Lewandowski loves Sandy

Lugubrious Australian-based American psychologist Stephan Lewandowski keeps making attempts to brand climate skeptics as psychologically deficient. And in his latest effusion he thinks big storm Sandy helps make his case. Everything he says however is vitiated by his failure to get his basic climate facts right.

If warming does not exist, it cannot explain ANYTHING, let alone Sandy. What a laugh! Lewandowski is a strange psychological specimen himself
