No weather is extreme weather so this, like everything else, proves AGW.
The way we could prove it is just kill every human being on the planet and measure the drop in global temperatures.
Then we'd know for sure.

But, but we were told, back in 2005, by none other than NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC that super storms were in our future because of GLO-BULL warming!
How many category 5 super storms have hit the US since Katrina and Rita! Sandy was barely above a tropical storm when it hit NYC at a high tide, and two nor'westerners barreling down on her.

It's because of Pat Robertson. If you don't believe me, just ask him.

There is a certain level of excitement when a major hurricane is churning off the East Coast. There's a run on plywood at the Home Depot. I can fill my garage with cases of beer without getting a hard time from the wife. She's putting fresh batteries in flashlights, pulling out the candles and filling plastic containers with water.
I like to go to the beach during these times. The surf is always a little bit choppier and rougher. A stiff breeze keeps the mosquitoes at bay. Thick, fluffy cumulus clouds scud across the sky. I'm filling up all my red gas containers and getting the propane tanks filled. Doing an oil change on the generator and testing it out - just in case.
When a hurricane is nearby, the air gets kind of heavier, more tropical. I get in the mood to mix pitchers of margaritas and drink them out on my picnic table in the backyard while listening to the radio. I start getting phone calls and emails from far-away friends and relatives concerned about me being in the "path of a monster" as according to the Weather Channel - even if landfall is projected to be some 600 miles down the coast from where I am. Apparently I am in jeopardy just by living on the Eastern Seaboard.
When a hurricane does pass over my house, even if it's blown-out remnants, it's always an event. Businesses shut down. Highways close. I'm walking my dog around the neighborhood with a gusty wind and periodic downpours and neighbors think I'm crazy for being out in it. Branches blow off trees and I like the way the bigger trees sway back and forth and my dog and I pass through the swirling winds. If we get drenched - no big deal. The rains are so warm and I'm usually in shorts and sandals anyway. My dog doesn't care and appears to even like getting wet.
For some reason, hurricanes and beer go together. After a hurricane passes by, everybody has recycle bins full of empty beer cans on trash day. Some wine bottles but not as much as what you see after Thanksgiving and Christmas.

According to Joe Bastardi, best weatherman in America IMO, the hurricane season will get active late this year.

How many category 5 super storms have hit the US since Katrina and Rita!
--------------------------------------------------------
Katrina and Rita were only Cat 5 'super storms' out in the Gulf. Both were low end Cat 3's when they made landfall.
New Orlean's massive damage was due to flooding when the levees failed. The levees failed due to mismanagement by the Corp of Engineers.
Responsibility for the failures and flooding was laid squarely on the Army Corps in January 2008 by Judge Stanwood Duval, U.S. District Court, but the federal agency could not be held financially liable due to sovereign immunity in the Flood Control Act of 1928.

Although Hurricane seasons starts in June, the real hurricane season has yet to begin. Sept seems to be the real peak here.

Im on Floridas east coast. Weve had afternoon thunderstorms all summerYears ago, while I was still in the Air Force, I had to make a visit to a defense contractor in Florida. As we walked to the cafeteria for lunch, I noticed all the thunderheads in the sky. No one was paying them any attention. I thought, if I were home in Ohio and saw storms like those, I'd be running for cover, instead of casually walking across the parking lot.

The levees failed due to mismanagement by the Corp of Engineers.The way I heard it, the money intended to maintain the levees was spirited off to other uses by the RAT administrations of NOLA.

Please stop exhaling. That simple solution never seems to occur to the eco-freaks, does it?
