Anyone remember Hurricane Floyd?
The remains of it hit the UK as the 1987 October Great storm.

Yeah, there have been terrible storms throughout history. But when they hit now, they're because of "Global Warming", according to some people.
They were talking about a hurricane in 1900 that nearly wiped out Galveston...which was prettymuch the reason for Houston being there. Without that hurricane, Galveston would have remained the dominant city for quite a while. But Galveston has had all sorts of bad things happen to them, it's almost amazing it's survived this long.
It aint just global warming, you cannot point the finger at it just now.
According to analysis of trapped particles of the atmosphere in the artic scientists have found it was a hell of alot hotter in prehistoric times than it is now.

Yeah, sure, OK, whatever, Hail the Glorious Empire, Long Live Emperor Bush and so on.Originally Posted by Sasquatch
A normal person wouldn't have to clarify that "tragic" was referring to the loss of life and the destruction, not the few extra cents at the pump. Everybody else understood that, just not you.
And wrong again -- I said that your idea of shutting down every company that might have had something to do with one early death was stupid and would result in every company shutting down, period. And it wasn't in a thread, it was in a PM that you sent me ater getting stomped every which way in a public thread.
I don't want to drag your capitalist drivel into this topic, so just stop with this whole thing (I know I started it, so I shall stop too).

'Neo-Conservative', ey? Nothing with 'neo' can be good... it means it didn't work the first time and someone hasn't got it...
Who tried? Liberals? Scientists? Evil chimps with bicycles for teeth? Elaborate!I guess most liberals tend to forget the big "global cooling" scare they tried back in the 70s.
...
And Shodens right- it was hotter inpre-historic times. Infact, the last few million years are the first time that the earth's had a permanent ice cap for hundreds of millions of years.
But that doesn't change global warming, wether or not it caused the hurricanes.

This is getting me heavilly interested in Meteorology.
Global Warming or not this is indeed an active and violent hurricane season, we may see another hurricane like Andrew or David if this keeps up.
A hurricane the size of Rita with conditions and route of Andrew could screw the coast but if the right precautions are taken less damage and casualties will take place.
Even if Rita flopped there is no reason to get over confident or pissed off.
It's mother nature and you cannot fight against it.

"Neoconservative" is a term coined by "neoliberals" to try to make "conservative" sound worse.
And "liberals...they" would convey that "they" is referring to "liberals". Simple enough, right? Yes, liberals tried a "global cooling" scare a few decades ago. Look it up.
Yes, global warming may even help the creation of more powerful hurricanes. Most hurricanes gain power as they travel over warmer water. The question is still whether or not human interference is causing it, or if it's simply the continuation of natural cycles.
Hurricane Kenneth is on his way.

Hooray.
