Climate Change Alarmists Can't Seem To Buy A Major Hurricane - Forbes
The U.S. just can’t seem to buy a major hurricane. It’s been 2,535 days since the last Category 3 storm, Wilma in 2005, hit the beach. That’s the longest period—by far—in the record that goes back to 1900.

Consequently, the global warming hype machine is being reduced to running on Category 1 fumes. Hence last August’s Irene (which was barely a hurricane) and the recent Isaac (with a much more respectable wind field) became the sorry excuses used to hector the public into demanding massive energy taxes.

It’s time to stop conflating the latest Category 1 swirl with climate change. And, yes, it is also high time for a very powerful storm to finally land on some unfortunate beachfront community, which will no doubt portend the end of the world as we know it.
