unless they can prove globull warming STALLED the storm, i'm still gonna say no...

utter rubbish and not worth the time to respond. What would the GlowBULL warming hysterics have us to do stop these hurricanes? Really?
Dear Lord, it’s hard to believe people can be that stupid.
Does Hurricane Harvey prove the man-made Global Warming threat?
Yes - Human activity is to blame for the destruction (47%)
No - Harvey was the first Category 3+ hurricane to reach the U.S. in almost 12 years (44%)
I’m not sure (9%)
I suppose in a sense that human activity is to blame only because building stuff where hurricanes and floods happen is *human activity*.

“No” is losing.
NEEDS MORE FREEPING!
Let’s get to work.
I think Rush was telling about three worse floods in this same area within about 20 years’ time. They were in 1900, 1912 or 1915, and another soon after. So much for the current panic about man-made global climate change. How do the greenies explain that?
Wow! A poll to determine science. How new age. Maybe we can take a poll to see if the law of supply and demand still holds. I’m sure all of the Bernie supporters never even heard of it.
Well, damn! I went there and apparently already voted! Problem is, I hadn’t!

Houston is a city that, like New Orleans, is largely below sea level. Thus, Katrina and Harvey destruction is a man-made disaster. We can build dams and reservoirs that will provide some level of protection, but the law of gravity can’t be broken, get a big storm and water will eventually find it’s way into a hole.
Most hurricanes that affected the U.S. by decade:
(per Wikipedia): #1-1880s, #2 - 1940s, #3,#4 - 1950s and 1890s (tie) #5,#6 - 1870s and the 2000s (tie) The 2010s thus far have had the least hurricanes per year than any other decade recorded.
If CO2 concentrations are causing hurricanes, we should see CO2 spikes as a leading indicator of the most prolific hurricane occurrence. Yet the data tell us that the 1800s were every bit as hurricane prone as the 1900s and 2000s, even though CO2 levels were quite different.
If someone can provide me data to show a correlation between leading CO2 levels and hurricane activity, I might consider believing the climate change narrative.
Sorry, facts are a stubborn thing....
inconvenient they are
