Can I see some correlation please. Ah right, that settles it.

    Shameless.

    Send an aircraft carrier with chinooks instead. THAT helps.

    Global warming is the reason we have had stronger storms of recent years with somewhat more frequency than before. While the warming has plateaued over the last 10-15 years, it is still a degree or two higher than a century or so back. Makes for warmer water and bigger storms.

    I am not so sure about the anthropogenic character of the current warm cycle, nor am I sure that drastically curtailing CO2 emission is the proper response even if we take that anthropogenic character as a fact, but trying to suggest that we aren't in a warmer period is not the direction to go.

    0.2 degrees celcius in a hundred years. Of course there is climate change, there always have been. To try to push agendas with this isn't just a little bit tasteless, it's so incridibly shameless that I wonder how they can sleep.

    Oh the stingie Dutch, almost 4 million euro has been donated by now six hours after the fund opened, all private donations. That is already a million more than the entire EU had to spare. Kudo's. Have yet to wire mine, can't at the moment but will.

    On the flipside, they would argue that they want to make the world a better place, with not having an increase in the number and intensity of storms and further tragedies.They would most likely argue: "How do you sleep at night, working to continue this blight to cause more suffering in the future?".

    So I am just saying, the way you say about how you have no trouble, they don't have any trouble either.

    That would be incredibly easy, as the blight simply doesn't exists. It's just the way of things, nothing more. Climate just has the habbit of changing, you can count these changes back to millenia if you want to and lash out at Rolex for lacking the clockwork accuracy earth has.
