   Is Al Gore selling the inability of motorists to purchase gas, as carbon offsets to Darryl Hanna?

   Bloomberg is a closet fascist and eco-loon, a pernicious combination.

   The average strength of all atlantic hurricanes and tropical storms, taken together, has not increased over the last 160 years:

   Hurricane/Tropical Storm Strengths, 1851 to 2010

   Nor would competent physical scientists expect otherwise, with only a 1°C rise in temperatures, as I sketch out at the above-linked short article. (Basically, the increase in atmospheric energy, for that rise in temperature, is only about 0.4%, or an increase in wind velocities half that, about 0.2%.)

   Why aren’t scientists loudly correcting people like Bloomberg in the mainstream media? Because — I keep reminding myself — it’s the politics, not the science, stupid.

   But think of the enormous economic benefits of not burning fossil fuels in this region. They must be making a fortune. (Remember according to David Appell every litre of fossil fuel burnt is a net economic negative that outweighs any economic benefit.)
