Looks like Florida is getting another direct hit...

Maria looks like she's going to be a mean one...projected to be a cat 4 in a few days!

Deny the climate is changing, and the changing climate will kick your butt.

(I'm looking at you, FL and TX, because by whatever means that this is a bad hurricane year, it's a hoot to see.)

The caribbian nations have been screaming about climate change for years because they knew they would be badly impacted. As it turns out, they were. They're getting it far worse than florida and texas. A lot of lives are being ruined in the islands this season.

In the next day or two, a new set of islands will have the lives of residents ruined.

If this season of hurricanes is evidence of climate change, then the last 12 years without a major hurricane making landfall on the US is evidence that there is no climate change. Can't have it both ways. This whole hurricane/climate change connection is superstition, not science.

From what I read climate change doesn't necessarily cause more hurricanes but the effect of them will be more devastating. As water levels in the oceans continue to rise flooding will take place more often and as the oceans become warmer hurricanes that form will be stronger.

How much has the water level risen?

The fact no major hurricane made landfall in the US is not evidence that there is no climate change. The last 12 years on whole have been well above average for numbers and severity of hurricanes. The U.S. just was lucky to not get hit with a major storm.

Anyway, my point wasn't to drive home that climate change is real. There is no reason to do that, the world has moved on from that discussion, the vast majority of the world accepts it is here. My point was that he shouldn't mock people whose lives are being ruined by hurricanes, because a large number of those people impacted have been trying to get the large economies of the world to address it in a meaningful way.

According to NASA, 3.4 inches since 1993.

What a load of horse sheet.

Stop typing that crazy dream in your head

ENSO bro... you clearly know nothing about what you're trying to talk about.

I'm so tired of hearing the southern whiners on my TV. Darwin says these sorts of things, weed out the weak and stupid. I'm fine with that. My insurance rates and taxes are going up because of these "moran's."

Mother nature can be very temperamental just like a woman.

There is no rhyme or reason why she can go crazy sometimes, just like a woman.

More people, in coastal hurricane path means possibility of more destruction.

There's a reason all the hot women like Miami than North Dakota. If you're gonna live where the hot women play, expect some big storms to blow. Just like a woman.

Thanks Robert Zimmerman, expert on women and other things, too.

So were you in Miami or North Dakota when you suffered your traumatic brain injury?

Tell that to the Chinese and Indians...

Ahem, clown, only Atlantic-based, or Gulf of Mexico- or Caribbean Sea-based, storms can be called hurricanes.
