    Lol, if you think some random idiot on the internet is a better scientific source than say a couple of professors from two of the most respected universities on the planet.

      What I'm saying is what you get from professors at respected universities all over the place (like mine?) who don't whore themselves out to the media which is always looking for that clickbait/viewer grabbing apocalypse story

        I gotta ask... is your dad Rush Limbaugh?

        I've never seen a whole family be so idiotically right wing. Usually, it's just one psycho per family.

        Do you guys murder homeless people on family vacations?

            Rush can be accused of being many things; a moron is not one of them.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                No, he's pretty ****ing stupid. A good businessman, however.

                  I used to think climate change was propaganda...

                  Not anymore. Anyone who looks at the original research coming out now would be a fool to suggest that it isn't real. Rush a moron? Perhaps. Rush a Fool? Without a doubt when it comes to climate change.

                  Clearly the increase in sea water temperatures provides a more condusive environment for these storms. Whether it had any effect on this storm will have to wait on the analysis, but to dismiss it is just dumb.

                        Global warming didn't cause this hurricane. Chill out.

                          I'm not. It's too ****ing hot already.

                              "global warming" is just a term used to describe a process. Words don't cause hurricanes. The increased amount of energy being stored in the oceans most certainly affected this storm. It's sheer retardation to think otherwise.

                              But whether or not we should blame the deaths on the world being above 400ppm in CO2 really isn't the issue. That's a point I would agree with.

                              Banning fossil fuels today won't stop a powerful storm next week or next decade. The damage is done. This is hundreds of years of human activity affecting climate.

                              But I understand you and reg are highly partisan and see everything through a right wing political lens. If someone not of your party says something, you must have a vitriolic response. I understand.

                              My hope is that eventually you'll start to think for yourself and move past all of that.

                                It wouldn't stop powerful storms at all, we have always had them and this isn't even the worst recorded. The question is whether it causes less or more not whether they will happen. Like I said the Atlantic was deathly quiet, and it has just as much extra energy as the Pacific.
