President Should Declare Global Warming Victory and Go Home

The President’s assertion about more powerful storms is particularly fictitious. NOAA reports a long-term decline in strong tornadoes striking the United States. The National Hurricane Center reports that the past 40 years have seen the fewest major hurricane strikes since at least the mid-1800s. Even Hurricane Sandy reminds us that the U.S. Northeast has experienced only one major hurricane strike since 1960, but experienced six major hurricane strikes during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, when global temperatures were cooler.

When it comes to President Obama’s call to take action “to respond to the threat of climate change” we should declare victory right now and allow Obama to yet again take political credit.
