Apparently, Hurricane Matthew is being pimped by left-wing science types to glom more yummy cash to push their dubious “climate change is bad” agenda. I suggest that Drudge and Limbaugh immediately cease doing Drudge and Limbaugh things, get together, and open their own weather bureau. THEN we’ll finally learn the TRUTH behind this liberal “weather forecasting” garbage. I’ll send them twenty bucks towards buying a shiny new anemometer, providing they set up shop RIGHT NOW. I hear Boca Raton is a nice location. Or Hilton Head. ---

Does Limbaugh still have a waterfront mansion in the Palm Beach area? If so, he should stick around on the balcony and see for himself. ---

Obama keeps his Weather Machine in the Oval Office closet, next to the Time Machine. I’m sure Limbaugh’s house is targeted, right after Mar-a-Lago. ---

I think I read that some of them think that Obama is not doing a thing to protect Trump’s Mar-a-Lago; or alternatively, that Obama has made the hurricane to target Mar-a-Lago… :smack: Besides wondering what they think Obama can do with a hurricane, there is the ignorance of not knowing that Mar a Lago was made like a fortress and has already survived past events. Just about the last place where help needs to go just before or after the Hurricane hits. ---

Most amusing is that it is _ **the very same dolts** _ who believe Billions of humans who have radically changed the usage of the Earth _cannot affect the climate_ even after decades. who also believe that, to further their malicious goals Obama and his fellow New World Order magicians can create and deflect hurricanes with just a few hours of effort. ---

> [@tenacious\_j](#): > > Those pesky Florida voters have got to go. We won’t let this year be a repeat of 2000! I still remember when conservative evangelical Pat Roberson said that Orlando was going to get it someday with a hurricane for supporting gays. A few months later his HQs in Virginia were hit by a hurricane, not Orlando. [http://www.pensitoreview.com/2006/05/18/god-reveals-weather-report-to-pat-robertson/](http://www.pensitoreview.com/2006/05/18/god-reveals-weather-report-to-pat-robertson/) If the forecasts are correct today’s hurricane will go up the east coast of Florida, it has already avoided the most democratically populated areas and it will continue over most of the red counties of Florida. And they do call things like that acts of god. Well, even Jesus said that the rain falls over the just and the unjust. The only lesson here is that we all should prepare and help anyone in need during and after a disaster. Regardless of their politics. ---

Suggesting that forecasters are making up hurricane intensity data is on a par with 9/11 Truther delusions. I will be disappointed (but not surprised) if some pundits give these two ammunition by leaping to conclude that this particular hurricane is an example of climate change in action. ---

Well, it is complicated, most of the media do get it wrong; scientists are not saying that climate change causes an specific hurricane. Only that the odds are changing for how often they pop up. And currently there is the curve ball that at this stage of the warming hurricanes could come less often\*\* but be more intense than before\*\*. > **[Hurricanes and Climate Change | NOVA | {BS](https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/hurricanes-climate/)** > > Why climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous. The reason is that global warming is making more water vapor and energy to be in the background, ready to fall on many when a hurricane manages to come through. The problem of continuing on the current level of CO2 emissions is that we can change the conditions once again, making not only the intensity of the hurricanes to increase even more (the current example of climate change in action), but to also increase the numbers of them coming up. ---

Stop trying to confuse us with your liberal facts! Trump will end any future hurricanes! All he has to do is blow his hot air in an anti-Coriolis direction and problem solved! Or, is it a pro-Coriolis direction? Meh. It doesn’t matter. Trump is always correct. Right, New-vee-dah? Hurricanes will change their spin to accommodate his! ---
