The Katrina/Bush disaster has brought the global warming loons out in droves. I don't remember the same reaction to the Andrew/Clinton disaster. We know that Bush, by failing to sign Kyoto, caused Katrina. Did Clinton, by not signing Kyoto during his eight years, cause Andrew? I've forgotten who caused Camille, but no matter, you get the point.
Back to the global warming/global cooling lunacy. On April 28, 1975, Newsweek printed an article submitted by the "Global Climate Coalition" titled, "The Cooling World" which warned us of the coming disastrous effects of global cooling. The article warned us of "ominous" changes in the earth's weather patterns, and went on to list the coming cataclysmic events (within 10 years) that would befall us all, including a worldwide famine due to reduced agricultural production for a century. They spoke of the "mounting mountain of evidence" of global cooling.
Interestingly, as proof, they told us of, "the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded," during the previous April. So according to the "global whatever" lunatics, hurricanes are caused by global warming and tornadoes are caused by global cooling.
Hey, I'm convinced, though I must have slept through the great famine of 1985.
