In 1821, Manhattan was split into two islands by the storm surge of a hurricane. A similar even happened last weekend. McKitten has determined from these two data points that Sandy is the new normal.
Eric Berger calls himself the SciGuy and is a big global warming advocate. He wrote this column yesterday.
My concern is whether the end justifies the means. My concern is setting expectations that Sandy, that large, destructive hurricanes striking the United States, is the “new normal.” My concern is that we’re telling people that we’ve entered an era in which super-storms are the new normal and that there will be a mega-disaster every year.
My concern is that we’re not debating facts when it comes to hurricanes and climate science.
IT’S SCIENCE, STUPID
Science tells us this is not a new normal.

It would appear the the British Ministry of Truth (aka BBC) rebroadcasts these twits wholesale. Also as noted before this broadcaster is wholly behind the Obama bandwagon. Nice to know they are unbiased or are they?

McKibben is a tireless producer of a fountain of crap.
