Global warming debate aside,
Global warming via hydrocarbon combustion is not subject to debate, it
is well within the 'cone of probability'.
about the only way to refute that paragraph is
call him a name because it's exactly right on. I've lived on the barrier
island in Brevard County all my life (45 years) and guess what - there are a
"****-load" more people living here. Comparing storms across decades by
comparing damage *estimates* is absurd.
So, you claim that quantification via estimation, i.e. science by
numbers, is absurd.
Yet Another Idjit.
The issue is the original claim, this Atlantic hurricane season is
'relatively mild'. Uh huh.
Sure, idjit. For guidance only, errors may be large.
