Saw this one coming: Hurricane Irene caused by... GLOBAL WARMING

Hurricane Obama- the worst one to ever hit the US

And what, pray tell, caused the bigger one that hit New York some 72 years ago? From The Politico via memeorandum: Was Hurricane Irene caused by global warming?

“Irene’s got a middle name, and it’s Global Warming,” environmental activist Bill McKibben wrote Thursday night in The Daily Beast.

That is just SO clever that it's like splitting atoms with his mind.

He argued that this year’s hot Atlantic Ocean temperatures and active spree of hurricanes — coupled with droughts, floods and melting sea ice elsewhere on the globe — are “what climate change looks like in its early stages.”

Besides, “what’s a ‘tropical’ storm doing heading for the snow belt?” asked McKibben. He also said the storm represented bad timing for the Obama administration’s favorable environmental impact statement on TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which environmentalists label a danger to the Earth’s climate.

But not so fast, hurricane scientists say: Not only is it impossible to tie any single hurricane to global warming, but researchers are also still fiercely debating whether the changing climate is making — or will make — tropical cyclones either stronger or more frequent.

It’s also not even clear that hurricane seasons are getting worse over time, some researchers say. After all, New York City and Long Island have been hit by nine previous hurricanes from 1858 to 1991, according to NOAA records, including the disastrous 1938 storm known as the Long Island Express. And the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history struck 111 years ago — the 1900 storm that killed an estimated 8,000 people in Galveston, Texas.

But why let facts stand in the way? Remember when liberals insisted that we would see more Category 5 hurricanes devastating the US because of global warming? That was back in 2005. Where are those Cat 5s making landfall? More from NewsBusters, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit, Pajamas Media and Conservatives4Palin. Al Gore had to get into the act too. Also via memeorandum: Gore: Eat less meat to fight warming

Al Gore wants society to ditch meat-heavy diets and go organic to combat global warming.

"Industrial agriculture is a part of the problem,” Gore said Friday during an interview with FearLess Revolution founder Alex Bogusky. “The shift toward a more meat-intensive diet,” the clearing of forest areas in many parts of the world in order to raise more cattle and the reliance on synthetic nitrogen for fertilizer are also problems, he added.

Instead, Gore advocated organic farming and relying on “more productive, safer methods that put carbon back in the soil” to produce “safer and better food.”

You see folks, Al Gore is borderline morbidly obese because he has eaten too much tofu over the course of his life. Organic bean sprouts too. So don't ask him any questions about his own diet.
