Hurricane Harvey is a major storm. It's the first major hurricane to hit the USA since 2005. It has to be taken seriously. Still, I have just seen two articles that falsely blame climate change for the intensity of this hurricane. It's an unbelievable claim.
In the past, the USA got hit by a major hurricane at least every two or three years. In the early 2000's, the global warming crowd told us that according to their models, America would see both stronger storms and more frequent hits from them. Then we had twelve years without even one major storm hitting the country. That is the longest stretch since records were first kept without a major storm. In other words, the global warming crowd wasn't just wrong in its prediction, it was spectacularly wrong. Now that record setting stretch is ending with Harvey, so what does the media do? It blames global warming for the storm. That's so dishonest, it's actually funny.
