Saw a graph the other day. There is ZERO increase in hurricane activity in the Atlantic since 1850!!! Just normal cycles up and down. Climate Change is pure propaganda

"Over the last several weeks, many mainstream news media outlets have claimed that hurricanes are becoming more expensive, more frequent, and more intense because of climate change." Yup. "The increasing cost of hurricane damage can be explained entirely by more people and more property in harm’s way. " De Nile is more than a river in Egypt, but less than a 10 foot storm surge in Florida. -- “strong storms are becoming more common in the Atlantic Ocean" And in other oceans, too. Remember the good old days of denial, when it was "It's been X days since a major hurricane hit the US:? -- "University of Colorado scientist Pielke, Jr. in the late 1990s literally invented the method of “normalizing” the cost of hurricanes" I think he's already won his bet, with 10 years to go.: If he makes another one, he should include wildfire deaths. 31 MAY 2011 Donald Boudreaux: I'll Take That Bet Writing in the WSJ last week economist Donald Boudreaux of George Mason University offers to make a bet in order to make a point about human-caused climate change in response to Bill McKibben's silly essay from earlier in the week in the Washington Post: "I'll bet $10,000 that the average annual number of Americans killed by tornadoes, floods and hurricanes will fall over the next 20 years. Specifically, I'll bet that the average annual number of Americans killed by these violent weather events from 2011 through 2030 will be lower than it was from 1991 through 2010" .I am willing to take this bet in order to raise awareness of the fact that both sides of the debate over climate change debate can't see the forest for the trees. The factors that will drive loss of human life due to weather extremes in coming decades will be increasing vulnerability and exposure. rogerpielkejr.blogspot.com -- He has a point; natural disasters only kill people when they occur in regions there are people to be killed. Do you think either side will claim that Puerto Ricans aren't Americans, so Maria doesn't count?
