Because until today there has never been a big tornado that has hit Oklahoma or any of the plains states for that matter. Who ever imagined something so crazy.

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming.

Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters.

How long will Republicans remain in denial?

Heat adds to the intensity of storms. Most storms are hitting Red States. How much longer can Republicans delude Red States into thinking it is just a myth?

I know, dude, it's crazy. I can't remember a single time in my life where a tornado has ever touched down on the flattest part of America. I mean, the whole Tornado Alley thing is just a jocular play on words, like calling a bald guy Curly, or a right handed guy Lefty, you know? Crazy stuff.

Or maybe a warming world is causing an increase in the severity of thunderstorms and that's producing more severe tornadoes than there used to be.

I dunno. While I believe in the effects of greenhouse gasses the severe storm thing seems a bit extreme or premature.

Still though, Red States do not apply for disaster aid from big government when an annual and predictable even occurs, right? ;)

i am surprised it took that long
 
Well, lets face it.....in Rhode Island, the governors offices can be adorned with portraits of Marx and a Soviet flag in each corner and nobody in that state is going to bat an eyelash.

Yes and it still snows in the winter time

Individually, you cannot pin a single storm on climate change. Collectively, there is a trend. Atrend so telling that 90% of scientists believe that man is contributing to climate change. But who do we listen to to set our climate change policy? Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck

Hitting Red States?

Hurricane Sandy hit a Red State?


Listen dumbass........when you have miles and miles of flat grassy plains, cold air from the North and warm air from the Gulf and no mountains to stop the winds and break them up you get tornadoes this time of year. Usually they begin to hit in March but this year has been colder than normal.

But of course colder weather means Global Warming to the low-information voter.

Sandy was just one. Katrina was another.

Shall I go on???
 
I'm still trying to figure out how enforcing pollution standards in one country (US) can prevent other countries like China from polluting the rest of the world? They have no anti-pollution programs and it looks like they are going to make anything we pump into the air and water look like cotton-candy and lolly-pops.
