Looks like Florida is getting another direct hit...

It's a "hoot to see" people suffering and dying? You are vile.

A lot more people will die if Trump and the republicans destroy the ACA (Romneycare) to give the rich a bigly tax break.

Actually they are forecasting it to miss Florida and travel east back into he Atlantic. Of course paths can change though. Feel bad for those in the Caribbean who are being hit twice by a category 5 hurricane.

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.

No it hasn't

Tee hee hee.

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.

THANK YOU, DANGIT.

We've had a decade of peace in the gulf. Aside from the freakshow sandy was (which was bad because it mixed with a friggin nor'easter), we haven't had any bad hurricanes.

Where were the alarmists crying about hurricanes then?

Well at least America can rebuild with it's excess savings ... Oh Wait. Looks like we will have to add another trillion onto the backs of future generations. It's only fair! .... right?

This is one of the oddest parts. Obama stole the whole thing from the Republican Romney, and then the Republicans went along with the pretense that it was Obama's idea.

So weird.

just accept that it's happening and stop asking people for evidence when you can easily look it up yourself.

Trump won those states

it's going up about 1/8th inch per year.

one example of the consequences: parts of miami routinely flood during the highest tides and the city is spending $10s of millions on pumps and raised road surfaces to counter the problem.

melting of greenland and antarctic glaciers, which has been documented, could lead to the ocean rising more than 25 feet--not during your lifetime, so we can pretend it's not happening.

It is just another Coincidental Synchronicityâ„¢.

It's going to hit the FL. Sorry but these so called meteorologists couldn't predict who will win the game even if one team is up by 50 pts. Not saying FL is going to get demolished, but they will get more rain and win, especially Palm Beach Co and South. GET READY!!!

Hey, vogelsong, you might ask your buddy Jeff Sessions why he's against legalizing weed, which is actually prescribed by real doctors to keep people off Oxy, etc., and is instead pushing for more opioids?

I think we're up to a million deaths from opioids, if you add them all up, just from the last 15 years. This includes like 300,000 from what doctors are handing out, just like Jeff wants.

Yeah, you go Jeff Sessions! Kill more people!

Is that better?

Never go full retard.

Except that the "science" behind climate change just had to admit that all their predictions were wrong...

So now they backtrack, backtrack...

It is always been strange to me the sheer arrogance of conservatives over climate change. I understand that it is natural to want to protect your interests, but the hypocrisy and ignorance is immense.

"Now, I'm no scientist..." - proceeds to try to discredit the scientists with a couple of logical fallacies. The lack of critical thinking skills among Americans have made so many people into believers of anecdotal "evidence".

The same thing is happening on the left, don't get me wrong. Leftist PC extremists, anti-vaxxers, etc. are all causing huge problems for our country. So, Republicans, why don't you rise above that liberal nonsense and think critically.

There was a hurricane drought for 12 years in America? You're forgetting the superstorms in the Pacific, like Haiyan. Also, look at the data trends. If you take the strength of the "average" tropical cyclone (Atlantic or Pacific) in a given year, you'll notice that cyclones are getting stronger slowly over many years.

Now go use this newfound knowledge to better the world! The world needs sensible conservatives!
