We Don’t Deny Harvey, So Why Deny Climate Change? - The New York Times:



'via Blog this'



Harvey is what we call weather.  Climate change?  In the geological sense, the climate is always changing so the expression is redundant except when used by the Climate Catastrophists who see it as an end of the world event.



Nicholas Kristof writes the standard piece we would expect from a journalistic partisan propagandist. He sees the main reason that storm hit Texas is that the US has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord.  This is a very long and incredible leap to make.  If you remember the Paris Accord it was primarily concerned with transferring wealth from the first world to the third, not a very effective way of accomplishing anything other than making Swiss Bankers happy as the money would very rapidly flow back to them from the Kleptocrats that run control these countries for the most part.



The main premise of the article is that hurricanes are now worse due to climatic conditions - a  concept not supported by facts.  Hurricanes have been less frequent in the last decade than previous ones.



Here is the data from the NOAA Hurricane Center:

Category	Average	Maximum	Years	Minimum	Years
Named storms (including subtropical storms)	11.7&	28	2005	4	1983
Hurricanes	6.3	15	2005	2	1982,2013
Major Hurricanes	2.4	7	2005*	0	many times, last 2013
USA landfalling hurricanes	1.7	6	1985, 2004, 2005+	0	many, last 2015
USA landfalling major hurricanes	0.6	4	2005	0	many, last 2016

As for Nicholas's asertion that the water tempurature has increased - who knows?  There has been so much temperature data manipulation by the "scientists" who ardently beleive in Global Warmng and want to have everything back up their theory that we cannot trust any temperature data.



One point he does make that is important is the link between damage and death and the increased number of people who live on very low lying ground which can be inundated in the event of flooding.

This is a problem in North America as much as in places like Bangladesh.  As the planet gets more and more crowded people are trying to exist is places where normally they would have avoided.
