Meghan McCain to GOP after Sandy: Do you still doubt climate change?
The Hill ^

Posted on 10/30/2012 9:29:45 AM PDT by chessplayer

Political analyst Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), is challenging widespread GOP skepticism about climate change in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

“So are we still going to go with climate change not being real fellow republicans [sic]?” McCain wrote, via Twitter, around midnight as the storm was slamming ashore.

Both outlets look at a 2012 study by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on extreme weather and climate change.

That study finds that researchers currently have “low confidence” in tying cyclone activity in recent decades to climate change.

That dumb fat skank may call itself a “Republican”, but only a complete idiot, and yes she fits the bill, would correlate weather events such as this to AGW or the current term “climate change”, and the overwhelming bulk of such morons identify themselves as democrats.

She is the typical asshat who believes that her proclamations will make her seem oh so intelligent, and although it will work for those who rabidly believe in the man made climate change spiel, she is an obvious opportunist who should not be taken seriously over any subject.

Of course there’s climate change. There’s always been climate change. If there wasn’t the house I grew up in would be on a glacier instead of a like. We don’t believe that it’s man made and even if we did why don’t we find ways to create technology to combat the change rather than have everyone drive around in golf carts.

Maybe she’s planning on running for Republican Party President in 4 years.

A chip off the old block—insane, and a Commie.

I wish she and her old man would just join the Democrat Party and stop embarrassing the rest of us.

The 1938 Long Island hurricane made landfall as a Cat 3 and still had hurricane force winds when it hit Vermont. So, what exactly has "changed," babe?

We never had hurricanes before this so called “climate change”?

That's true. Hurricanes didn't exist until shortly after Al Gore started talking about global warming. Before that time there were no storms of any kind - in fact tempetures the world over were 73 degrees year round. There wasn't even any wind. Thank God for the brilliant among us like Meghan McCain - a women who came up the hard way - born on third - thinking she had hit a triple...

There have always been hurricanes, Sugar Cakes.

Extreme weather is an integral part of the Earth’s climate

Global temperatures have been declining for 2000 years when you don't use the fraudulent data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

What an idiot. No one is skeptical about climate change.

We are skeptical that humans are directly responsible--or even indirectly responsible-- for shifting weather patterns.

We are especially skeptical that the government can make things better in this area by taxing carbon emissions.

Kinda like back in the old days before FEMA was on the job to save us and hundreds of thousands died every time it snowed?

Yes, I do believe in "Climate Change"

First comes Spring, then comes Summer, then comes Fall, then comes Winter.

I believe in climate change - if the sun’s magnetic/sunspot activity doesn’t start increasing significantly, we’re look at significant cooling in the next decade or so.
