I've been waiting for the libs to declare Hurricane Ida the result of climate change. Here we go. It started off tonight, Lester Holt on NBC News, declaring that Hurricane Ida was caused by Climate Change. I switched to ABC, and there was David Muir saying that Climate Change, no doubt about it, caused this hurricane. Then David Muir led into the interview with President Biden:
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden used a trip to storm-ravaged areas of New York and New Jersey Tuesday to declare climate change a "code red" for the world, calling the devastation caused by Hurricane Ida the latest example of the "existential threat" extreme weather poses.
The president surveyed a hard-hit area in the New York City borough of Queens with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Bill deBlasio and other local officials.In remarks after his tour, Biden warned the "nation and the world are in peril" and action is needed to prevent future devastation from extreme weather events.
"The threat is here. It's not going to get any better. The question is can it get worse? We can stop it from getting worse," Biden said. "This is everybody's crisis."

. Sounds good, if you have a historic memory of about 3 months. But if we go farther back, we can recall the "Colonial Hurricane of 1635."
"The storm's eye would have struck Long Island before moving between Boston and Plymouth. It would likely have been a Category 4 or 5 hurricane farther south in the Atlantic, and it was at least a strong Category 3 hurricane at landfall with 125 mph (201 km/h) sustained winds and a central pressure of 938 mbar (27.7 inHg) at the Long Island landfall and 939 mbar (27.7 inHg) at the mainland landfall. This would be the most intense known hurricane landfall north of Cape Fear, North Carolina if accurate. Jarvinen noted that the colonial hurricane may have caused the highest storm surge along the east coast in recorded history at 20 feet (6.1 m) near the head of Narragansett Bay. He concluded that "this was probably the most intense hurricane in New England history."[1]
The most intense hurricane in New England history hit in 1635. Not too many coal fired electricity plants in operation in that year.

We can jump ahead a few centuries, and study the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.
"The Great Galveston hurricane made landfall on September 8, 1900, near Galveston, Texas. It had estimated winds of 140 mph (225 km/h) at landfall, making the cyclone a Category 4 storm on the modern day Saffir–Simpson scale.[5] The hurricane caused great loss of life, with a death toll of between 6,000 and 12,000 people;[31] the number most cited in official reports is 8,000,[26][43] giving the storm the third-highest number of deaths of all Atlantic hurricanes, after the Great Hurricane of 1780 and Hurricane Mitch in 1998.[44] The Galveston hurricane of 1900 is the deadliest natural disaster to strike the United States."
It's an emergency...... It's a crisis...... There's never been anything like it..........And we can only fight it and protect you if we can siphon more money out of your wallet so that we can do battle with it.
Biden is a demented bastard and has no clue what's happening.It took his team over 100 days to develop his drug regimen so he could appear in public and give an appearance of being in control of his faculties.
Before he devolved into his current state of dementia, he did commit treason and should be held accountable.
Maybe they could prove that climate change is responsible for his dementia.LOL
Well, we are waiting!! The US is one of the cleanest, most “hands tied” economy on earth in the name of cleaning the planet. Tell China and India to get their crap together!!
I’ve long suspected that hurricanes were a relatively new phenomenon caused by global warming and cow farts. 😉
Speaking of cow farts, Biden has not only cured corona virus but he successfully withdrew us from Afghanistan while leaving the country safer and more secure in the hands of “our Afghan partners”, the Taliban. I used to think that we viewed the Taliban as our enemy but apparently they’re Ol’ Cow Farts’ friends….just like corn pop. 😂
I swear to god it feels as though I’m living in an alternate universe….right side left, upside down, and inside out.
What I heard of Biden's apocalyptic rant this afternoon should inspire doubt in the minds of several generations who've been indoctrinated with this alarmist nonsense.
The Democrats must have a crisis to keep Left leaning ninnies in a perpetual state of fear and need for someone to protect them.
Covid is going to die down sooner or later, and the Dems are pimping the next "crisis". They actually have had this planned for years, Covid just gave them something to hang on and shelve Climate Change to keep that "imminent catastrophe" fresh until they need it.
I'm always afraid that one of their climate cooling schemes will actually work and then we'll be in REAL trouble.
That would be the disaster of all disasters. Don't these folks know we have billions of people to feed? And warm weather and CO2 are VITAL to food production? I remember when global cooling was a concern. I also remember the 1960s super hurricanes such as Betsy and Camille.
Camile was 1967, drove threw there on my way to Houston Stock show in March. 1968 made a hell of a mess. my dates could be wrong. Have not read this whole thread, has anyone mentioned this Climate Change B.S. is a Hoax?? Rio7
There are a scientific article on Facebook that showed category 3 or above storms is actually down in the last 100 years. Of course it was censored so I can’t post a link.

Just a few years ago the Experts were predicting the worst hurricane season ever because of global warming. They kinda just shut up and disappeared when none hit us in the ass. Oh well now we had one so it’s global warming again. Edk

Yes I heard a lengthy interview with a hurricane expert. He said that, if you took the 50 years from 1920 until 1970, and then took the 50 years from 1970 until 2020, that there were many more severe hurricanes in the 1920 to 1970 era. And he said that this fact proves that human caused climate change, causes bad hurricanes, is a fraud.
And his time period started in 1920, and he said "I'm giving the climate change advocates a break, I am not even including the devastating Galveston hurricane of 1900."
Those are the facts. And yet, every time we have had a severe storm, for the past ten years, the libs in the media, such as ABC and NBC, and Dem politicians like Biden, always claim it is the worst storm ever seen, and it is caused by Climate Change. They are counting on the people not remembering anything that happened more than 3 months ago.
I think their timing on this distraction is horrible. They clearly want to put Afghanistan in the rear view mirror. Now the idiots are gonna be back in the mess on the 9/11 anniversary.
I spent the late summer of 1969 hunkered down at Saufley Field NAS, kind of on the outskirts of Pensacola, sitting through Hurricane Camille. Got to help clean up Saufley and Pensacola NAS from all the tree limbs. The major damage was west from Mobile on westward. Drove that area later and the debris was stacked along the roads in long piles about 10ft high. It was an eye opening sight and one that I will never forget.

I was on duty in Charleston during hurricane Hugo. I don't think anything's getting worse.
So if I just pay more taxes, there’ll be no more hurricanes or floods or droughts or fires?
Who the hell actually believes this crap?
Yeah I wonder too. It is un real the BS that these idiots & fake news are feeding us . Think of all the stuff he's f'd up ,can't do correctly ,etc Then consider ,he can change the weather . Geezus help us
Of course it will,... a crisis has never been invented that money wasn’t the answer to it
With our taxes, of course, and further restrictions in the form of "laws", EOs, and beaurocratic "implementation" regulatory decrees by un-elected career desk polishers.
SK -"They are counting on the people not remembering anything that happened more than 3 months ago." - and shooting for 3 days ago!.
