1908 Hurricane Hit The US In May | Real Science
According to Hansen, the previous year was the coldest on record, and 1908 was one of the coldest.

...We are now into August of NOAA’s hottest year, and no hurricane strikes.
ICYMI: Emanuel changes tack on Solyndra questions
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Friday refused to comment on a newly released e-mail which again suggests he was involved in the White House decision to promote a $535 million federal loan to Solyndra LLC, a California solar energy equipment company that subsequently went bankrupt.
Hansen Breaks the Taboo | Planet3.0
Hansen breaks the single-event attribution taboo in a Washington Post op-ed:
Endless Winter for Alaska's Mountains This Year
Adding the record-shattering snowfall into the mix, it's possible the melt of last year's snow could overlap with new snow falls that can occur as early as September. When this happens, glaciers can form by compressing the old snow into ice, although it would take several years of cold springs like this year's for that cycle to occur, McClure said.

While residents and tourists are taking advantage of the snowcapped scenery, it could create problems for wildlife because the ground hasn't greened, making it difficult for some animals to find food, McClure said.

I got into a bit of a debate on the Planet 3.0 website. Some of the debate is still there as I write this. It will likely be deleted though.
The blogmeister started treating me as a typical moron until I asked how Hansen called the current events as being clearly caused by global warming because it had never happened before. When it did in the 1930s.
Then he showed me a chart that reflected the anomalies since 1971 - which is of course, fallacious.
He deleted my subsequent response that pointed this out. So I sent him this message:
I note you deleted my final comment in which I pointed out that Hansen attributed Global Warming as the cause of the droughts and that data is gamed – only data that fits the scam is ever presented – even a childlike figure like me can see that fallacy. And when the data don’t fit, you omit or worse, fudge..
You presented a graph that showed the recent weather events as anomalies since 1971 – this is of course ridiculous, as 1971 was a very cold year. If you had gone back to 1901, then the 1930s heat – which was before CO2 growth would have messed up your presentation. If you had gone back to 1001 you would have reflected the medieval warming period, which would again, have disproved the point you make your living with.
Like Hansen and Mann, you guys are unwilling to defend your positions, because they are indefensible.
There is a game afoot and the game is gamed.
