Ok, just had to say it.
Six-minute Q&A by Cantore in video clip at the link. Cantore goes on to say that damage costs for extreme weather events has increased per year since the 1980's. (Doesn't discuss increased costs of replacement, more people/vacation homes in flood prone areas (esp. coastlines vulnerable to hurricanes), or more total area (suburbs, etc.) now exposed to tornadoes.) He first hems and haws when asked about global warming but then goes into sea level rises and increasing extreme weather. Has drunk the Kool-aid, no doubt about it.
Of course the weather channel, owned by NBC which itself is owned by GE, follows the Obama/Al Gore/environmentalist party line that global warming and climate change are real and caused by human CO2 emissions. So his answer "it seems to be raining harder out there" does not contradict global warming theology.
Only time I see weather on fox ,it’s from the “Extreme Weather Center” blah , bull
Global warming PING!
Uh...we are starving for rain (AND snow) this December!!!
It was delicious. Cantore spun himself into a knot and tried to wiggle out of it by the usual contortions of logic that we've all now heard: warming can cause cooling, blah, blah, blah.
I eventually changed the channel, but I should have checked back later to see whether that "skeptical" anchor who challenged Cantore still remained on the network.
I somehow doubt it.
Cantore's an attention whore.
On the front linea now in tx and it’s true... it rained very hard here in the last hour and we lost power. Posting from phone. Send help
[ If you look at todays dollars and you go back to the 1980s, we averaged about $1 billion disaster a year. In the 2000s, weve averaged almost five, and in the last two years, weve averaged $7.5 billion disasters per year. So, weve seem more extremes, and were going to continue to see more extremes, Cantore said. ]
He forgot to add in the inflation and graft that the government agencies add into the cost of each disaster and the amount of money that is added by people not rebuilding and not reporting like people used to in the old days. Also the insurance fraud.
What a frickin looney toon.
Yep, and we were going to see the worst most frequent hurricanes on record after Katrina too.
That sure panned out. It was over six years ago.
Katrina was a devastating storm in terms of destruction, but by no means the worst storm in terms of strength. If you go back a few decades, there were plenty stronger ones.
If they were stronger, why was Katrina evidence of a new terrible weather pattern. Well, it wasn’t. It was merely a lucky hit at a place and time when infrastructure failed, and emergency services partially melted down.
Seems to me that Cantore’s explanation doesn’t hold water.
In the low of sunspot cycle, atmosphere shrinks, weather gets more extreme.
We are just coming out of biggest low - prolonged dip in the sunspots and that is what is causing some extremes, plus God's finger telling us to stop the PC crap and attacking Christmas and religion!!!!
LOL, this idiot Cantore doesn’t understand inflation.
He can't show his face in the Panhandle of Florida because he has ruined many tourist seasons with his hyperbolic predictions of hurricane doom that never materialized.
Same for man-made global warming. If people fear climatic Armageddon, they will tune in to the Weather Channel to reinforce their delusions.
The key phrase in that spew: “Its not scientific.”
The rest of it is crap.
I hope the wife is in charge of finances in the Cantore household...
I will never understand this simplistic notion that more heat = violent weather...like the earth is a pot of boiling water.
One of the central beliefs in GW is that the poles are warming faster than the equator. This means that the temperature differentials should become smaller...and actually our weather should get less violent.
Anyone who believes hot = storms just doesn’t know what they are talking about.

I have yet to have explained to me how humans, putting 0.0012% of a trace gas that makes up .04% of the atmosphere, can/is causing globull warming.
