😆 That defies any rational comment. Who would have thought that during hurricane season we would have hurricanes…
Even more surprising is the sheer number of commenters who lap this stuff up and try to come up with their own silly ideas.
The sea level rose about a foot in the last hundred years, it looks set to rise by a foot in the next hundred years, without any help from us. Hurricane activity was predicted to increase due to global warming but in fact has decreased. The global economy is, at present, entirely dependent upon fossil fuels, without them millions would starve. If green types really were serious about reducing the use of fossil fuels, they would be pressing for more nuclear power stations to be built, but of course they don’t like those either. Windmills and solar panels certainly aren’t going to get the job done.
Meanwhile, it is November and I have started scraping ice off my car in the morning, you know, like I have always had to start doing in November.
The sea level rose about a foot in the last hundred years,
Really? The Victorians must have been building piers a long way from the sea. 🙄
I’m not quite sure what your point is. A 300mm rise in sea levels over a hundred years is nothing. It is significantly less than the difference between high and low tides. The difference that this makes on a horizontal scale is negligible. Why would Victorians have had to build their piers a long way inland for them to be on the coast now?
Bill McKibben is always good for a laugh.
Double twat!!!
Just when you think they could not get more stupid.

The comments section, even in the Guardian, is pretty un-supportive of this nonsense.
Just reading the article about how big oil (or something) is funding the sceptics, does anyone know hoe I can get funding? does anyone know anyone else who has ever received funding?
By contrast, does anyone know any scientists who receive state largesse to promote this nonsense? Oh yes, ALL of ’em.
You mean Sandy was a hurricane?
Bloody hell! I thought she was an x-factor contestant by the amount of tabloid front page space it was taking up.
Not by the time it made landfall, wind speeds had dropped to make it only (a very destructive) tropical storm.
I dunno about you, but I haven’t had any funding as a propagandist. Oi! Where’s me money!
You need to get a job at UEA’s CRU to get the real oil money.
The ‘Independant Panel on Climate Change’ are planning on making their latest report extra extra scary, in the hope that the world’s governments will sign agreements to deal with CO2 emmissions at last. Of course, the most likely outcome is that their hysterical predictions will stray still further from observable reality, making them look even more ridiculous.
