Some people think that hurricanes didn't exist before Global Warming...they should have been around for Billion Dollar Betsy(9th Ward flooded then, too).

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
In the first four years I was in my current home, 1993-1997, we had eight 50 year rains, two 100 year rains and one 500 year rain.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

A few facts: the Gulf of Mexico is 4 degrees warmer than normal this year, and it has been getting worse.

Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico rise due to natural summer warming. These warm surface temperatures are a contributing factor to favorable conditions that can lead to the formation of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and off the East Coast of the United States. / .........This animation shows the progression of warm waters slowly filling the Gulf of Mexico (shown in yellow, orange, and red). This natural annual warming contributes to the possible formation of hurricanes in the Gulf. SST data shown here ranges from January 1 to the present.[/b]

Mann also pointed out that global warming has already caused sea levels to rise over half a foot, which made the flooding in Houston significantly worse than it would have been otherwise.

First of all, the accelerated warming that was forecast to produce catastrophic sea level rise flooding Bangladesh and Pacific islands causing hundreds of millions of refugees to flee coastal regions hasn’t occurred. This isn’t to say either that the planet hasn’t been warming, or that sea levels haven’t risen. Of course they have, although these are hardly new developments. I can also make an argument that rising sea levels and warming periods may be somewhat disconnected matters.

Let’s understand that the world’s mean temperatures have been rising at a pretty constant rate of about one degree Fahrenheit (0.6oC) over the past 100 years, and is likely to continue , although with both warmer and cooler fluctuations, for many hundreds of years into the future. Over each of the past several centuries, including the last one, sea levels rose by about 7 inches (18 cm).

Accordingly, neither the overall warming trend or sea level rise began with the fossil-burning Industrial Revolution… nor have they changed in any detectable way due to human influences. And we can’t even really know that the second follows the first. Sea levels rose during the Little Ice Age from about 1400-1859 AD… a period which was considerably colder than now.

Why is warmer always worse?

I love warmer.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

The problem isn't that the "stats lied," it's that those terms are pretty big misnomers, and people don't know what they mean.

Say you flipped a coin and called the result a "50-percent heads event." If you get tails five times, you're not going to freak out and call the "50-percent" number completely bunk, "fake science," etc., because you understand that getting tails five times is kind of a fluke, but not at all out of the realm of possibility. It wouldn't blow your mind to get that result, either.

Same with storm events. "A 100-year storm event" means that in terms of probability, a storm like that comes around once every 100 years or so. But just like the coin, it's not all that mind-blowing to get a couple of those in the course of a decade.
I cite irreconcilable differences.
