As if the storm in Iraq weren't enough. If ocean temperatures are as warm as they were last year for as long as they were (well into the fall), then we will see more powerful hurricanes this coming year. The Democrats should make the environment, science and planning one their key issues. Islamists may be trying to terrorize, but they are babes in the wood compared to Nature when the climate gets out of whack. Unfortunately for Europe, they have even more to fear than we do if the Gulf Stream gets compromised. Not to mention all the low lying lands in Asia. And of course coastal cities in the US, many of whom are blue states. Guess what we really need to do is follow ol' Pat R, and pray. God is angry that so many of us think gay marriage and adoptions should be allowed. And after all, doesn't Revelations say that the Endtimes will be accompanied by myriads of power storms? Sway to the music and pray. With waving arms and one of those very odd smiles on your face. Here are a few data points: Global CO2 levels are way outside what have been historical norms over several hundred thousand years. All ten of the hottest years on record, globally, have occurred in the last 15 years. Last summer, all-time heat records were set in both the U.S. West and East. Global ocean temperatures are far outside of historical norms. Even after last year's devastating Hurricane Katrina, the subsequent Hurricane Wilma was briefly the most severe hurricane ever recorded. Last year Japan hit an all-time record for typhoons --10. The previous record was 7. The largest downpour ever seen occurred last summer in India. Thirty-five years ago there were an average of 225 days when Alaska's tundra was frozen enough for trucks to drive. Today there are only 75.
