The Climate Of Florida, boys and girls

No, you have just one point. 

A 300-mile wide hurricane in 1900 didn't get the same attention that it gets today. As an Oregonian in 1900, I probably would've never even heard about a hurricane hitting Florida. 

Nobody's talking about Oregon.  They're talking about Florida, where hundreds of thousands of people lived, had newspapers and wrote stuff down.

By the way, boys and girls (and this will definitely give away my age) I went through Hurricane Alicia in 1983. I was supposed to be in LaMarque, Texas (a small town between Galveston and Houston.)

The tropical storm was making its way across the Gulf. Around early Tuesday, local news sources said that the storm had STOPPED some 100 miles off the Texas coast and was building up strength. It became a small but powerful Category Three storm when it hit Galveston, roughly Wednesday morning around one ish. I remember because the hotel staff woke us up and made us all meet at the central part of the hotel, where the lounge was. All these people had bought pillows and blankets and were sacked out on the dance floor. There weren't that many hotel guests, but a lot of folks were coming in looking for shelter.

You could hear the storm from inside.  It sounded like a locomotive.

The hotel was without power until late Friday night. The city of Houston just shut down completely and for a couple  of weeks, you could see the semis going into the city with loads of glass to replace what was blown off the buildings.

No one has to twist my arm to get me to evacuate, if there is a need. And by the way, hurricanes don't just hit Florida. Some of the worst hurricane damage of all time occurred in New Orleans because of Katrina.

And I'm telling you that reporting wasn't as diligent, reliable or meticulous as it is today. Some hurricanes may not have been officially recorded.

and I'm telling you that computers and diligent empirical science wasn't required to notice 300-mile wide storm fronts that sunk ships, destroyed buildings and caused floods.

Actually, warm water FUELS hurricanes and helps sustain them.

And humans increase the amount of fuel available for hurricanes by increasing the  amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

And I'm telling you that the 1900's didn't have stark raving climate lunatics like they do today. Some hurricanes could have simply been passed off as bad storms and not worthy of official recording.

Nope. Warming is cyclic. Now go outside and enjoy the weather.

I understand what you think your point is, but that doesn't mean that folks back in the 1900's couldn't notice roofs being blown off, trees being knocked down, or ships being lost at sea.  ?

OK, so are you trying to tell me that there isn't one f*cking hurricane since 1900 that hasn't been officially recorded?

[Moonbox]

Tornadoes?  Sure.  Tropical storms, fine.  Full-fledged hurricanes, spanning 300-miles across the peninsula in an era where building construction was flimsier and sea travel was far more dangerous?  Unlikely.

There's nothing to deny, Diapers. The world is rotating like it always does and I'm enjoying life without so much as a climate driven hitch.

Take a break. Your woke addled brain desperately needs rest.  

Maybe you can POINT OUT any OTHER EVIDENCE from that post, but I doubt it.

Did you completely miss the network news this week about 1 in 1000 year FLOODING in the North East?

Or, if you didn't see it personally it didn't happen? LMAO

You are Deluginal.

And you're standing somewhere else, 600 miles away. Are you trying to tell me that the hurricane didn't happen because you couldn't see it?

If you're 600 miles away from a hurricane hitting FL, you're NOT IN FL.

But plenty of people WERE. Duh.

Well, if you didn't hear about it, it never happened, right? You are hilariously self-absorbed.

There is NOTHING "stark raving climate lunatic" about the damage done by STRONGER hurricanes. Many die. Duh.

Nope. You're deluginal. Warming is TRENDING UPWARDS. Recently setting a worldwide record high for 4 days in a row.

Now granted that is WEATHER, but setting modern historical record HIGHS is SIGNIFICANT for CLIMATE.

YUP. 100 years ago, there wasn't the technology we have today. 

Even unhinged perverts like Antifa cultists can pull up images like below - that is, of course, if they're not outside holding up traffic or setting cars on fire.

100 years ago people in Florida didn’t have the technology to know if they were in the middle of a hurricane?  Floridians are famously dumb but they’re not THAT dumb

The facts do not agree.

CO2 is not even a percentage point of all greenhouse gasses. And humans do not emit that much CO2. As my reliable sources have proven, TERMITES release more CO2 than ALL HUMAN ACTIVITY.

The vast majority of the earth's surface is WATER. 97 percent of all greenhouse gasses is WATER VAPOR, which HUMANS HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH.

Those are the facts. Get your head out of your ass.

You posted NO EVIDENCE in support of your "point."

"Mother Nature" does NOT dump giga-tons of fossil fuel burning GHG into the atmosphere EVERY YEAR.

How about you at least acknowledge that FACT?

There's that word again..."FACT".

Here's a "FACT".

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co-emissions-by-region

Oh my...turns out the biggest carbon polluter is international transport. Closely followed by Asia India Africa and South America. Together they represent over half...well over half...of all carbon pollutants. Now who's insisting travel and the major polluting nations, curtail their carbon usage? Well...nobody.

Instead we have an army of twits here, lecturing us constantly, about our evil fossil fuels industry. The result...no real decline in carbon globally, economic hardship globally, aaannnd...

A bunch of self-serving, sanctimonious twits gluing themselves to the art of the masters.

This abject bullshit needs to end.

Exactly! 
1896 - 1969: EIGHT hurricanes in 75 years

2004-2022- EIGHT hurricanes in 18 years. 
Including… FIVE hurricanes in the last FIVE years. 
 

Catch a clue.  

There were hurricanes but they didn’t impact people because half of Florida’s current urban development was uninhabited a century ago.  More people means that more of them are impacted by hurricanes and other natural disasters.

Move away from hurricane areas if you can't handle them. 

It's sage advice.

Florida isn't the only state that sees hurricanes, or are you so bent on the crazy idea that man creates climate catastrophes in Florida that you didn't stop to think about that?

Dude you are so confused you don’t even know what you’re arguing anymore. You’re just responding to respond.
