They named another sub-tropical storm as a "tropical" storm.

These folks are sad - that makes three this year.

Gotta make the data fit the prediction don't 'cha know.


Climate change isn't a "prediction" it's a fact. In fact, the climate
has been changing constantly since the planet was originally formed
("created", if you prefer).

There are several dozen major indicators that the earth is in a
warming trend, again, and we know for a fact that it has warmed and
cooled many times during geological history. You can't look at a
single year's hurricane activity- or lack of it- and draw extensive
conclusions. You have to look at a long term trend, not your local
weather report or whether one of the several dozen indicators is
temporarily inactive. Doing so would be a lot like the guy who is
driving his car through six inches of standing water on the road but
sticks his hand out the window during a momentary lapse in
precipitation and (feeling no rainfall) pronounces that the drought
continues.

Do you believe that climate is not absolute? If so, do you believe
that it appears to be warming more rapidly now than in the past?

I believe that climate changes over the course of time, has done so in
the past and will do so in the future. I believe it is currently
warming more rapidly than geological evidence suggests it has warmed
in previous eras. Do I assign all of the blame to industrial
activities? No, but neither do I find it entirely improbable that we
may have influenced our environment in a way that exacerbates the
warming trend.

Coupled with stories like the attempted ban on certain types of
boating on some lakes in Alabama, it isn't unreasonable to fear that
concerns over "global warming" may ultimately change the ways in which
we are allowed to boat.
