THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 27.—The typhoon which swept over the Philippine Islands on Oct. 6 was the cause of one of the worst disasters reported from the Southern Ocean In many years- Thousands of lives were lost, among those who perished being many Europeans, and the damage to property was something appalling.

The difficulty of getting news from the Islands is great at any time, and owing to the remoteness of some of the provinces visited by the hurricane full details of the 1st of November. The steamer Gaelic,  from the Orient to-day, brought letters and papers which contain accounts of the ravages of the tidal wave and the winds. Several towns were swept or blown away. Fully 400 Europeans were drowned, and it is estimated that 6,000 natives perished.

14 Sep 1900 – The Texas Hurricane. A GRIM DEATH ROLL. 8,000 LI…

DAVAO CITY mayor Rodrigo Duterte ordered the team he sent to Yolanda-ravaged Leyte to shoot whoever will stop the convoy he sent before reaching the intended destinations.

195 MPH is down to the 140 range, and the 40 foot storm surge is down to 13 feet. The death count was also exaggerated.

But in Tacloban, a city of 220,000 wrapped around a horseshoe-shaped bay, the water overflowed from the bay in all directions. It flooded practically everything in sight with fast-moving torrents as the sea level rose as much as four meters, or 13 feet. Winds exceeding 140 miles an hour tore away the roofs and windows that withstood the walls of water.

Mr. Romualdez said that he had personally lost everything, including his house. But he suggested that reports of damage to his own city might have been exaggerated, saying that only a couple hundred deaths had been confirmed by the authorities. Some officials have estimated that as many as 10,000 people died in Tacloban

The lies served their purpose however. Jeff Masters has created a legend that this was the largest storm in history, and it was mankind’s fault. Once progressives have latched on to a lie, they never let go of it.

Fanatic journalist says that 97% of scientists believe that typhoons never used to happen in the Philippines, and refuses to let an expert speak on the subject. Hertsgaard believes that all scientists support his position, because he refuses to talk to anyone who doesn’t. He has created a consensus in his mind by only talking to people who agree with his worldview.

Here is Dr. Roy Spencer’s bio.

Roy W. Spencer received his Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites. Dr. Spencer’s work with NASA continues as the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite. He has provided congressional testimony several times on the subject of global warming.

Dr. Spencer’s research has been entirely supported by U.S. government agencies: NASA, NOAA, and DOE. He has never been asked by any oil company to perform any kind of service. Not even Exxon-Mobil.

I have not seen any writing from the scientific community which blames the typhoon on global warming.

You can’t make this stuff up. PIOMAS volume divided by UIUC ice area shows that Arctic sea ice was thinner this year on September 30 than it was on the same date last year.

This despite the large increase in thick multi-year ice, and the very cold summer.

James Blalog used to have time lapse videos of glaciers in Greenland at this URL :

They didn’t show any glacial loss, so he got rid of it.

But he left up images like is, trying to scare people about sea level.

About two trillion cubic metres of snow falls on Greenland per year. All of that has to return to the sea to maintain an even sea level. Blalog is the equivalent of an Enron accountant who reports income, but fails to report spending.

The difference is that Blalog reports his faulty accounting all over the world, without fear of retribution.
