Eco-Alarmists Tie Hurricane Harvey Damage to ‘Climate Change’
 

by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.28 Aug 20172,291
New media reports blame climate change for the “unprecedented disaster” unfolding in Houston, alleging that climate change-related factors undoubtedly “worsened the flooding.”

Never missing an opportunity to preach of the evils of climate change, the UK-based Guardian newspaper claims that the Houston storm surge “was half a foot higher than it would have been just decades ago, meaning far more flooding and destruction.”

Ah yes!  I'm sure we all remember when leftists blamed Bush for Katrina because he refused to sign the Kyoto Treaty.   

And then they predicted many catastrophic hurricanes after it, but it was followed by fewer than normal storms.

They just don't care about truth at all......

Meanwhile this same bunch lectured us that "climate is not the same thing as weather" whenever one of their idiotic conferences got canceled because of a blizzard.

Using a word like "undoubtedly" means something along the lines of "we didn't bother to actually check, but it fits with our preconceived ideas so we're running with it."

You don't GET it, CL.......

Blizzards are weather, and hurricanes are climate change.

Makes perfect sense if your brain isn't functioning.  ^-^

I call it "Situational Intelligence."  Then, it does make sense.  It also gives me something to chuckle about when I hear it.

Why am I so unsurprised?

I responded to a climate change comment on DailyMail with something along these lines:

"The only thing man-made about AGW is the man-made belief that we know the 'right' temperature for the planet. Question: What is the 'right' temperature for the planet? Please provide a specific global mean temperature. Question: Has it been warmer in the past than the mean average temperature you just provided (if you did)? Question: Was the climate more or less conducive to life when the planet was warmer or cooler in the past? Question: When flora and fauna grew to monstrous sizes on earth, was the temperature warmer or cooler? Question: From a human history perspective, was agriculture more or less productive when it was warmer in the past? Question: Was it warmer or cooler when the Sahara Desert supported a lush ecosystem? The only thing man-made here is the belief that the BEST temperature for the planet is the temperature we most prefer."

That comment was promptly deleted by the moderators, and - I kid you not - likes for a separate comment I made about the Galveston hurricane were removed.

Facts and logic are to liberals  as crosses and silver bullets are to Count Dacula.
