For example the fact that there has been no increase in the average strength or severity of hurricanes world-wide over the past 50 years is an "inconvenient" fact to those who want to pretend that Katrina was "caused by global warming"...

Who said that "Katrina was caused by global warming", there Strawman? :rolleyes:

Haven't seen that one. What I have seen repeatedly is that experts believe that we will see much more frequent severe weather, including strong hurricanes, in the future as a result of global climate change. There is a difference between these two statements, and if you want to obfuscate it you are going to have to sharpen your BS skills.

Did anyone see the news articles this past week about the polar ice cap melting rapidly in Greenland? Nothing to see, move along folks....

By the time hard core right wing asshats admit that global warming/climate change is a problem, (ie. interfering w/ the making of a fast buck), it will be way too late to reverse. Probably too late already. We are the only species stupid and lazy enough to do ourselves in for the privilege of wasting oil. What a joke. Glad that I caught the tail end of the party.
