Very interesting article by Jeff Masters and Bob Henson, founders of The Weather Underground before it was trashed by the Weather Channel and then IBM.

What does that have to do with anything?

Now a days there's always this continual attempt to link the weather to the climate agenda. Some commentators appear to be disappointed when weather events don't rise to the expectation of being the biggest and worst in recent history to justify the climate agenda.

What’s the “climate agenda”? Accepting that humanity has changed and is changing the climate?

That remains the question.

This is all a moot point. Even if anthropogenic climate change is real (which I'm obviously dubious about), it's meaningless unless you get the entire industrialized planet to jump onboard. Good luck with that. So, our lovely lawmakers don't give a shit, and will happily spend trillions of your tax dollars on garbage science just to put everyone in bread lines while they line their pockets. Prove me wrong.

How so? We humans are dominating the forcing of the climate system.

What evidence would you find convincing?

"Trillions"? You exaggerate. What's the "garbage science"? Please explain so I can understand where you've gone wrong.

Your insolence knows no bounds. Let's get this straight once and for all. I don't believe your garbage science just like you don't believe mine. Take your self-righteous attitude, your agenda, and shove it.

Am I supposed to quake before your angry old man act?
What evidence is lacking for anthropogenic climate change in your view?

You mean like saying where is your backing evidence? Like others all you have is your opinion, nothing more, nothing less, when you understand that you can then get off your soap box.

Why not put the hostilities on hold and understand there is much death and destruction that has occurred from this storm. Agree to disagree and move on.

Are there weather weapons, weather manipulation tools in existence is a question I'd like to have an answer to. If so, are they being used for good or evil? Why doesn't it snow like it used to? Why are hurricanes larger, and hold more rain? Just to say it's carbon that is the cause or human life going on in an extreme way is not a complete answer if any answer at all.

I see that the usual subscribers to the 'there is no human-caused climate change' hypothesis have loosed the vitriol again.
