Was Hurricane Irene caused by global warming?

Actually; Sarah Palin has seized control of the machine...this is why she KNEW that Zero would have to return from his vacation early, and explains why Rove is so furious with her...

It took a hurricane to get DUh-bama to stop vacatioing, and get off of the golf course, and pay attention to his job.

“It’s Bush’s fault!”

It’s in the Atlantic...Bush’s ancestry has home in Maine...it’s going to interrupt Barky’s Big Adventure...yep.

Bush’s fault.

[concerned about politics]

Hurricane Irene hadn’t even made landfall in the United States before some people figured out what to blame it on.

Tea Party!

Wouldn't that make Obama in control of the secret government hurricaine making machines?

Oh, absolutely . . . hurricane machine, earthquake machine (as Chávez blamed on him), you name it. Whoever holds the office of POTUS is endowed with the power to hurl lightning bolts like Zeus as well, in leftist fantasies.

“what’s a ‘tropical’ storm doing heading for the snow belt?”

Oh, man! this has NEVER happened before!!

Read that the other day. Below is a segment of the CERN summary. "There are several important discoveries from CLOUD. Firstly, we have shown that the most likely nucleating vapours, sulphuric acid and ammonia, cannot account for nucleation that is observed in the lower atmosphere. The nucleation observed in the chamber occurs at only one‐tenth to one‐thousandth of the rate observed in the lower atmosphere. Based on the first results from CLOUD, it is clear that the treatment of aerosol formation in climate models will need to be substantially revised, since all models assume that nucleation is caused by these vapours and water alone."

Without the “global warming” hoax and scam, “environmental activist”, Bill McKibben, would have to work for a living.

[arkady_renko]

Since he first heralded our era of environmental collapse in 1989's The End of Nature, Bill McKibben has raised a series of eloquent alarms. In Eaarth, he leads readers to the devastatingly comprehensive conclusion that we no longer inhabit the world in which we've flourished for most of human history: we've passed the tipping point for dramatic climate change, and even if we could stop emissions yesterday, our world will keep warming, triggering more extreme storms, droughts, and other erratic catastrophes, for centuries to come.

This is not just our grandchildren's problem, or our children's--we're living the early effects of climate change now, and it's time for us to get really creative about our survival. McKibben pulls no punches, and swaths of this book can feel bleak, but his dry wit and pragmatic optimism refuse to yield to despair.

Focusing our attention on inspiring communities of "functional independence" arising around the world, he offers galvanizing possibilities for keeping our humanity intact as the world we've known breaks down. --Mari Malcolm

I don’t know..was the 1938 devestating Hurricane caused by global cooling?

STFU Environwhackos.

"Was Hurricane Irene caused by global warming?"

Absolutely!

And so were these other storms:

• Great Hurricane of 1780, also known as Hurricane San Calixto
• Great Havana Hurricane of 1846
• Great Hurricane of 1900, also known as the Great Galveston Hurricane
• Great Hurricane of 1935, also known as the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935
• Great Hurricane of 1926, also known as the Great Miami Hurricane
• Great Hurricane of 1928, also known as the Great Okeechobee/San Felipe Hurricane
• Great Hurricane of 1938, also known as the Great New England Hurricane

It's widely thought that the introduction of the wheel itself, rather than the SUV, is the catalyst for the global warming behind these man-caused disasters.

[Kirkwood]

“He argued that this year’s hot Atlantic Ocean temperatures and active spree of hurricanes —”

Irene is the first hurricane of the season. The other 8 were at best, tropical storms, and even that was pushing the definition of a TS.

[Signalman]

That’s right. Before global warming, there were no hurricanes. Look it up.../s

[Right Wing Assault]

Oops! Wrong HTML and slow reactions. Try again. This is proof that hurricane don’t go into the snow belt.

Everything was caused by Global Warming which was caused by benighted conservatives.

[hosepipe]

Hurricanes are caused by Ocean warming..
Being happening for millions of years.. even in the Arctic..

The ocean warms and cools constantly.. 12 months of the year.. Bottom to top..

[eyedigress]

Conditions are similar to 1954 according to the meteorologists. Of course 1954 was not inhabited by a bunch of Moonbats!

[One hundred percent pure crap!]

Thats why I chose my tagline for the summer.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Has that even happened yet?

[xander]

A swirling cloud of idiocy, corruption, and fear mongering is also called a hurricane? Amazing! You really do learn something new everyday.
