"Eden is Broken:" Carribean Leader Calls For Action on Climate Change

Media_Truth said:
I said nothing about Harvey in my statement - just hurricanes in general, and their water-carrying capacity increase. You call this lies? It's all part of the National Climate Assessment of 2014. Here are a list of the people that you are calling liars.

The National Climate Assessment summarizes the impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the future. A team of more than 300 experts guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee produced the report, which was extensively reviewed by the public and experts, including federal agencies and a panel of the National Academy of Sciences.

The rainfall amounts for Hurricane Harvey, were spot on.
They said Houston should prepare for between 40 and 50 inches of rain, before it started raining!
They based this accurate prediction on an long standing rule 100/speed.

Do all those people not have access to a decent search engine ?

Why else would they ignore highly relevent historical data and try to make the claim that strong Hurricanes and or sever rain events represent some type of new phenomena ?

Or make some bull **** claim about man made climate change causing storms to pick up more water ?

You realize Harvey didnt even break the total rainfall record for the City of Houston and its surrounding areas ?

Nope, the 1979 Tropical storm Claudette still holds the record, so historical context is important, but its being ignored to push a political agenda.

Please provide this historical data which proves that you know more than the 300 expert scientists, reviewers, and the National Academy of Science.

New Yorker article
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news...ean-leader-calls-for-action-on-climate-change

Roosevelt Skerrit is the PM of Dominica, which has been disproportionately impacted by climate change.

To deny climate change is to procrastinate while the earth sinks; it is to deny a truth we have just lived. It is to mock thousands of my compatriots who in a few hours without a roof over their heads will watch the night descend on Dominica, in fear of sudden mudslides . . . and what the next hurricane may bring.... My fellow-leaders, there is no more time for conversation. There is little time left for action. While the big countries talk, the small island nations suffer. We need action and we need it now.

Did he lay out any specific actions he would like to see taken? No, of course not.

They only know what their lying pundits tell them.

They are faithful to the cause.

Conspiracy theory? Once again?

Please stop with the silly retorts.

To believe a lie is not a conspiracy.

For like minded individuals to lie the same way is not a conspiracy.

So, is this PROOF?

It shows Harvey doe snot hold the US 1 day rainfall record, recorded in official historical records, so in a way yes!
Harvey was a very bad rainfall even, but only because of how slow the storm moved.
Similar per hour rainfall rates occur during almost every tropical storm hit, they usually just do not hang around for 3 days.
 
Opinion
What Happened to the Armchair Environmentalists and Climate Alarmists When the Hurricanes Hit?

Guest Opinion: Dr. Tim Ball There are two ways to get ahead. Pull yourself up or push other people down. There are few better exponents of the pushdown option than the environmental groups and their supporters. They are, for the most part, urban guerrillas, useless people who do little or nothing except undermine the lives…

There are two ways to get ahead. Pull yourself up or push other people down. There are few better exponents of the pushdown option than the environmental groups and their supporters. They are, for the most part, urban guerrillas, useless people who do little or nothing except undermine the lives of others. They are the green bullies who tell others how to live, yet, hypocritically, live in similar lifestyles. Of course, in the case of Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio, they live energy gobbling lifestyles beyond the imagination of those they condemn. This includes going to the point where they destroy people’s lives, economies, and communities. Trump talks about the loss of businesses across the US but needs to note that much is due to the work of environmentalists and politicians at all levels.
Where was Greenpeace during the recent hurricanes? I went to the American Greenpeaceweb page to find out what they were doing to assist people afflicted by the recent hurricanes. Their US web site says nothing about help. I thought a tag that read “What We’re Doing” would list places where you could donate, plans to send supplies and other rescue efforts. All it did was list six things such as “Fighting Global Warming” and “Saving the Arctic.” The only request about paying was a headline under a picture of an ExxonMobil storage tank that read, “Make fossil fuel companies pay for hurricane destruction.” This implies they believe that human CO2 mostly created by burning fossil fuels is responsible for the hurricanes. They don’t present any evidence to support this claim. Of course, they can’t present evidence because it doesn’t exist.
The web site expects you to send them money for doing nothing to help the people affected. Instead, they point fingers from their urban armchairs at the energy companies that provided the fuel for the people to head down the highway away from danger. While real, employed, hard-working people were doing remarkable things to save lives and help others, Greenpeace asked for money to undermine their economy and further destroy their lives. The problem is Greenpeace is not alone. Most environmental groups, do little more than collect amounts of money, so much of which goes to further destroy jobs and the economy.
They are aided and abetted by political leaders at all levels and of all stripes. These politicians fulfill H.L. Mencken’s observation that,
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins all of them imaginary. . . . .
