Climate experts like Michael Bloomberg and Bill McKitten tell us that global warming caused hurricane Sandy, which is clearly indicated by the fact that October was a cold month in the eastern US. Thousands of record lows were set east of the Rockies. Record snow fell in much of the East during hurricane sandy.
Before USHCN tampering, October temperatures in the US were 54th coldest since 1895. The top ten warmest Octobers all occurred before 1970.
October hurricane strikes have also declined
No. Sandy started in the warm Topics. What do the sea temps look like?
If you have a point to make, make it. If you are going to assert that warm water in the tropics, fueled by CO2 caused the storm, or that warmer water and/or warmer air from CO2 increased the power of the storm, make your case.
The case for that has already been made in the scientific literature. Co2 increases temps. Warmer air holds more moisture. Lack of Arctic ice causes blocking patterns. Sea temps off the coast of Africa where Hurricanes form are warmer than average. Join the dots.
I’ll join the dots for you. You have no idea what you are talking about. http://blog.chron.com/sciguy/2012/11/there-will-be-fewer-sandy-like-storms-in-the-future/

The only dots to connect are the ones that show you are a neurotic lunatic. Any climate data turns into a rorschach test that shows just how crazy you actually are.
So you believe his summary?
“My point is that while there are a lot of very good reasons to be concerned about climate change, notably heat, drought and rising sea levels, an increase in “super” storm activity at present is not yet detectable, and science tells us it won’t be until the middle of the century at least.”
Or just bits cherry picked from it?
Yes, sea level rise will make the effects of hurricanes worse.
I was referring to the part which related to your mindless ad hoc explanation for Sandy.
So you are playing the crazy and stupid game today Laz?
Lazarus-
CACC flinger David Appell thinks your dot connecting is cack.
“I am really skeptical about these kinds of chained arguments about very complex systems — it seems to me you can string a few such ideas together to prove anything, and the systems are so complex no one can prove you wrong (or right)…
And where was this argument in any of the recent years when no major hurricanes hit the U.S.? These kind of arguments only get made after a storm, never before them.”

Joe has a good go at Gore –

Unless you can show a global trend in a data set any claim that event X is caused by “global” warming is bullshit. This is really not a complicated point to understand…
