Let'see, you live in a hurricane prone area
I evacuated for a hurricane in 1964, and we got a CAT 3 that did a lot of damage. I didn't evacuate again till 1999. That's 35 years later! He veered off and we didn't get a drop. I evacuated in 2016 and she hit but skimmed us. And and then AGAIN in in 2017 and we got hammered pretty good.
Something's going on. At this juncture it does NOT matter if is manmade or Mother Nature is just pissed, we will have to make the adjustments. She will not bend to MAN'S will. Period.
Is there a point to be made here? You live in a hurricane prone area and were hit in '64 when climate scientists were predicting a new ice age and you got hammered again a half a century later and you think "something is going on"?
How many times are your going to repeat that lie, liar?
What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?
In the thirty years leading up to the 1970s, available temperature recordings suggested that there was a cooling trend. As a result some scientists suggested that the current inter-glacial period could rapidly draw to a close, which might result in the Earth plunging into a new ice age over the next few centuries. This idea could have been reinforced by the knowledge that the smog that climatologists call ‘aerosols’ – emitted by human activities into the atmosphere – also caused cooling. In fact, as temperature recording has improved in coverage, it’s become apparent that the cooling trend was most pronounced in northern land areas and that global temperature trends were in fact relatively steady during the period prior to 1970.
At the same time as some scientists were suggesting we might be facing another ice age, a greater number published contradicting studies. Their papers showed that the growing amount of greenhouse gasses that humans were putting into the atmosphere would cause much greater warming – warming that would exert a much greater influence on global temperature than any possible natural or human-caused cooling effects.
By 1980 the predictions about ice ages had ceased, due to the overwhelming evidence contained in an increasing number of reports that warned of global warming. Unfortunately, the small number of predictions of an ice age appeared to be much more interesting than those of global warming, so it was those sensational 'Ice Age' stories in the press that so many people tend to remember.
The fact is that around 1970 there were 6 times as many scientists predicting a warming rather than a cooling planet. Today, with 30+years more data to analyse, we've reached a clear scientific consensus:
97% of working climate scientists agree with the view that human beings are causing global warming.
