Storms! Floods! Riots! Looting! Blackouts! These are all the things that Laurie David is back to warning us about in her latest Huffington Post blog, This is the Face of Global Warming:
As severe storms and the resultant flooding continue to batter the Midwest with deadly results, the media is filled with scary stories of the destruction and misery being inflicted. We see headlines about 300,000 Chicagoans without power, state of emergency declarations across four other states, dozens killed by storms from Texas to Minnesota, flooded interstates, and thousands of flooded homes and businesses. It's now commonplace to see news footage of people being rescued off their rooftops, many saying goodbye to their homes for good.
Yeah, like we never saw footage of extreme climatic events before. Going way back, we can even read of weather catastrophes in the Bible. Ever hear of Noah and the Great Flood, Laurie? Or was that another example of Global Warming? Now Laurie David seems a bit upset that EVERY unusual weather event is not immediately ascribed to Global Warming:
But no news outlet has had the courage to state the obvious: This is the face of global warming. This is it. While no single weather event can be directly pinned to global warming, these are the predictions of the world's best scientist come to terrifying life. Scientists are certain that these deadly events will only become more common -- and more extreme -- as the earth continues to heat up. More intense rainfall, more extreme flooding, more crippled infrastructure and unsanitary conditions, more homes and businesses lost. More, more, more...
More, more, more... Cluck! Cluck! The sky is falling because not every news outlet is buying into Laurie David's Global Warming fantasy. Ms. David then takes which are weather events that have been happening for centuries and works herself into a Global Warming alarmist lather while simultaneously engaging in her obsession about Karl Rove:
These glimpses from storm-ravaged Middle America ought to be a wake-up call. How many more American lives must be lost and property destroyed for this administration to take action?
What will the next pictures look like? Blackouts? Looting? Riots?
Will it have to reach the level of Southeast Asia, where the worst floods in recent memory have affected an estimated 28 million people? In Bangladesh at least 678 are dead and over 50,000 are suffering from flood-related diseases -- millions more now find themselves homeless.
What's it going to take for this White House to act? I hope not that.
Karl Rove should do one last thing before he heads back to Texas to spend more time with his family, bailing out his own flooded basement: he should have the courage to demand that the administration face this problem and DO SOMETHING.
Yes, Laurie. I'll DO SOMETHING. I plan to watch again that hilarious South Park episode, Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow, which accurately satirizes Global Warming alarmists such as yourself.
The Galveston Flood of 1900. Surely this was caused by Global Warming.
I wish Laurie had added a PS whether she was still with the fellow she traded her old husband in for.

The Utica NY flood of 1901. More Global Warming, surely.
Cumberland, MD, underwater in 1902. More Global Warming at work.
Heppner, Oregon, washed away by Global Warming in 1903
Clearly there was significant Global Warming in the 1900s.
Oh God No! The wind, rain, and clouds are all going to become more "commoner!"
Laurie David is a lying, homewrecking slut.
Now, if the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi had collapsed during a surge down the Mississippi, from a flood caused by torrential rains, do you suppose the industrious ants of Capitol Hill would be calling for a gasoline tax increase? Of course not, they would be calling for a Carbon Tax to apply to ALL forms of energy.
As a result of global warming, doncha know.
A matter of physics and chemistry: Carbon dioxide could increase to several magnitudes of its present concentration in the atmosphere, and have absolutely no detectable influence on earth’s average temperature. Water vapor ALONE has many times the effect as a greenhouse gas, than CO2 ever could.
Just because there is so much of it, and the variation of its concentration in the atmosphere changes literally from minute to minute.
The Topeka Flood of 1951. Highways flooded! Unprecedented! Must be Global Warming!
Hey Laurie! Don’t let facts hit you in the ass!
7 of the 11 hottest years in the USA all occurred before 1955.

Don't hold back, tell us what you really think.
Oh, the empty lives of the ‘elite’, when they have everything life can afford them, they are still empty inside and the need to be recognized as relevant.
Laurie, don't forget the thousands who died in Paris in 2003. Oh, wait! Does it count if socialists die in extreme weather conditions?
I’m reading up on the Antarctic in anticipation of a vacation trip to that continent.
Antarctic Science, editied by D.H.W. Walton, Cambridge University Press, 1987
Page 220
(I haven’t had to do footnotes in years, so pardon me.)
“Ice cores from the Antarctic ice cap can provide baseline information on CO2 levels for before the industrial revolution and insights into the consequences of CO2 changes contained in the geological record. The latter reveals a very interesting paradox. The mean level, and total change in CO2 over the past 100 years, is not significantly different from that which pertained during the 5000 years of warming marking the end of the last ice age 20,000 years ago. This appeared to have been accompanied by a mean temperature increase of about 7 degrees C, but no such increase has occurred in the past century. It is unclear how this paradox can be resolved...:
“It is unclear how this paradox can be resolved.”
Just wait till Larry David see’s how much alimony and assets she’s going to be demanding at the divorce proceedings.
