Climate change had nothing to do with this worst storm ever.?

The media is silent. Every one of them. No mention of climate change or fossil fuels as to the cause? It's mind boggling. The media is Un American . None of them promote the public good.
Some of the individual shows may bring it up but nothing on the daily coverage. Nothing?

I read Realclimate.org every day. The people that get paid to do climate science* contend no individual event can be ascribed to anthropogenic climate change.

What is equally well modeled is that weather variations which were once, say, a once-in-a-hundred-years event, are becoming far more frequent.

If you haven't read the latest IPCC report, you should. It's rather damning; especially coming from a scientific body that is, like most all things science related, circumspect in their pronouncements.

*I'm an applied scientist - an engineer; but I try and stay abreast of current developments in things other than those concerning circuits and semiconductors.

8" of sea level rise in the past century adds a foot or two of storm surge.

Alex Jones said so, so it MUST be true! Notice that this storm comes just a few days after the globalist U.N.’s dire predictions about “climate change.” The hatred and lawlessness of the angry mob of anti-American Democrats and liberals knows no bounds.

It’s a virtual victory party down there, but FAKE NEWS won’t report the truth (according to me, DJT, President-for-life).

As he has been doing for at least the past year, including when Florence was about to hit. So, no they are not all silent.

Cowardly to refuse to speak the truth, especially so when you are paid to speak the truth.
