    @GreenLantern," not to mention all the unemployed construction workers rebuilding the roads and trains and buildings, the stores that sell the construction equipment, the painters to paint the houses, the manufacturing that goes into making the paint and nails and wood and asphalt and then there is the practice that helps make all these man made objects stronger and better and able to withstand Mother Nature." Too bad those infrastructure jobs aren't going to happen since Republicans keep saying we don't have the money and keep blocking any and all of Obama's Stimulus plans to retrofit the US national infrastructure. And, unfortunately , man is destroying more of Mother Nature's more efficient, less expensive healthy natural ecosystems protecting against climate change faster than we can build more expensive , less efficient , man-made artificial structures --just look at the inefficiency ,highly expensive New Orleans levees system(that Bush refused to complete because he said it was too expensive to make them strong enough to hold against a Katrina-strength hurricane)Bush scrimped;people died. Mother Nature's New Orleans wetlands ecosystem had been a very effective natural barrier from hurricanes for centuries until man destroyed much of it to make room for altering the Mississippi River for larger shipping commerce.

    Nooo they would never do that.... and NHC Director Max Mayfield didn't retire suddenly after saying that global warming had nothing to do with increased hurricanes. Nope, never.

    There was no strong hurricane named Katrina that destroyed the levees. Strength refers to the wind and the levees were not blown down. It rained. It rained hard. It flooded.

    People died because they didn't evacuate. Simple as that. Evacuate or die. Nothing to do with whoever was in power at the time.

    Looks like Clinton wants to shame the deniers or almost make it illegal to deny climate change here in the US like Germany makes it illegal to deny what Hitler did.

    And no I'm not just throwing Hitler out there, its true.

    Holocaust denial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Holocaust denial is explicitly or implicitly illegal in 16 countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Switzerland.

    @Robb, You're an absolute lunatic if you can equate the Nazis with the rights of crack-pot climate denier cranks freedom of expression to spread idiocy as 'science' . You can't convince anyone with silly analogies. Stick to scientific observation, description, and prediction,but wait! you've run out of any verifiable facts so you resort to making stuff up. Thank for the laugh, dark humorist.

    Yup, it is jargon, because it is all you push, and well because I said so! Also, I have no clue who the lefty-pinko conspiracy cult you are referring to, so I am missing the reference. So therefore I am not missing the reference.

    This thread got a whole lot funnier yesterday!

    You're clueless.... my post was about being forced to believe a certain way and no freedom of thought or speech. Remember America, land of the free thought and speech? Keep up because if you can't understand that, you can't expect me to take you seriously that you understand scientific thinking on complex subjects like climate change.

    I watched it last night. He didn't flat out say that it is Global Warming but that it could be just one explanation and something worth thinking about. Bolaris said something similar but said that it wasn't just Global Warming but a combination of that and a other weather phenomenon.

    If Hurricane said it, it must be true.
