It's the WEATHER!. We do not control it or effect it. Holy ****.
yes it is. What is that supposed to prove?
Jesus...the stupidity combined with the denial is blinding, just like looking into the face of the sun..........

Hey, he's gotta earn a paycheck somehow doesn't he? And if he tries to sound extra loony he will probably even get a bonus.

on the East coast this summer we have been concerned about global cooling. Have only been warm enough to get in pool a dozen days.
we have been tracking weather for a little over 100 years. the planet has been around a bit longer. doubt it is a record.
I understand how facts can sound looney to the ignorant. Here have some more craziness:
Climate catastrophes striking "From sea to shining sea ..."
At this time, America the Beautiful is facing a painful reality of being flooded, scorched, and threatened from 'sea to shining sea' by climate catastrophes.
Houston is just starting to dry out from Hurricane Harvey's 50 inch rain totals.
California is burning up
A major Labor Day weekend heat wave with scorching over 106F degree temperatures in San Francisco.
Los Angeles is burning, with the largest wildfire in LA's history.
Washington and Montana (here too) are burning up.
Record breaking heat in Oregon and Washington in August
Glacier National Park is burning and evacuated.
The East Coast is beginning to batten down the hatches.
Hurricane Irma could be a category 5 hurricane.
Storm tracks remain extremely uncertain, but odds are growing that somewhere on the East Coast will suffer a direct hit from this major hurricane.
Something that all these events share ... climate signals, signs (with scientific basis) that human-driven climate change is exacerbating the situation.
Climate catastrophes are happening not just From Sea to Shining Sea but across all the seas -- massive flooding in South Asia (with thousands dead and millions displaced), mudslides in West Africa, drought in Italy and massive fires in Portugal, record low-levels of Arctic ice, melting Greenland, ...
All too often, commentators will argue that "we must act now to avoid catastrophe ..." Looking at flooded Houston and burning Los Angeles, it is far past time to face reality: we are already in catastrophe and feeling catastrophic impacts. (Consider what you might have thought would be 'catastrophe' in terms of climate impacts decades ago ..) Across the globe, human-driven climate change (AGW) is exacerbating, accelerating, worsening, amplifying weather events to make hard situations into horrible. And, the situation will get worse -- no matter what -- due to latent impacts (the time delay) from the pollution we've already pumped into the atmosphere.
What we -- humanity -- does have is a choice to act to reduce just how catastrophic those events and the future situation(s) will be, to reduce the risks of total calamity for human society.
Even as the occupant of the Oval Office declares climate change a "Chinese Hoax" and fills the US government with climate science deniers, reality is reality ...
Where I live it's been cooler than normal the last few years. It averages out. Anyone who has taken a statistics class knows that the smaller your sample size the less accurate your conclusion. Cherry picking data from only certain parts of the planet makes it meaningless.
Yeah they are called natural disasters.....and they've been happening since the ******* dawn of time. Spare me. Instead of running around in hysterical circles screaming "Trump and Russia! Trump and Russia!" it's running around in circles screaming "Man Made Climate Change!" The only difference is with Climate Change,for a million of your dollars they can help make it go away. Now for 10 million, they will fix it permanently!

You're right we should never cherry pick, so let'e look at the whole planet......oh oh........

What a bunch of ****! How do you get through each day?
Katrina - 2005. $108 billion in damage, but not mentioned as a severe storm or flood. That graph is crap.
