The climate has always been changing.
Since when does one medium sized hurricane end the debate on climate change. Just because it hit New York?
If we really did have global warming then the temperature difference between the poles and the equator would be getting smaller. Thus the driving force for greater weather events would be shrinking. Claiming that the hurricane is an indicator of global warming / climate change (unless that means that the climate is getting colder at the poles:) is counter to your own argument.
The climate on earth has been changing since the first time it coalesced from a cloud of dust. Please tell me when the climate of the earth was at its optimum so that you can differentiate it from now. After the last ice age? How about after the ice age before that? Maybe the ice age before that one?
The current politically left emphasis on climate change has been nothing more than a club to beat up western civilization in general and the United States in particular. At the same time it is being used as a club to keep developing nations from using their natural resources and keep them dirt poor.
As for the "scientific community" they, especially the IPCC, have some real credability problems as it has been revealled that they have been manipulating and cherry picking their data for years.
I deny your anthropormophic climate change becuase there are too many other studies that link climate change directly to solar cycles with a much higher degree of accuracy. Which do you think has more influence on climate; the sun or human activity? I will pick the sun.
