth graders was just beside herself, wondering why schools and all business were not canceled, since we were all at such risk. She never questioned that she had gone to work and then driven another eight miles out to my house. I mentioned pine pollen, showed her some photos that were being published from Alaska and other places of huge green pollen clouds descending on towns, mentioned why the Smokies are called smoky. She was amazed, stunned and uncomfortable, because it simply *had* to be automobiles and electric plants, etc. She made no distiction between urban and rural areas.

Forty years of agenda-driven education and media resulted in everyone who wanted to feel good about themselves planting acres of pine trees under government programs that give tax breaks for re-foresting former pastures/fields. We are encouraged in the same way to not log.

But trees are good. Technology is bad.

Global warming could not have started that early, because Clinton was president since then.

"Scientific" analysis can prove "global warming" began at noon, 1-20-2001, Eastern time.

[Mr. Bird]

that's because those hurricanes occurred during the impending ice age.

Good point. They don't teach history anymore. It might upset some losers :-)

1969: Hurriance Camille. 256 deaths. Before global warming.

Camille is of particular interest, since it took place when the hippy professors were starting to whine about the new impending ice age.
