The climate is changing — the thing is, it isn’t just due to humans.
Natural forces beyond human control are also gradually affecting our climate. These geophysical forces are vital to understanding global warming. Man is indeed responsible for a large portion — possibly even a majority — of global warming. But also in play are complex gravitational interactions, including changes in the Earth’s orbit, axial tilt and torque.
This fact needs to be included in the public debate. Because these gravitational shifts, occurring over millennia, can influence climate patterns and ultimately lead to noticeable variations in seasons. Interestingly, research suggests climate change can alter the tilt of the Earth, but an unrelated change in tilt can also further change the climate. It is a balance-counterbalance relationship.
The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was an intense, record-setting period. With several landfall hurricanes — Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria — barreling their way through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, devastating parts of the Leeward Islands and United States.
Still, even President Donald J. Trump has implied the whole of idea climate change may just be a hoax. Most Republicans seem to agree that it is not a serious problem.
Meanwhile, while some Democrats have tried to use the frequency and intensity of storms in the hopes of highlighting the climate change conversation, even this effort has seemed muted.

NBC Junk Science, Fake News alert
The climate on earth has been changing since the beginning of time and man has had nothing to do with it.
The Sun, source of all heat, is what determines if this planet is covered in ice or is nice like now.
Well, I'm glad they eliminated the sun as a possible factor in global warming. I was beginning to suspect it might have something to do with the whole thing. Being hot and all.
Gravitational forces, eh? So we can solve it if everyone moves his car over to the other side of the garage.
The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was an intense, record-setting period. With several landfall hurricanes — Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria — barreling their way through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, devastating parts of the Leeward Islands and United States.
And just how many hurricanes made landfall in the US in the immediately preceding 4,323 days (or 142-months or 12-years)? NONE!
So a couple of hurricanes in 2017 were "record setting" but the truly record-setting "hurricane drought" doesn't merit mention. It is no wonder that more and more Americans are skeptical of this bosh.
Nobody has ever explained what caused the previous Ice Ages, and there have been several, to end, even when the human race was still living on the savannas of Africa running from lions..............
No problem, we just get a large asteroid to ram us just right and...
And the Pacific Typhoon season was remarkably quiet and tranquil. I did not read the article but the climate change orthodoxy is a wealth transfer hoax. Paying more in taxes will not change the climate.
Except on Guam... it might tip over. ;-)
You can’t make bullshit reasonable.
Ah, more “news” about “climate change” from someone who’d fail high school trig and would avoid a real physics course like the plague.
Journalism: when you are too stupid even for politics.

Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims [pre-Climategate]Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding."
It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.
The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements.
Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive.
We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it.
(excerpted from Professor Hayden's letter to Lisa P. Jackson, Administrator Environmental Protection Agency. More at link.)
The climate certainly changed when God saved only one family from the Great Flood that drowned everyone else on earth. This was man-made climate change because mankind had become totally evil and depraved and deserved God’s destruction.
The Ice Ages were caused by a preponderance of ice.

Or even now, when the descendants of those Africans make good livings running from linebackers, safeties, and paternity suits.
