The US was hit by seven hurricanes during 1886, the largest one year total on record. Two of these storms were major hurricanes – both of which hit Texas .
By contrast, the US has not been hit by a major hurricane since 2005 – the longest such period on record. The lack of major hurricanes is no doubt a direct result of man’s evil interference in the climate system.
Hansen tells us that 1886 was one of the coldest years on record. He also tells us that active hurricane seasons are caused by warm ocean water, and that several billion A-bombs worth of man-made heat have accumulated in the ocean since 1886.
In other words, Hansen is a completely incoherent, self-contradictory disaster of a scientist. That is why liberals cling to his every word, and why experts like Martin Hoerling are beginning to step forward and condemn his junk science.
There was a price to be paid for tampering with the temperature data. By cooling the past, Hansen’s whole story became incoherent.
