Hurricanes

The Climate scarists want people to believe every natural disaster is because of plastic straws or mankind. The Climate scarists want people to believe every natural disaster is not an act of God or chance, but because of plastic straws or mankind. The science doesn't back that up. Hurricanes (or Cyclones/Typhoons) have been trending down in size and intensity, and weren't caused by Global Warming anyways. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni

🗒️ Note:
Hurricanes aren't caused or magnified by global warming (in size or strength). But if they were, it would hurt the Climate Scarists cause, as they've been going down in frequency and intensity, and not up.

🗒️ Note:
The most deadly hurricane to hit the U.S. was the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Due to government (New Deal), it got 400 people killed.

Hurricanes take a lot of conditions together to happen, and their size and intensity is based more on trade winds and things well beyond Climate Change's ability to control. So anyone that ties a Hurricane to Global Warming is either a retard or a polemic: they immediately set the bozo bit.

Remember when Katrina happened and all the networks were predicting more and stronger hurricanes? (I do).

Since 2005, we've had an almost drought of strong/big hurricanes. But if another one hits, we can bet regardless of the statistical realities, that the media will blaming it on Climate Change. Just like they did the California Drought, Fires, or the best chicken-little imagineering that I heard recently: Syria and ISIS.

I swear to gawd, you can read all about how they blame a drought in Syria, which was caused by weather, for the revolution that lead to ISIS. Ignore that Syria was unstable since 1963, and that multiple other countries fell first in the Arab Spring -- or that this drought has started over 100 years ago (and that man only started putting out significant CO2 since 1950's or so). #Everythingisglobalwarming.

Ignoring the math of the situation (that global warming was supposed to impact the upper atmosphere and poles first, not the heat-sync of oceans -- and that would actually reduce storms), they were still trying to scare their most gullible rubes.

Global warming should reduce Hurricanes

           Main article: Hurricanes/Global warming should reduce Hurricanes

🗒️ Note: 2006: "Hurricanes are going to be worse and more frequent!" 2007: 2008: 2009: 2010: 2011: 2012: 2013: 2014: 2015: 2016: 2017: "Told you so!" Storms are caused by differences between hot and cold fronts. Warming of the air doesn't cause hurricane strength, but differences between the water (and warmer water) and the air does. Global Warming predicted that warm more at the poles than the equator, and we were also going to warm the upper atmosphere before the oceans. Which makes sense -- CO2 theory is that the atmosphere is absorbing more heat/light, thus less heat/light is getting to the ocean surface to warm it. Plus, it takes 784 times as much energy to heat water as air, and CO2 warms because the molecule happens to be the same size as infrared lights wavelength. Water molecules are not the right size or as efficient at capturing that heat. Thus since the extremes lessened between poles and equator, and Oceans and land were decades behind the atmosphere in warming (the water would stay cool), early predictions were that Global Warming would reduce storms in severity and frequency. This lack of storms would cause tidal currents to change and doom and gloom, so give us your money to stop this. That didn't work because nobody was afraid enough of a lack of storms, and we had a few high publicity storms (and the upper atmosphere wasn't rising in temp, but oceans were (which actually proves AGW/CO2 theory wrong), so for publicity sake, the theory was revised to claim that Global Warming would cause oceanic and surface warming, which would result in far more and bigger storms: give us your money now to stop this. But the science doesn't work that way as mentioned before. CO2 in the atmosphere should ABSORB more light/energy, meaning less gets down to warm up the sea. So a warming sea and bigger storms proves AGW/CO2 theory WRONG! But in a world where 2+2=5, pointing that out is grounds for criminal heresy. The far left will use anything to prove their theory, and if you give them money they can fix it. Obama in 2008 was predicting many more/stronger storms, but that electing him would stop the oceans rise. Then Obama became the longest serving president (since the 1851 start of NOAA's data) to not to see a major hurricane strike the U.S. during his time in office. He is also the first president since Benjamin Harris was in office 122 years ago to have no major hurricane strike during his term. So they're back to global warming should reduce storms. Of course odds are that some Hurricane will again strike, so they can declare that it was caused by man. But it's like watching people that think their rain dance has anything to do with local precipitation.

Harvey

           Main article: Hurricanes/Harvey

Hurricane Harvey hit Houston (2017.08.26) with up to 60" of rain, making it the wettest storm to ever hit the U.S. As a side note, it hit and flooded the house I later bought, and my community. However, the failure was only partly the fault of a 300 year storm. It was poor management of two lakes that caused most of the Damage; an upper lake (Conroe) opened it's floodgates, which exceeded the gate capacity of the lower lake (Lake Houston), so the water backed up, and flooded homes. Both had failed to drain in advance of the storm to increase capacity, and had failed to dredge properly. Those lakes/flood control were controlled by Democrat administrators. Democrat controlled Houston had refused to allow another company to dredge Lake Houston for them (for free), unless they paid for the sand they removed. The Democrats Media all responded to Harvey with a coordinate attack ("never let an opportunity to politicize and divide us, go to waste"), asking the same question, "Did Houston flood because of lack of zoning?" -- and again, Betteridge's law applies. No. There is no city in America that could have handled that water. Most would have fared more poorly. Betteridge's law of headlines says that any headline that ends in a question mark, can be answered with the word "no!" The New York Times: “Though its breakneck development culture and lax regulatory environment have been lauded for giving working people affordable housing, many experts and residents say that the developers’ encroachment into the wetlands and prairies that used to serve Houston as natural sponges has inevitably exacerbated the misery that the city is suffering today.” The Washington Post: “As the country’s fourth-largest city expanded, replacing prairie with impermeable surfaces such as pavement and concrete, the land was rendered less and less capable of absorbing floodwater. Without proper adaptive measures, this made an already flood-prone place more vulnerable.” The New York Daily News: “A big factor could be the lack of rules that helped develop Houston into the country’s fourth-largest city — and the biggest without a formal zoning code. Experts believe the lack of regulation, building in the federally designated flood area, and paving over wetlands might’ve contributed to the storm’s severity. As Gov. Greg Abbott wrote in response, “Zoning wouldn’t have changed anything. We would have been a city with zoning that flooded.” There's no city in the nation that could have handled 60" of rain in a few days, and not flooded. None. But more than that, consider the absurdity of the claim in the context of the following facts: Most of the growth in the region has occurred outside the city limits, in places like Katy, Texas—which, by the way, is zoned (much of it for single-family homes) flooding has been a regular feature of Houston’s landscape since the beginning of recorded history in the region (most of which predate urban sprawl) the major flooding was creeks and bayous backlogging and spilling over their banks as more water rushes in from upstream (not from urban runoff) Brazos river reached record levels and spilled over its banks well upstream of the the city (especially in the rural prairie far west of the city) In total acres, Houston has more parkland and green space than any other large city in America. After Harvey, Trump made a visit quicker than Obama managed for major catastrophes (and without playing golf first), and was well received by the public, and the first responders. Even two Texas Never-Trump'er Democrats, Al Green and Sheila Jackson Lee (one of whom has introduced articles of impeachment against him and another who has called for his removal under the 25th Amendment) met with him, and toned down the rhetoric (briefly). But that's not the headlines you read.
