    Research suggests something might happen in the future is not the same as something happening today, although a lot of folks on this forum are unable to tell the difference. (FWIW solar panels don’t do so well in a hailstorm)

    Did Florida experience a 19.2% increase in storm damage last year? Yup, didn’t think so.
  3. brenthutch
    The cost of insurance is up everywhere because of the inflation caused by the Democrats. Actual storm damage has not increased, the cost of storm damage has.
  4. brenthutch
    Where is the mitigation?
  5. brenthutch
    Try running the numbers for the cost benefit analysis of climate policy. I’ll pop some popcorn while I wait.

    Then why are they racking up record credit card debt?
  7. brenthutch
    Yes and they even gave a 5% chance of this year being below average. I suppose you could say that they did predict a below average year. A prediction that a coin flip would either land on heads off tails is a prediction of little value and certainly not one on which to base policy.

    Housing and food have risen much more than 20% but that only effects those who eat or need shelter.

    NOAA National Weather Service forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center predict above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year. NOAA’s outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which spans from June 1 to November 30, predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season, a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season. NOAA is forecasting a range of 17 to 25 total named storms Michael Mann and colleagues predict a record-breaking 33 named storms for the 2024 North Atlantic hurricane season. It is the highest count ever projected. If they can’t predict six months out one has to be monumentally stupid to believe that they can predict anything decades from now.

    The inflation caused by Bidenomics has devastated lower and moderate income families and crushed the dream of home ownership for millions.

    The Trump tax cuts stimulate MY economy.

    I meant to say, the growth of GDP. When the debt growth outpaces economic growth, it is unsustainable.
  14. brenthutch
    Not when our deficit exceeds our GDP. At least that is what the head of the Fed said.

    We could have done little with regard to the supply chain issues, we could have avoided the trillion dollar money party, passed solely by Democrats over bipartisan opposition. So yeah, the Ds own inflation.

    I agree 100% that we NEVER should have gone all in on Afghanistan and 110% on Iraq. That said once we broke it we owned it and the Afghanistan conflict had settled in to a low intensity conflict with minimal casualties. As long as we had the backs of the ANA things were in a stalemate. Women could work and be educated and things were fairly stable. It could have been managed like Korea.
  17. brenthutch
    What part of “As far as inflation is concerned the I agree that supply chain disruptions were a contributing factor.” did you not comprehend? Not to mention our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan revealed weakness in the Biden administration and emboldened Putin.
  18. brenthutch
    I only relay what the NOAA reports. That said the NOAA reports that this is the hottest year ever (at least in the geologically insignificant 150 years), blowing right past the “danger level” and guess what? There was no KABOOM.

    Here is your evidence of climate change on US food production https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2020/03/05/look-agricultural-productivity-growth-united-states-1948-2017 Funny how it keeps getting better, despite the alarmists’ predictions of disaster. Turns out more CO2 and a longer growing season = more food. Who would have thought ?
  20. brenthutch
    With regard to climate change I will refer you to my post on the IPCC’s findings. As far as inflation is concerned the I agree that supply chain disruptions were a contributing factor. As you know inflation is a result from a supply/ demand imbalance. We couldn’t really do anything about the supply side of the equation but we certainly could have mitigated the demand side by not throwing a two trillion dollar money party.

    Chapter 12 of the UN IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, Page 90 of Chapter 12 Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment. It essentially charts the UN IPCC’s assessment of the odds that each type of extreme weather is due to climate change…there is no evidence of any increase or decrease, globally or by region, in the frequency, severity or extent of frost, mean precipitation, river floods, heavy precipitation and pluvial floods, landslides, aridity, hydrological drought, agricultural or ecological drought, fire weather or wildfires, mean wind speed, severe wind storms or tornados, tropical cyclones or hurricanes, sand and dust storms, snow glacial or ice sheets, heavy snowfall and ice storms, hail, snow avalanche, relative sea levels, coastal floods, coastal erosion, marine heatwaves, ocean acidity, air pollution weather or radiation at earth’s surface. Isn’t it about time we stop labeling folks “climate change deniers” and instead refer to them as reality observers?

    No Wendy that is a lie. When it comes to weather events, I say they are within historical norms. The inflation the Democrats have caused, is well outside historical norms. 2021: 7%, 2022: 6.5% 2023: 3.4% (A special thanks to SkyDekker for providing the proof of what constitutes historical norms) It reflects poorly on you to say something that is so blatantly false.
  23. brenthutch
    Let’s take a look at inflation from 2020 to 2024
  24. brenthutch
    Only inflation is well above normal, weather events are within historical ranges.

    Why did a moderator feel it was necessary to corrupt the title of my post, when it is factually correct?
