Warming Alarmists Redefine What A Hurricane Is So We’ll Have More Of Them

IBD: Whether they admit it out loud or not, many global warming alarmists want more destructive weather events to validate their assumptions. But what happens when they can’t get their “dirty weather,” as Al Gore calls it? Then they’ll just have define down what a disaster is.

Eleven years ago, Gore swore that “the science is extremely clear now.” Global warming was “magnifying” the “destructive power” of the “average hurricane,” he said. Man’s impact on the environment “makes the duration, as well as the intensity of the hurricane, stronger.”

The weather refused to cooperate with Gore and the U.S. went 11 years without a hurricane making landfall. But Hurricane Matthew renewed the alarmists’ faith in their own nonsense. Acting is if 11 days rather than 11 years had passed, Gore said last week that in Hurricane Matthew, “Mother Nature is giving us a very clear and powerful message.” From the same stage in Florida, Hillary Clinton said “Hurricane Matthew was likely more destructive because of climate change.” The Washington Post, ever dutiful to the man-made global warming narrative, asked climate scientist Michael Mann (whose hockey stick chart supposedly proves human-caused warming but fails the test for some) about her statement. Naturally, he told the Post she was “absolutely” right.

Strain though they might, they’re not convincing anyone who isn’t already riding along on the climate-change disaster wagon. And they know they’re not. So the climate-hysteria movement needs a new approach. It has to in essence redefine what a hurricane is so that what had before been tropical storms and hurricanes that didn’t make landfall will in the future be catastrophic “hurricanes” or “extreme weather” events that they can point to as proof that their fever dreams are indeed reality.  MORE

  1. Just as the have ‘redefined’ the term gobal warming, climate change, or whatever its called now.

    Honesty in labeling:
    -weather grifting
    -climate money grabbing scheme
    -enrich the global elitist weather (‘It is whatever we call it)

  2. As Moynihan so aptly described “defining deviancy down” the Globaloney Warming-ists must broaden the scope, just as the Corps of Engineers and the EPA have re-defined “wetlands” to include the morning dew, to continue to justify their foolishness, imbecilities, and lust for power.

    These people cannot be reasoned out of their zealous devotion to their fantasy cult – they must be … corrected.

    izlamo delenda est …

  3. As long as the metrics for damage from a weather event are to be reclassified, they should also be offset by the advantages of climate change. For example, the globaloney warming and increased CO2 levels equals better plant life in an area that would otherwise be unable to sustain as significant of plant life. Better plant life equals parts of the world now receive better food and that means less people die from starvation.

    Billions of people worldwide have smartphones and we know how people can’t live without them. That means billions of lives are better off every single day thanks to contributing to global warming.

    Medicines and the trip in an ambulance save millions of lives every single day, thanks to contributing to global warming.

    Billions of people worldwide are better off with a job they can commute to, thanks to contributing to global warming.

    If you combine all the metrics together and then point to specific extreme weather events blamed on climate change what you have is a net POSITIVE benefit for mankind.

    The narrative has been for so long that we are going to be wiped off the earth, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a decade, maybe next century — But the proof is the human species is thriving in the best time in recorded history to be alive. We are no where near close to becoming extinct as the alarmist would have you believe, and hilariously so when a single storm kills a couple dozen souls while ignoring the positives.

  4. They are doing this to make you stupid, compliant, and silent. Mostly silent. Asserting falsehoods and refusing to acknowledge correction or dissent is the means to achieve this end.

  5. Libs. They changed the vernacular of this scam from Global Cooling to Global Warming to Climate Change all within 40 years. When racism pretty much died from society, they changed the rules whereby whites are now accused of being racists just because of their skin color, ergo, racism will always be around for the race-profiteers to profit. And what about marriage? Hell, they didn’t change the word. Oh no. They changed the meaning of marriage that has been accepted by almost all societies (and people with actual brains) since civilization dawned. I can go on about the meaning of rape, justice, culture, etc., but you get the picture
