Force 5 Hurricane Otis hits Acapulco, 100 dead

Imagine being so easily controlled and pathetic that your biggest fear in life is glistening from the walk from your air conditioned house to your air conditioned car on the way to your air conditioned workplace.

Those are the losers screaming that the sky is boiling. It’s all about them and their personal comforts. :wink:

What’s going to happen more? This year has been one of the weaker years. Hurricanes have been pulled north all season. I’ll take a repeat of this year every year.

More intense storms are going to happen more and more.

The energy has to go somewhere.

Just because the planet is warming does not mean the normal cycles are not the cause of specific weather phenomena. Force 5 hurricanes have been with us since the Saffir-Simpson scale was developed (1971.) Before that they were just major storms, but they existed all the same. What has changed is increased observation and forecasting, primarily as a result of satellites and computers. Media hype makes up most of the rest.

Note, one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall in North America occurred in 1900 on the Texas Gulf coast … at a time when they couldn’t even accurately measure eye wind speed. What was the global temperature then?

Perhaps, but that is not yet apparent.

However, I don’t fault you here. The Alarmists with their lap dog Media is very effective at influencing public perception.

It’s not alarmism. It is what is happening.

Whether or not you believe that global warming is man made… it is happening.

Both are happening. The earth is warming AND the Alarmists are hyping it for all they are worth. There is big money in being an alarmist. And power too. They love the feeling of the flock following along bleating the catch phrases they toss out for them.

What is the big money to be made?

Is it more or less than the money to be made in Petroleum?

Are you kidding? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Do you think Gore got rich as a politician? How about Greta? What has she produced other than fear?
