Let's say a weather disaster hit during the time of the Pilgrims but there were only a few teepees and huts to get damaged - no billion-dollar disaster. As the population has grown, there are more and more cities, and more and more investments have been made in buildings and other infrastructure. Inflation has also artificially increased the value of those densely packed investments so the dollar value of the damage for the exact same weather event has SKYROCKETED. The dollar value is now much larger, but weather events ARE NOT intensifying. The weather isn't getting weirder, PERIOD.
Don't believe it? Just search on "the weather isn't getting weirder".
The truth is that extreme left-wing liberal loons are exaggerating the weather to forward their nutcase agenda.
Here's an inconvenient fact - the US just broke the all-time record for the longest period between >CAT 3 hurricanes making landfall. It's now 2235 days.
Don't believe it? Just search on "longest period on record without a major hurricane in the US".
Since records have been taken, never before has it been so long between major hurricanes. Want to know why? IT'S BECAUSE HURRICANE FREQUENCY AND HURRICANE ENERGY HAVE DROPPED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS. You can find that fact by searching on the web too.
ninja,
I never said that they were un-biased. Yours are not un-biased either. You don't have to have heard of it. The fact is, you don't seem to have a productive counterargument, so you just dismiss what I/we post as "biased" and "incorrect."
Exactly. Every source which is trying to argue something is biased to an extent. Biased towards their argument, well, more biased towards their argument than the other. To say that his sources are unbiased is absolute crap. Even I say that we, as humans, have SOMETHING to do with it, but it is not our fault. (integration)
by EmpireGeorge___-- December 8, 2011 2:07 PM EST Forty-Four, the way they dispute what you say, is they say "but this warming is happening at a much accelerated pace, then those numerous ice ages and warming periods, thousands or millions of years ago.
So, to them, the accelerated pace alone, apparently "proves" it's man, and not a natural warming trend.
Don't question, don't challenge, don't even discuss other warming contributors, because if you do, they will just label you as a denier, uneducated and a whole assortment of things and terms, because genuine scientific inquiry and any contrary data, must be immediately dismissed, because it eats away at their assertions

The way that I dispute it is with the release of the CO2 trapped within the ice. That goes into the atmosphere, accellerating the melting process naturally. Plants take care of that eventually, and we go back into cooling. We may be cutting down trees and what not, but we still have something. That will take care of it eventually. Natural
Keep in mind, I am not saying it is completely natural. I think we have a little bit to do with it, but I don't buy that it is entirely our fault...I don't even think we are doing enough to cause warming without those other factors.
Complete NONSENSE. Let's say a weather disaster hit during the time of the Pilgrims. No one was there to see it, and there were only a few teepees to get damaged - no billion dollar disaster. As more and more investments have been made in buildings and other infrastructure, and as inflation has artificially increased the value of those investments, the dollar value of the damage for the same weather event has SKYROCKETED. The weather isn't getting weirder, period. Weather events ARE NOT intensifying.

Apparently there are some in the "business" community who now actually believe we are experiencing climate change, and at least in part it is caused by humans' activities. These "business" interests are led by the insurance industry, the companies who will actually have to shell out for the disasters. This is going to cost all of us more in the form of higher premiums, higher deductibles, and more out of pocket expense. Those who do not give credence to global climate change and man's part in it are nothing more than selfish, self-centered morons who want the rest of us to carry the cost of their lifestyles. There will come a time when enough people will say.... enough.
Global warming is a natural phenominon that occurs every some-odd thousand years. It will reverse itself, but I have no idea when. I am not an expert in that type of thing
Hold on climate changers. There are other factors at work. Don't forget that there's been a huge increase in spending across the board on disaster response. Every disaster forever after Katrina will now cost much more due to the huge mobilization of disaster resources that is now, not just needed, but expected.
