Left-wing derangement syndrome?: Warmist scientist/political hack Jennifer Francis suggests that Mother Nature watched this year's U.S. presidential debates, heard no mention of the carbon dioxide hoax, and then "made her own statement" by conjuring up Sandy

Hurricane Sandy’s Unmistakable Message - The Daily Beast

[Jennifer Francis, researcher with the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University] did not fail to register that neither candidate even mentioned climate change during the presidential debates. The candidates apparently see it as the environmental equivalent of gun control, offering no political gain in even discussing it.

“I think Mother Nature took note of that and sort of made her own statement,” Francis says.

One tiny glint of hope that we might learn at least an indirect lesson from Sandy came after Vogelman’s funeral. A family of mourners had been unable to join the funeral procession because they could not gas for their Saab. Another mourner said he was thankful he has a Prius that can get as many as 50 miles a gallon. The Saab owner said maybe his family should think of that when it comes time to get a new car.

Up in Massachusetts, Francis was telling a reporter over the phone that the initiatives that the Romney of 2003 set in motion continue to make her state the most energy efficient in the nation. She does not consider these measures futile because climate change continues to accelerate toward what might best be called global derangement.

“We should try anything we can do to slow it down,” she says.

Meanwhile, Vogelman’s watch continues to mark the dwindling hours before the election. He will not be able to vote, but he will be in the polling booth with you, as will the young woman who was killed with him and the Staten Island toddlers who were swept away by the surge and the off-duty cop who drowned saving his family and all the others who died during the storm. Their lesson is clear even if we fail to heed it.
