Was this flood caused by climate change? There were massive floods in Houston long before there was even a city: the town was built on a swamp. The difference now is that there is more concrete and also more places to flood. 200 years ago, where massive floods caused by climate change? Possibly. But was human-created CO2 to blame? Not at all. Attributing everything to climate change is getting silly. It’s not different that highly religious people attributing everything that happens as “God’s will.” If there are no big storms for 10 years it’s because of climate change. If there are lots of big storms, that too is climate change. Climate change acolytes seem to ignore the effects of El Niño and other cyclical changes that have far more impact that temperature rising a degree. Climate change risk has been overestimated — at least for the near term. The catastophists promised fully melted ice caps by 2016. Islands were supposed to be underwater by now, but what has the actual sea level rise been? Climate change people aren’t actually concerned about climate — they don’t like the means of production being controlled by old-guard capitalist oil interests. It’s no coincidence that climate change people are almost universally leftists — redistributing the means of production is their obsession; climate change hysteria is just a means to achieve that end. Do people on the right actually want weather catastrophes? We live on this planet too you know. Is every single one of us who are skeptical of human caused warming actually stupid? Are we all secretly suicidal? Or is it possible that skepticism is based on a long history of pop-science actually having unintended consequences? Eugenics, for example, was widely supported by the most progressive minds in early 20th century history. It was “settled science” and we were warned of catastrophic human consequences if we denied the benefits of eugenics. Read newspapers and writings from that era. Climate change skeptics aren’t stupid; we just choose to consider unintended consequences when it comes to making policy for the planet. We are also skeptical of organizations with an awowed goal of Marxist redistribution who, as an aside are magically concerned about climate change which, the solution of which requires destruction of capitalism. The coincidence of global warming hysteria beginning right as the Soviet Union began to collapse is too vivid to ignore. It’s almost as if the failures of communism were attributed to people not having an Eastasia (or was it Eurasia) as a common enemy. Climate calamity is a convinient common enemy to distract is from the goings on at the Ministry of Love.
