Yes, There's A Link Between Hurricane Irene And Global Warming - Forbes

When Hurricane Irene made landfall in North Carolina, it marked the first time in over 1,000 days – just shy of three years – that a hurricane struck the contiguous United States. This matched the periods from 1980 through 1983 and 1999 through 2002 as the longest periods in recorded history that a hurricane did not strike the United States. So, we have over 100 years of human-caused global warming, yet the three longest stretches of hurricane-free conditions have occurred within the past three decades. This seems a little odd if global warming causes more hurricanes, doesn’t it?

Looking at overall hurricane strikes rather than individual periods of activity/inactivity, the frequency of U.S. hurricane strikes has been in long-term decline for more than a century. Again, this seems a little odd if global warming causes more hurricanes, doesn’t it?

Putting this in language the current president’s political machine can understand, claiming global warming is causing more hurricanes is like claiming global warming is causing more Chicago Cubs World Series championships.

“Almost half of all Kansans don’t really buy into the whole global warming idea,” said Dorothy Barnett of the Climate and Energy Project, a group working to reduce fossil-fuel use in Kansas. “They don’t buy the climate science.” But Barnett’s group is avoiding the climate change controversy by offering cash incentives for communities to reduce energy use.

The Propaganda of ‘Big Oil Subsidies’

Every American manufacturing company gets tax deductions that help it create jobs and strengthen our economy — whether it produces newspapers, furniture, cars or fuel. Eliminating those deductions would increase unemployment and further slow our nation’s desperately needed economic recovery.
...
Newspapers that benefit from the same genre of tax deductions as oil companies nevertheless sometimes join attacking the oil industry, and the jobs and benefits it creates. This is rank hypocrisy.
