Hurricanes are no stronger and no more common than they have ever been. Katrina and IKE do not even make the top ten list. All the increase in damage is due mainly to the fact that stupid people are deliberately choosing to built homes in harms way...and the government keeps bailing them out. I suggest a new rule. YOU BUILD IN A FLOOD PLAIN? YOU BUILD ON A BARRIER ISLAND? YOU REFUSE TO EVACUATE? YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, YOU ASSUME ALL THE RISK NOT THE TAX PAYER.

Rubicon01

The "green industry" environmental movement has seized control of enough politicians, that America will be saddled with some sort of draconian "energy legislation in the future. Government controls will be enacted. And green industry proponents, who are the new "oil industry" profiteers, will make hundreds of millions, if not billions, from such forced to do business with them legislation. Once cap & trade is passed, all industries will be "required by force of law" to do business with a green industry cartel of opportunistic & greedy profiteers looking to bilk anyone & everyone, under the guise of "saving the planet" as Nancy Pelosi describes their actions. Yet none of them have yet proved in open hearings, court, or scientific peer review, that CO2 accumulation levels drive temperatures. Al Gore will not face discussion or prove his alarmist predictions because he knows he cannot prove what he has told people or by use of political Babel, scared many into believing. He knows he would be made a fool of since he has no scientific evidence to support his erroneous wails of doom & gloom! In the end, they know CO2 levels "RESPOND" to temperature fluctuations, & that means, none of their alarmist predictions are true! In short, they lie! If CO2 levels are driven by or follow temperature fluctuations, as they do, then just about all of their entire climate change theory is false & that makes all their draconian plans for world governments & especially organizations like the UN, to control humanity through socialist legislation & oppressive government controls, lies! They know it, but they focus only on forcing through laws, because once they do, they can ignore the truth & concentrate on propagandizing their lies! Or as some of them have speculated, prosecuting deniers in Nuremberg style trials. Typical socialist oppression... punish & tyrannize any opposition, silence them, & make an example of them, to silence any who may decide to speak out in support of opposition to such idiotic plans that only serve an elite while common men suffer the consequences. But as some of our politicians think today (they also say so in so many words or in the company of like minded socialists & while average people are not or cannot hear what they say), they must lead the un & undereducated, the rubes who believe in religion or bitterly cling to their guns. Why? Well because their betters (or so the elite of the liberal leftist establishment think), know what is best for "common man." The environmental movement is using or being used, just as the leftist socialists are being used or using, each other for the purposes of creating a world "they think" is best for the planet, animals, & oh yes, mankind too.
