    Evil oil companies! Lead plumbing! Resorting to strawman arguments and demogoguery is kind of a sign that you don't have much of an argument. The people that will be judged to be fools by history will be the clowns that lied to us about the degree at which the earth is warming, produced climate forecast models that have been wrong, wrong and wrong, and intimidated and suppressed dissenting opinions in the scientific community. How many billions of dollars have been spent in Europe and elsewhere hopelessly chasing this global warming fantasy? What a waste.

    I'm glad Al Gore wasn't in charge of Amsterdam when they built their dikes. His reponse would have been to reduce greenhouse gas emissions instad. Ouch.

    people need to understand that what made this storm so crazy was not only its size but it's trek.

    It's just really rare for a hurricane to interact with a front the way it did and then make a turn to the west. Not sure that is a result of higher SST which probably did add a bit to its power but no saying how much. Point is that it was a bad storm no matter what and probably woud have been regardless of man's interference.

    US policy won't make much difference anyway. China's coal usage will dwarf the US, Canada's exploitation of Tar Sands will be a major contributor. And once the tundras start thawing and decaying the effect will be exponential.

    The chance to have an effect is probably 20 years too late. Adapt or die.

    Sandy was not man made. Sandy was another in a handful of events which show that the Mayans were right. :)
