Far right Christian extremists would probably try to blame global warming on Mohammed as well, except they don't believe in global warming. What a conundrum for them.

Running over people with a car is constitutionally protected? I've heard some loony tunes before but that takes the cake.

That lunatic emerged from the extreme version of a political stance you tend to represent. Apparently he hated non white immigrants too.

Apparently quite thin skinned is our argus.

Oh c'mon, no emoticons bouncing around? No over sized colorful text? Are you being lazy today?

Sitting the is usually bad. That's how they suck up heat and moisture kinda like a murderer loading his gun. And if you look at a sat. photo around 10N 20W you can see the potential of storm "Larry, Lloyd, Liam" whatever the next name is available.

Yes I guess I have contributed to thread drift (again) but I am certainly focused on the next disaster headed for basically the same area. Irma, and then there is Juan right behind. And then you said there is a "K". I feel for the people in their wake.

It sure as hell wasn't taught in my school, or any other one near me that I'm aware of. I went to school with some non white people (native as well as black)and what helped make those classes great, and this country great is that basic type of integration. The xenophobes don't know what they are missing out on.

Exactly. Don't focus on one hurricane season, or the lack thereof. Pay attention to the overwhelming consortium of evidence that point in the same direction.

Exactly right. I especially have to shake my head and roll my eyes at some of the ignorance displayed by some of the comments, especially regarding "how this country was built". Have our school systems failed that badly, or are some people just born with blinders on? Maybe it's the fault of the parents. Who knows?

But don't focus only on storms. There actually have been storms/hurricanes all along, we just didn't hear about them because they burned themselves at sea where they started, or didn't come ashore in our news coverage area. However there are also other indicators such as: in the last 20 years the ice pack in the arctic has diminished by roughly 800,000 sq. km. Then there is the significant ice melt on Greenland and the slippage of the Thwaites Glacier in the antarctic. And as I mentioned earlier the northern migration of arable land. Good if you're in Canada, not so good if you're in Mexico. And if the Thwaites continues to slip into the sea, I suggest not buying any seaside property in Florida.

I don't think anyone who understand the difference between weather and climate would single out one significant event of the former irrefutable proof of the latter. It's when you witness the combined evidences all pointing the same direction that we need to sit up and take notice.

Not only is it the increasing severity of storms, but also rising ocean temperatures, deterioration of ice sheets, rising sea levels, northern migration of arable land (which could actually benefit Canada). There is lots of evidence that points to global warming. The argument seems to revolve mostly around how significantly human activity has contributed to it.

Redundancy must eventually get boring.

We prefer it rather than bigotry by the shit load.

9/11 was certainly a planned event. AE911 is pretty much a joke. But there are those that like the giddy feeling somehow that it was Bush that conducted it, or that the planes flying into buildings was faked, etc., etc.

Naw that's your side of the border

Not here in Canada. We simply stand up and face the threat.

It seems to be a waste of time presenting actual data to xenophobes. They are kinda like the sea, "just ain't listening".

Touche? nope. But I do get a kick out of tweaking the brain dead conspiracy theorists as they scurry each time their theories get sunk and they grasp at yet yet another one. You really really actually think no planes flew into the buildings?

And your credibility regarding 9-11? At least HE tries.

Ah no, nothing's been challenged. I saw the planes fly into the buildings. And I'm still waiting to hear what the answer is to my the question as to how the required tons of explosives required got planted in the buildings so that Bush could blow them up. I keep getting out the popcorn, but never an answer. But I do like to tweek the conspiracists once in a while to see what wild idea they have deflected to of late.

Of course, Natives in the US were screwed long before Donald showed up. And you people even celebrate a slave owner on your currency. A number of them actually.

Nope, it's America's age old racism being revitalized by....Donald Trump. I was going to say resurrected, but it never has really died down there.

Yeah shut up and pass the pipe will ya.
