A massive storm surge killed thousands of people in England and Wales in 1607.
The authorities predictably responded by blaming the flood on English sins.
Gods Warning to his people of England.
MANY are the dombe warnings of Distruction, which the Almighty God hath lately scourged this our Kingdome with; And many more are the threatning Tokens, of his heavy wrath extended toward us: All which in bleeding hearts, may inforce us to put on the true garment of Repentance, and like unto the Niniuits, unfainedly solicite the sweet mercies of our most loving god: Therefore let us now call to remembrance the late grievous and most lamentable Plague of Pestilence, wherein the wrath of God tooke from us so many thousandes of our friendes, kindred and acquaintance : let us also call to remembrance the most wicked and pretended malice, of the late Papisticall Conspiracie of Traytors, that with powder practiced the subversion of this beautiful kingdome: And lastly let us fix our eyes upon theise late swellings of the outragious Waters, which of late now hapned in divers partes of the Realme, together with the overflowing of the Seas in divers and sundry places thereof: whole fruitful valleys, being now everwhelmed and drowned with these most unfortunate and unseasonable salt waters, doe fore-shew great Barrennes, and Famin to ensue after it. (unlesse the Almightie God of his great infinit mercy and goodnesse doe prevent it.) But now oh England, be not overcome with thine owne folly: Be not blinded with the overmuch securitie of thy selfe, neyther sinke thou thy selfe in thine owne sinne: for since the generall dissolution of the whole world by Water, in the time of Noy, never the like Inundation of watry punishment then hapned now here related to the griefe of all Christian hearers, as by this sequell it shall heare appeare.
The mayor of New York pulled a repeat performance this week – blaming the storm surge on our carbon sins, and calling for carbon absolution to be paid. Bloomberg said that people who disagreed with his assignment of blame were “deniers.”
While I live in the countrey of Glovcester, fortunately I’m high enough up the hill to avoid the worst of any recurrence, should God see fit to punish the sins of the English again.
Not all the folks in New York are behind the mayor, some of them are in his face.

Will voting still occur in NY ?
After all Obama gave the lead – “Voting is the best revenge” – so get revenge on those who abandon you !
What disturbs me the most in the rantings of the climate end-is-nigh zealots is the giddy excitement that has them rooting for any natural disaster to be more devastating in property damage and loss of life for the sole purpose of them being able to yell “We told you so!” This is the hallmark of deeply mentally deranged individuals looking to satisfy their baseless beliefs even at the expense of their fellow man.

It’s incredible that it took a superstorm to push climate change to the forefront of US politics and the election race.

Weather happens and it isn’t always pleasant. How much tax you pay will not change that.
