In 1955, major hurricane Connie struck Virginia. Since then, the only other hurricane was category 2 Isabel in 1993.

During the 1870s (when CO2 was very safe) Virginia was hit by three hurricanes, including a major hurricane.

The last hurricane to strike New Jersey occurred in 1903.

The massive July meltdown wrecked the Greenland Country Club. I simply can’t play on fairways with such low albedo.

Do most scientists who believe in the greenhouse effect say that we should expect to see more environmental catastrophes in the next 25 to 50 years?

I don’t think of this as a futuristic problem but as a current one. It’s a problem that gets worse by increments. If you talk to Tom Karl, the head of the National Climatic [Data] Center, he’s more comfortable saying that there’s no weather event that’s not affected by the greenhouse effect now. If you look at terrible weather events in recent years, like Hurricane Mitch, you have to ask: At what point does extra rain cross a critical threshold and become a 100-year flood? At what point does a 100-year flood become a 500-year flood? Also, there can be surprises and all of the surprises were bad ones. For example, you’ll see a Level 5 hurricane instead of a Level 4.

There hasn’t been a major hurricane strike in the US for seven years.

An ice cube broke off the Petermann Glacier last month and floated away, which prompted warnings of imminent doom for all humans.
