Last year as Irene made landfall, I posted that it did not have hurricane force winds. My post made Drudge and I got thousands of flame comments from warmists who insisted that Irene was the worst hurricane in history.
A year later, leading hurricane alarmist Kerry Emanuel has acknowledged that Irene was not a hurricane at landfall.
Last year, Irene was just a tropical storm when it made landfall, but caused immense damage and injury mostly owing to flash floods caused by intense rain.

Accuweather predicted a major hurricane.
Irene could be “once-in-50-year” hurricane for the Northeast from the standpoint of power outages caused by downed trees alone.
McKitten predicted a major hurricane for Long Island, and blamed it on Obama.
Hurricane Irene’s dangerous power can be traced to global warming says Bill McKibben—and Obama is at fault for his failed leadership on the environment.
Irene’s got a middle name, and it’s Global Warming.
As she roars up the Eastern Seaboard, everyone is doing what they should—boarding windows, preparing rescue plans, stocking up on batteries. But a lot of people are also wondering: what’s a “tropical” storm doing heading for the snow belt?
Category 3 Storms have rarely hit Long Island since the 1800s; one was the great unnamed storm of 1938, which sent 15-foot storm waters surging through what are now multimillion-dollar seaside homes.
That’s why more than 300 of us have been arrested outside the White House in the last week,
I remember! What a hoot that was! Warmists from across the globe came here to cry in their most indignant manner that it was too a hurricane!
You should go back and email them all. Just for fun. 🙂
I don’t believe there were any sustained hurricane force winds with Isaac either, at least at any of the NWS land stations. So the incredible streak of no hurricane landfalls in the US since 2008 might still be intact.
Unfortunately, there are an abundance of gullible groupies who take this Bill McKibben eco-loon seriously. He truly missed his calling: He should have been a stand-up comic. His outlandish pronouncements of a coming global warming Armageddon are a constant source of entertainment.
Meanwhile, back in the real world: there has been no global warming for 15 years (see HadCRUT3 unadjusted). And the U.S. hasn’t been hit by a major hurricane since Wilma in 2004. Hurricane activity is down and tornado activity has declined. But why let the facts get in the way of a good scare story.
I had no idea the few pitter patter gusts of drizzle upon my whirring window mount 10K BTU air conditioner was in fact connected to a real twister on the isle of Long.

That issue last year made me so mad that I was really to go to thier office and “go postal” on their asses. I live in Florida and reporting the FACTS about hurricanes is very important. Those GD liars deserve to lose their jobs over this.
Bill Mc kibbin has become nut job spacer along with the f**king rest of these warmists they paid well for telling wee piles of bull shit he becoming a Hansen sucking the IPCC/NASA’s balls can someone lock these guys up on a island some were they hope to freeze nut cases bill mc kibbin you need medical help you brains is up your hole dude you idea what you talking about I put money if bill boy mc kibbin on Greenlands ice cap told to take a piss under heavy freezing temps and a good wind the second his pish blew back at him froze he say global warming
‘That’s why more than 300 of us have been arrested outside the White House in the last week,…’
There’s no greater ego boost than to ennoble oneself. Badges of ‘honor.’ We’re savers of a world. Warmist, Occupiers, Jesus-Complexers. Behold our righteousness.
Ego is the birthplace of bigotry. The reason behind it all. Along with $$$ of course.
Anyone can be wrong; it’s just that warmist’s seem to have a monopoly.
I wish I could say I remember Irene – but unfortunately, I was sick as a dog that whole day, so slept through most of it. Isabel was much worse for me personally, and Virginia in general. Which I appreciates since I was so sick that day.
