Obama said he'd stop the rise of the oceans, Joe Biden is saying that he'll stop the California wild fires; both claims are false

 When Obama won the Democrat nomination he said that history would see that that moment marked the end of the rising of the oceans.  He was, of course, wrong.

Joe Biden trying to deflect from his intent to destroy the suburbs by giving control of all local zoning to DC bureaucrats by pretending that Trump is God and hence responsible for natural disasters.

Joe said:

"Donald Trump's climate denial may not have caused these fires and record floods and record hurricanes, but if he gets a second term, these hellish events will continue to become more common, more devastating and more deadly," Biden warned.

"Wildfires are burning the suburbs in the West! Floods are wiping out suburban neighborhoods in the Midwest! Hurricanes are imperiling suburban life along our coast!"

The first obvious thing to note is that Biden is simultaneously saying that Trump isn't responsible for the natural disasters but he will be if we don't elect Joe.

Second thing to note is that hurricane frequency and severity haven't gone up recently; in fact we've had fewer and less sever hurricanes since Climate Change supposedly started:


We had more hurricanes in the 70s, 80s, and 90s than we do now.  Yet Climate Change is supposedly getting worse day by day.  Hence Climate change isn't responsible for hurricane damage in the US; Joe's either totally misinformed or lying, odds are he's misinformed.

Third the wildfires in the west are due to arson and to ecofreaks controlling forest management.  Historically we stopped forest fires quickly but we also performed controlled burns to keep the total flammable mass down so that fires couldn't suddenly grow too quickly to contain.

But starting with Bill Clinton Democrats changed that. They still stopped fires quickly but the dramatically reduced controlled burns assuring that over time the West Coast would face the disaster it's facing now.

Think about it; even if you believe the climate alarmists the temperature has only gone up by a fraction of a degree in the last 3 years but the massive fires in the West only really started about 3 years ago.

It can't be Climate Change reducing rainfall because it never rains in the Summer in California so it's always fire season by this time of year; that's been true for decades. Yet in the past we didn't have these huge fires.

And it's unclear how flooding in the Midwest is due to climate change.

More importantly we know that under Trump the US's CO2 emissions have gone down so what more could Trump do? 

We know that Biden has endorsed the Green New Deal that plans to eliminate cows and airplane travel but given that China is producing more CO2 than the US and the EU combined each year and given that China is dramatically increasing it's CO2 production nothing Joe will do will make a difference.

But what we do know, because Biden has told us, is that he plans to resume Obama's effort to densify the suburbs turning them into crowded and polluted warrens.  He wants to get rid of single family dwelling, yards, and freedom and force us all into apartments.

Now that's a real threat to the suburbs that can be prevented if we reelect Trump.

excuse me if I don't trust a CATO institute chart. The chart indicates there was an insane number of storms in 1972 but I can't match that to other data sources. Looking at NOAA's data shows much more reasonable data. And seems to indicate an increase in activity in recent years.

And obviously there's plenty of papers indicating a link between tropical storms and climate change.

Please excuse me for not believing a radical leftists like you. :)

Unknown doesn't know much about science. His source is for Atlantic Basin Storm counts while the CATO plot isn't so chauvinistic and nationalist so it shows storms around the world which of course is the measure of interest since it's called Global Warming not Atlantic Basin warming. :)

I can't match it even including storms in other tropical regions. further one has to explain why the Atlantic hurricane season has gotten more intense. is it just coincidence? there are reasons why global warming might make some storms more intense but not others.
