OMG. How uninformed are you openwater?

Maybe take some time and look into your "consensus" reference which runs along the same lines as Mann's bogus Hockey Stick algorithm.

The UN no longer even refers to the "97% consensus" as it's a bogus number that was concocted by two grad students at the University of Illinois in 2009.

It was based on 77 of 79 handpicked responses of a larger 2 question survey posed to "scientist" of which less than 5% were actual climate scientists. The UN and (even John Kerry two years ago) distanced themselves from this bogus reference.

Also, hurricanes are a needed natural phenomenon which the frequency and intensity was showing decline over the last 15 years. These two events aren't any larger indicator of climate change than the most devastating hurricane which hit Galveston in 1900 killing well over 8,000.

The more we build along the Gulf shorelines the more prone we are to costly disasters that are only occurring naturally.
