I was in Vermont when Irene hit and that was nothing short of devastating for many towns...ALL THE FUCK WAY UP THERE IN VERMONT. I couldn't believe it. For that reason I think it's a very fair warning to to call for the evacuations that they did. The combination of storm surge and high tide is a coincidence of just a few hours and could be the difference between ground floor and 2nd floor. Think about it, a CAT 5 at the mouth of the Gulf and all it needs is a little warm water to keep its power. The difference was less than a few hundred miles and about 18 hours. That's nowhere near enough time and room to give the OK that everyone will be safe. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

He continues, ***“Physicists and mathematicians who couldn’t make it in their own fields, like James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt (who actually told me one reason he became a climate scientist was because he couldn’t make it in his degree field of mathematics). People who just wanted instant success as fake heroes or showmen rather than doing years of hard slow obscure real science.” NASA GISS is a monument to bad science that truly should be torn down.” Ah, the skeptic du jour. I wonder where his money comes from? Is he a full denier or one of those picks an arbitrary point and presses it as the example that defines the whole case. Seems like the approach above is that if you can't disprove it then vote to defund it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Sound like skydivers. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

They most certainly are. In the meantime the US is like someone's grandparents doing a bad job figuring out Skype. Edit: I'm waiting for them to swoop in on North Korea as a protectorate creating a buffer against Vladilovstock and further access to warm water ports, something they've sought for centuries. If there's any lesson they took from the Cold War it's that it's very expensive to rule the land in which you hold your military. While they made pushes to gain physical geography the US and its allies simply let each other develop air bases and naval bases in each other's countries.

A yes, the peace and tranquility of vacuuming always helped me to become centered.....until there were people having fun....WHAT THE FUCK!!!??? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Also, don't land on your butt. Ask your instructors about a PLF and why the fuck they didn't show it to you before (wink emoji). "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Some people do the damnedest shit with their time when they retire. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Overall I don't think it helps to shout "climate change" in the middle of a natural disaster, plenty of time for that afterwards. There's no argument against the fact that air temperatures in the Sahara Desert, Water Temps across the Atlantic and water levels on the coasts have a profound effect on the severity and frequency of hurricanes but for now let's focus on the relief efforts.

I won't click on anything having to do with that wind-bag. He has nothing to do with the direction this country needs to take and should be ignored like the the political profiteer he is. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

It's unfortunate that they're even relevant to the new cycle. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I have no idea what she said but, knowing the media, and your ability to spin, I doubt it is anything close to what you are implying. Just sayin.... Here's the comments: http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/white-house-chief-of-staff-john-kelly-blisters-ann-coulter-for-joking-about-hurricane-irma-victims-dying/ More coverage of idiots making political or religious claims about weather: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/did-lesbians-cause-hurricanes-irma-and-harvey-god-knows/2017/09/08/638efbca-94bf-11e7-89fa-bb822a46da5b_story.html?utm_term=.f2d8ebe95858 To include Coulter's comment of: “I don’t believe Hurricane Harvey is God’s punishment for Houston electing a lesbian mayor,” she tweeted. “But that is more credible than ‘climate change.’ ” "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

You're missing a big aspect of this conversation with that comment. The only response to events like this is to quash them and end them. We know for a fact that these people are unfaltering supporters of the President and at every turn he fails or quibbles in his denouncements. This country is made of better stuff and that attitude has no business being in the office of the President. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Poor guy. Probably didn't you can't just walk up and pepper spray people. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

1) Trump didn't do it 2) OK Trump did it but it's no big deal 3) Clinton did it first A perfect RushMC post. You are as lost as the rest of them.... Ah yes, and you're the one person who has all the answers. It's like the entire town left because of a coming flood and you're staying because you don't believe the proof.

Speaking of Tomi... http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/genealogist-tomi-lahrens-immigrant-ancestor-was-indicted-for-forging-us-citizenship-papers/ Awesome. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I don't know, go jump on the David Wolfe facebook page and I'm sure you'll get all the action you're looking for. Report back with your findings. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

This date went to shit: http://www.scarymommy.com/go-fund-me-first-date-poop-story/?utm_source=FB "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Time for the book tours. He's a very weak unscripted in front of cameras so I can't imagine he's getting picked up as a talking head. I have no idea why they've dragged him out to discuss foreign military policy before, he's a Sheriff with a vague Navy Post-grad degree with no experience in the field.

Hey, whatever keeps Casper Matress and Goldline paying for his airtime... I listen to his show on my late drive home, he plays to the anti-intellectualism crowd and this doesn't surprise me at all. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

(Rolls eyes) Amateurs. Any trained professional can clearly see how those photos were faked using a desaturation effect. You ain't foolin' me, I know what CG looks like. Hence the colorization efforts to rewrite history. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Was that Tomi Lahren, yeah she said she's going to keep harping on it as long as snowflakes keep talking about Russia, along with something about Benghazi which even he co-hosts looked confused about. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yup, it is good that these people feel comfortable enough to expose themselves so we know that the work isn't over. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Actually, then Senator Obama WAS out there: "Associated Press Former President Clinton, left, Sen. Barack Obama, center, and former President George H.W. Bush meet Monday with Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the Reliant Center adjacent to the Astrodome in Houston." http://lubbockonline.com/stories/090605/sta_090605082.shtml#.Wach4ciGO01 "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

On the front end Russia wins by discrediting Hillary, on the back end they can discredit the sitting POTUS by leaking more. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

And that shortsightedness is what seems to predominate social media. "OMG, unprecedented flooding! 40 inches of rain! We've never seen anything like this! This is what AGW looks like! There is an alarmist twitter-storm of anger directed at nonconformists, as if this hurricane is their fault. And by nonconformist, I don't just mean your typical denier. These people will shout down even the most reasonable climate change proponents that dare to provide even the slightest bit of perspective on the issue. If you're not in lock-step with their propaganda, then forget about any kind of "rational" discourse. It's like, if you don't believe with all of your heart, and confess with your mouth that Harvey is the embodiment of the Lord God AGW here on earth, then you might as well be a conservative Trump loving neo-nazi type I denier. If people were honest, they'd limit their AGW arguments to contributing factors based on the merit of that which is actually quantifiable in this particular instance, such as slightly larger storm surges due to higher sea levels, and the extra 5 mph of wind upon landfall due to warmer gulf temperatures, but those aren't alarming enough! Why should they let a good hurricane go to waste? It might be another 15 years before we see something like this again! So, therefore, they are going to take every drop of rain, every flooded house, every destroyed building, every death, and use it to shove their political agenda as far up our collective ass as they possibly can. It's because newspapers want to simplify their headline, "Global Warming Causes Mass Devastation!" It's too difficult to explain that it's more like if you're pouring a bucket of water on something but that bucket of water is a little fuller or it's poured from a little higher. The bucket of water was always being poured and we always has our defenses (flood control) set for that quantity without much margin. Water overflowing a levy system is almost indistinguishable from that levy not being there at all and the devastation will be more pronounced. That simplification in the article heading turns it into a very oversimplified argument that is indefensible from any viewpoint. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
