Isn't every weather pattern now a sign of global warming? If it's a drought, it's because of global warming. A flood? Global warming again. Cold spell? Warm spell? You guessed it - global warming.
BTW, what happened to all the global warming hurricanes we were supposed to have this year?

Lack of hurricanes is a sign of global warming. Duh!

One day, if we are not careful, it just might. One day I might just find Jessica Alba waiting for me in bed.

I believe that’s why they’ve moved the bar and now call it climate change so that they can have all their bases covered.

Even an increase in “natural disasters” can’t be used as an indicator without additional factors being considered.
Development and “flood defenses” in one place lead to flooding downstream. Plus, while we are seeing climate change, the question remains whether it is caused by our activities or is purely part of natural variation.

They'll come when Karl Rove wants them to come. Right now he has his Katrina Machine switched to Standby.

Since all this flooding is being caused by the melting polar ice caps, might I suggest a 100 megaton nuclear blast in no mans land up there to “evaporate” a portion of the cap?
No one up there anyway and as Hiroshima and Nagaski proved, the land will be habitable relatively quickly.

Global warming is causing the earth to sweat all over Great Britain.

global hurricane devastation plans have been halted until scooter libby is back in circulation.

We’ve reached the global “tipping point”.

Basically, yes. It attracts viewers and readers and brings in the ad dollars plus it comforts the viewers by giving them one single yet remote thing to worry about.

Do they think that this planet has been the same in terms of temperatures and sea levels as it has for the past 200 years that we've cared or noticed, and now all the sudden it's changing?
I swear, this is such a numbnuts "issue" that it's disgusting. Underneath Yellowstone Park right now is a volcanic caldera that is the equivalent of a festering zit on the planet's surface. A big huge magma chamber, according to my resident Ask-Dr.-Science, that folks who study earth geology say goes off about once every 600,000 years. When it does, it buries the entire midwest in ash. It's going to go off again, and it's due ... maybe in ten years, maybe in a thousand years, who knows.
Juan Cabrillo's diaries of his journey along the California Coast in the mid 1500s say there was SNOW all the way along the Big Sur Coast. That was only 450 years ago!! Snow there today would cause what moron eco alarmists would certainly call an "environmental disaster!"
I swear, people who fall for Man-Made Climate Disaster scenarios are as gullible and unlearned as tribal folks who cower in fear of a Western astronomer who predicts a lunar eclipse.

The climate model called for hotter drier summers just before they got this colder, wetter deluge but, according to the article, this could also fit the forecast.

Only government can control global warming. It must be removed from the hands of amateurs such as Algore and put under the rules of debate of Congress.

Some of the oldest stories told by virtually all cultures across the planet involve catastrophic floods. They are widespread and historically speaking, common. To assert that these are caused by man is ridiculous. I can't believe that that many people are simply that simple minded to swallow this garbage.
