@ThomasJ. All you have done is set up a strawman. Which, incidently, is a logical fallacy. Igo Vegter is spot on in his article. I don't see any Climate Change denialism as you allege. He is simply pointing out many established and historical facts.

Climate change and global warming (although they are not the same and differ in many respects) are naturally occuring phenomena. Granted, Homo Sapiens do implement destructive phenomena (pollution, green house gasses, destruction of forrestation etc.) with regard to the environment. But, how do you measure and make the distinction between man made and natural phenomena?  But that is not the gist of the article.

The thrust of the article is pointing out that the occurence of Hurricanes, as we have just witnessed, are nothing new. They have been naturally occuring, in the region and elsewhere, for thousands of years. And there are many lobby groups, like the superstitious in the religious fraternity, that are driving an agenda.
