Here are some links to see what others are saying:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/10/30/reality-check-who-believes-hurricane-sandy-isis-not-caused-by-global-warming/Also a quote from an interview with Joe Bastardi (a chief weather forecaster at Weatherbell Analytics):
BASTARDI: My father used to call it the shortcut storm. He said he was confident he would see it before his days were numbered, and he's finally seen it, okay? That's the first thing. Second thing is, get used to it along the East Coast. Maybe not this kind of track, but we are in a perilous time because the Atlantic's warm; the Pacific's cold. It's the 1950s all over again. It has nothing to do with global warming, it has everything to do with nature, and then we'll go back to where we were in the sixties and seventies.
...
Do you realize we had ten major hurricanes run the Eastern Seaboard between '54 and 1960? Six of them in '54 and '55 -- six hurricane hits -- from North Carolina northward. So, you know, the old Bachman-Turner song, You ain't seen nothing yet? If anything, I was too quick on the gun several years ago when I said we were gonna see this type of thing.
He says some similar things on his blog:
http://patriotpost.us/opinion/15187And finally a site where 31,487 American Scientists have questioned the truth of man-made Global Warming:
http://www.petitionproject.org/index.phpWhich leads me to the subject of my comment. To say that the science is settled immediately proves that the person making the statement is not following the Scientific Method :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_methodAnd name-calling is most certainly NOT a part of true science. It may be acceptable to call people skeptics (which is what a true scientist ALWAYS is), but when we start using the lingo of "deniers" then we are entering the 'Faith" - not - the "Science" realm. The truth is that the science on what is actually driving Global Warming is far from settled when there are other theories out there (Sun activity for just one example).
The truth should be determined by a calm and logical examination of ALL of the facts - NOT - by who can simply scream/mock the loudest or secure the most grant money.
Lastly, I find it intellectually dishonest to equate someone who questions the "Man-Made" theory as a person that questions that Global Warming has been
happening. Although I have worked in software development for many years, my
scholastic background was as a geoscientist - so I would dare say that I believe that
this planet has seen many episodes of Global Warming / Global Cooling throughout
it's existence and don't have a problem with believing that we may be going through
another warming episode currently.
So do not falsely paint me as a person that 'denies" the scientific FACT that your
"homework is missing", just because I question your THEORY that "the dog ate it"!
