Atlantic Hurricane Season 30 Percent Stronger Than Normal

Posted by Soulskill on from the act-now-while-supplies-last dept.

MatthewVD writes "The National Hurricane Center reported today that the combined energy and duration of all the storms in the Atlantic basin hurricane season was 30 percent above the average from 1981 to 2010. At Weather Underground, Dr. Jeff Masters blogs that record low levels of arctic ice could have caused a 'blocking ridge' over Greenland that pushed Hurricane Sandy west. Meanwhile, Bloomberg BusinessWeek says, 'it's global warming, stupid.'"

    Of course they are. This is a natural reaction to be expected out of Statists. GW is the bullwhip by which to get legislation passed to push the agenda of social engineering. Oh, and followed by a "It's for the children" closure.

    This is, and has always been, about power and control of a few elites over the main population. Don't forget that. Don't you ever fucking forget that!!!
