Whats scares me is the fact that we have done so much damage in such a short period of time. The earth is about 4 billion years old, humans have been on the planet for about 200,000 years (give or take) and we have been using fossil fuels for around 200 years which is 0.1% of our time on the planet, 0.000005% of the age of the planet. We have done so much damage that we must stop using fossil fuels immediately which means no more cars, aeroplanes, electricity etc....in short back to the stone age and even then I fear we are probably too late!
Yeah. And it's not like it's unusual to have a string of some of the largest on record at the same time as record heats getting set all over the country.
Katrina, Rita, Ivan, Ike and Gustav all hit within a few years or in the same year, then several years with no significant Gulf storms. It's actually not unusual to have cluster storms, especially when we have had record temps this Summer. Not saying Climate change isn't a very real threat, but having multiple large storms isn't as unprecedented as you might think.
Ivan in 2004, Katrina and Rita were right after each other which is what actually precipitated the paniced evacuations in Houston that caused 100 deaths in 3 days, then Gustav and Ike were back to back a few years later.
People who actually know what they're talking about. Votes should be done in person, and accompanied by a brief timed test on the issue being voted about. If the person is not clearly informed on the subject, their vote is discarded.
There are expert that will clearly inform you global warming is a hoax and experts that will inform you its real same thing with aliens right now there is a petition to put Bigfoot on the endangered species list and there are experts that can prove Bigfoot is real (look up Sasquatch Genome Project ) these guys know more about Bigfoot then any one. Should they be the ones to decide land management for big foot and how your tax dollars are spent to protect him? Who's to say what the truth is these guys have scientific proof its real but im still skeptical. Id say a IQ test to be able to vote would be a better idea so we know some one has the intelligence to make a informed decision. Could use it for drivers license to, IQ below 100 you can only get a car that goes up to 35 mph or some thing like that.
@matthewg congratulations. One of the fundamental problems of society. @rachee true, but I have far more respect for the "experts" who actually believe it's a hoax than the uninformed idiots parroting them.
Definitely I mean its not like we had hurricanes before climate change. You want to know if climate change is real its simple. Experts will tell you scientifically its doing this and its doing that ask any of them one simple question. Ask when it will kill us all. No scientific answer will be given its all. could be by or may be by its never we calculated it and the year such and such we will all die. Climate change is mostly bullshit. BUT we have screwed up this planet so bad pollution in the air can't eat the fish in the oceans more then a couple times a month over farming and on and on these things are real climate change is just slide of hand mostly its watch what the right hand is doing so no one talks about the left hand.
Actually, according to the weather channel Hawaii is the only state where it snows every day of the year, there's a rainforest that feeds massive amounts of humidity to a wind that blows up the side of a mountain and it is deposited as snow on the other side.
hehe lived in Utica/herkimer area for like 12 years. im in Maine now and you guys can keep your freaking lake effect lol i think we get a little colder then you but it doesn't dump 3 feet in one night here.
They find fossils of ocean animals in the US plains states. There were wooly mammoths in areas that are now temperate. There has been climate change going on for millennia, BIT IT WASNT MAN MADE.
But, it's always appropriate to try to embarrass people who disagree with you, so,go ahead and name the Hurricanes after people you need to denigrate for their different views.
