Hawaii Gov. Josh Green blames global warming

[SamInAZ]

Of course, climate change is making hurricanes more powerful and is causing more extreme weather events, like the flash drought in hawaii.

Sure...

Something tells me that the leadership on Maui isn't the MAGA crowd......something tells me democrats run the place...but I could be wrong.......I know if republicans did run the place, that would lead every story.,.....

These are the big landowners in the vicinity-- thousands of acres each ;- Larry Ellison of Oracle , Geoff Bezos ( solid CIA ) , Mark Zuckerberg ( solid CIA) and Oprah .The military inserts are unbelievable----- in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex league . If you think this was not a deliberate False flag ,good luck to you .

Climate change is measured over a 30 year long period. Frankly if it was the cause, a lot more than one small town at Maui would have gone up in flames. As it was, we also had high winds at Kauai and nothing at all caught on fire. The big island was closer to the hurricane and nothing there caught on fire either. I was on the same airplane as survivors were and some told me it was caused by downed power lines.

Why didn't he blame Trump?

Can’t let a story be told without your TDS.

He is merely a democrat doing his job of pushing the party narrative.

In this instance it's a matter of self preservation. Politics doesn't matter here, he is just trying to shift blame to try and keep his ass from getting chewed off entirely.

He just doesn't want to get yelled at for it happening and not responding the proper way. It got out of hand too quickly and the response time sucked and he is the face of it.

They do the same thing in California even though their fires happen because they about stopped doing control burns, deforestation, clean cutting brush and trying to prevent the fires. They spent their time and money on responding to fires instead of trying to prevent them.

No....actually it isn't......hurricanes are not more numerous or more powerful...that is a lie..

Alexander’s paper begins by remarking, “The purported link between extreme weather and global warming has captured the public imagination and attention of the mainstream media far more than any of the other claims made by the narrative of human-caused climate change.” This is odd because data and analyses from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the U.N. body that climate alarmists in academic, political, and media circles continually cite as the authoritative source of information on climate change, confirm that “if there is any trend at all in extreme weather, it’s downward rather than upward. Our most extreme weather, be it heat wave, drought, flood, hurricane or tornado, occurred many years ago, long before the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere began to climb at its present rate,” writes Alexander.

“Recent atmospheric heat waves in western Europe,” writes Alexander, “pale in comparison with the soaring temperatures of the 1930s, a period when three of the seven continents and 32 of the 50 US states set all-time high temperature records, which still stand today.”

Nor has the IPCC discerned or identified any long-term trend in drought patterns, either in the United States or globally. And even though rainfall has modestly increased in recent years, there is no evidence floods are becoming more frequent or severe. Many recent flood events can be traced almost entirely to land-use changes such as channelization, deforestation, the destruction of wetlands, and the building of dams, Alexander notes.

==========

If you don't believe that, then look at the series of charts below, which are taken from government sites, that depict trends in hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts and wildfires — all of which should be, according to environmentalists, on the uptrend.

What do you see in these charts. There is no trend in any of them.
-----
Look at the data on drought conditions, from the EPA. There is no meaningful increase from 1900 to 2016. In fact, the past decade has been relatively mild on the drought front, with several years below average.

The same is true when it comes to tornadoes. The number of tornadoes in 2014 was below the number in 1954, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association data show. Indeed, the trend line seems to indicate that tornado activity has been lower since the mid-1980s than it was in three decades before that.

What about hurricanes? Yes, this year was a bad one in terms of the number and damage caused by hurricanes. But these storms came after years of lower than normal hurricane activity, both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific. NOAA data show the annual Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) in each region going back to 1970.

It's always so easy to prove the left wrong by using actual science.

All islands in Hawaii are run by Democrats.

So why do buildings get devastated but trees a few feet away are untouched? And on Maui buildings disappeared but the outside plastic trash bins were untouched . What laws of physics explain that because I must have missed those lessons ?

This one stinks more of the allowed, abetted and encouraged category, like Pearl Harbor and the Capitol riot, all with ulterior motives.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green claimed Sunday that global warming played a major role in the Maui wildfire that destroyed a historic town and has so far killed at least 93 people.

Green spoke about the devastation in the centuries-old town of Lahaina during an appearance on MSNBC’s "The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart," describing the wildfire as a "fire hurricane" with gusting 80 mph winds and "1,000-degree heat creating fire cyclones going through buildings."

"Everything is burnt to the ground in Lahaina," the Democrat said, calling it a "war zone" that is "completely destroyed."

Green attributed strong winds from Hurricane Dora, which passed far to the south of the island last week, and very dry drought conditions on Maui to the fast-moving blaze.

"When fire jumped from one spot to another – there were three or four fires going on at the same time – it got seeded very quickly with those 80 mph gusted winds," he said. "And then the fire moved at essentially a mile per minute, 60 mph down through the community."

"That’s what a fire hurricane is going to look like in the era of global warming," Green warned.

Comment:
Hurricanes have hit Hawaii lots of times.
Governor Green is either dumb or a global warming fear monger.
Man Made Climate Change is a Left Wing Totalitarianist political tool of fear.
They say elect us and we can save you from global warming.

List of Hawaii hurricanes - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

A Hawaiian hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms in the Pacific Ocean and affects the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii lies in the central Pacific, where about four or five tropical cyclones appear each year, although as many as fifteen have occurred, such as in the 2015 season; rarely do these storms actually affect Hawaii. Tropical cyclone records were not kept before the 1950s. Earlier windstorms that struck Hawaii were not labeled as hurricanes.[1] Extratropical cyclones are also common, causing considerable damage; they are known as Kona storms, but are not included in counts of hurricanes.

Of course he did .. because Global Warming, climate change, [insert new catch phrase here] ... has superpowers to control everything.

Can't get a job .. climate change
Can't get a hard-on _ climate change
Trump is bad _ climate change

and the Kooks blame it on god's punishment

The Bible says in the end times there will be more Natural disasters. With you loons grooming 8 year olds I expect we are in big trouble.

This is why Dems never solve anything. They always identify the wrong cause.

Sorry, I don't take science advice from uneducated slobs who can't follow simple English posts.

Yes, warmer oceans will and do make hurricanes more powerful than they would be otherwise. It's a basic fact.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That "flash drought" happens every summer.
As does the monsoon season in Africa.

No, it doesn't. But thanks for stopping by to make something up.
