Even if we, for the sake of argument, declare everything the global warming alarmists state is true...major hurricanes occurring at the peak of hurricane season is certainly not evidence of it one way or the other. Irma became so powerful and large because of an absence of wind shear and other interference allowing it to grow and develop - that is a coincidence that a powerful storm happened to be there during those ideal atmospheric conditions for strengthening and development - just a few days later or earlier the same system might not have been able to become so powerful...had it not moved over land it also would not have caused any damage - yet the damage is supposedly evidence of “climate change.” Likewise, it is a coincidence that Harvey made landfall where a high pressure system just happened to be sitting there, causing the Harvey system to stall there as a Tropical Storm and dump its heavy rain in the same area for several days on end...but for that high pressure system just happening to be there, Harvey would have continued to move, spreading its heavy rains over a much larger area...that is not evidence of climate change one way or the other...a tropical system getting blocked from moving and becoming stationary would have caused that flooding regardless of whether or not there is any “climate change.” What is this guy talking about? This is nonsense and not appropriate for him to be saying.

The pope should review history. The worst hurricane to hit Texas in the last century was the Galveston Hurricane, which hit--wait for this-- Saturday September 9. 1900. 118 years ago, last Saturday. Horse and buggy days, and yes it had been hotter than hell that summer, all without benefit of emitted greenhouse gasses.
