Do you think the increasing size and frequency of hurricanes is linked to global warming? Air America listeners say YES! And so does Margo, whose readers presumably also blame global warming for their lack of Google sophistication.
Can anybody calculate how many black helicopters it would take to create enough downdraft to cause a hurricane of the magnitude of Katrina?
Air America with the likes of Al Franken are currently part of the biggest MSM cover up of all time. Airheads America stole $875K from a poor and disadvantaged childrens charity and nothing in the MSM about it.

#5 CkHart: I should perhaps clarify that I believe Margo is to revolution as Cindy Sheehan is to quiet contemplation. She is to leadership as Phat Phil is to washboard abs.
Margo and the Internet (or the English language, for that matter) are not kindred spirits.
To suggest she has caused even a ripple would be like suggesting Chris Sheil holds his treasure tightly. Oh, hang on…
OT, but SBS news has just been reporting the Forbes CEO meeting in Sydney. Apparently there are about 1,000 protestors in the area, banging drums and doing those pathetic middle-class-white-kid “tribal” dances. The SBS journo could barely conceal her disappointment that the protest “hasn’t yet turned violent”, and contented herself with pointing out at length that all the security measures being taken were being provided “free of charge”, and “at the taxpayers’ expense” to the evil CEOs. Does she stop to ponder that these expensive measures are only required because of these asshat moonbats? Maybe they should be billed. And so nice of SBS to finally take an interest in the poor suffering taxpayer.

It’s just part of a cycle…
The multi-decadal signal that has contributed to increased Atlantic activity since 1995 has also produced a marked decrease in hurricanes in the eastern Pacific hurricane region. Similar conditions also produced very active Atlantic hurricane seasons during the 1950s and 1960s. In contrast, the opposite phase of this signal during 1970-1994 resulted in only three above-normal Atlantic hurricane seasons in the entire 25-year period.
But I guess a lot of folks don’t believe them….and it’s more fun that way. 🙂
Tell the truth, you corporate fascists! EVERYBODY who’s ANYBODY knows Bush and the Hitlerburton conspirators have been using <a ref=”http://www.haarp.net/”> HAARP </a> to create hurricanes and reinforce their illusion of millenial times to cement their bloody-handed hold on power…

The idea that CO_2 increase would lead to a more violent climate sooner than to a warmer climate has been around for some years. I first heard it, I don’t remember exactly, something like ten years ago, while sitting with some leftist academics fretting about “inevitable” human-caused global warming. Apparently I rolled my eyes or something like that, and a meteorologist among them said that arguably maybe I was right that warming was not underway; diplomatic but not really concessive, he went on to say that some meteorologist respected both for smarts and for avoiding politicization was arguing that the climate would grow more violent sooner than warmer. That’s a colorable scenario but the left has various scenarios hanging like various weapons on a wall. Left’s bottom line argument, “even if we’re wrong, we’re right.”
No, global warming can’t be happening, dammit! I spent a fortune on socks and thermals back in the 70’s when these “academics” predicted the coming of another ice age! Maybe someone on e-bay will trade for sunscreen…

Oh my! I just clicked on the Margo Kingston link to edify my “yankee ignorance”. Is that a pic of her ass or her face? Does it matter? I hope the spelling of her ramblings is just part of her “shtick”, or is she a product of university?
Posted by crusher_of_libs on 08/30 at 01:00 PM • permalink
Thanks for clearing that up for me; I arrived late to the party. I feel relieved for her, but sorry for the actual owner of the photo. As Richard Pryor once said, “I’ve seen better looking faces on iodine bottles”.

Then back to my original query: ass, face or does it matter? Can anyone tell the difference? Saint Cindy Shithat’s long lost sister (or brother)? Last season’s Ultimate Fighting loser? Inquiring minds want to know.

Here’s a link about climate change events—and it’s even from a liberal-left source. (I can’t imagine how it got printed in the Toronto Star, but there you have it.) Still, here it is including references to the Pacific, after your global warming snowfall of a few weeks ago:

Pixy, can you run me through your calculation? How do you come to such a figure?
All the pieces may be coming together. This would mean that virtually half the US population has to be employed as a black helicopter pilots.
What’s the significance of the helicopters being black? Does a black helicopter create more downdraft just like a red automobile is capable of more speed?
All very puzzling this!Posted by Hank Reardon on 08/30 at 07:52 PM • permalink

This is on a par with the news yesterday that a child is suing detention centre operators because he was traumatised by riots, mutilations, and suicide attempts at the Pt Augusta camp. I suppose we can excuse the kid because he’s just a kid, but he’s got some whacko legal advisers here. They apparently didn’t notice that the operators weren’t the ones doing the rioting and mutilation. It was the kid’s fellow detainees. They’re the ones he should be suing. Still, as they say, always go for the money first.

Look, it’s the same shtick that the left used for 9/11. There are reasons that the Islamist terrorists committed these heinous acts, all of which the US is responsible for. And those reasons included every leftist cause including destruction of the Amazon rain forests.
If something bad happens, blame it on something you’re opposed to. As for me, I think Margo has something to do with the hurricane. Tim Lambert’s involved somehow too.

Well, I read somewhere recently that a hurricane the size of Katrina releases the energy of a 10 megaton nuclear bomb every twenty minutes.
Now, let’s assume that Black Helicopter fuel has the same energy density as TNT, and weighs 1kg per litre. That means 10 gigalitres of fuel every 20 minutes, or 500 megalitres a minute.
If we also assume that the Black Helicopters consume 5 litres of fuel per minute, and that the fuel is converted with 100% efficiency to downdraft, that makes for 100 million helicopters.
- Oh yes! George W. is definitely to blame for the havoc wrought by Katrina!
I knew it was only a matter of time! These ruthless ARSEHOLES…Sorry Mr. Jaspan…can exploit any tragedy for their own ends, no matter how bizarre the logic. Didn’t similar catastrophes beset the Gulf coast in the 1880’s??? Their interpretation of events has enough spin to generate their own hurricane!
Didn’t similar catastrophes beset the Gulf coast in the 1880’s???
“Standard Oil Company was founded by John D. Rockefeller in Cleveland, Ohio in 1870, and, in just a little over a decade, it had attained control of nearly all the oil refineries in the U.S.” (Link)
There you have it. Even late 18th century weather disasters were caused by the ruthless American thirst for oil.

Yes they do, Kae, but you can’t see them because they are the same color as the rest of the helicopter.

Yes, Galveston, TX in 1900.

I’m not interested in conjecture like “everybody knows”, I want hard proof just like our new resident scientist Pixy Misa has presented who I might say makes a lot more sense than the UN backed scientists for Kyoto.
Given that similar catastrophies have occurred going back many centuries we are now looking down the barrel of the neo-cons having kept the world in a technological freeze while they wreaked their havoc with those wretched black helicopters.
Next thing is to blame Bush and Howard for the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Today’s neocon. Wears a black balaclava and spit shined jack boots and flies a black helicopter with black “go fast” stripes.
A black ensemble, preferably with a menacing aspect. Yes, that’s the style for me.

McEnroe, I’ve asked Karl Rove to give me a new mentor. ANY mentor. As I told him, the kinder gentler Richard McEnroe doesn’t seem to be working for me. (Like, where the hell is this nicer, gentler version???).
Geesh, even Dave S and JayC were nicer to work for. Well, not real nicer, but a bit nicer. None of you have a nice streak or anything. Which is probably why you’re all neocons I suppose.

- No further proof needed Kae. It’s settled beyond doubt.
Hey do you work for a left wing think tank by chance???BTW I’ll put my order in here as well for my black helicopter with those shit hot extra downdraft side stripes. I’d just love to go on a hurricane raid and lake stealing spree.

See, Hank, I knew the facts would convince you.
OT
The RAAF F111s are doing a dump-and-burn on Saturday evening 2/9 (that’s 9/2 for our US friends) to celebrate Brisbane’s River Fire. Stuff the crackers (fireworks), I want the F111s.
The power! (Maybe that’s what the doof-doof dills in their cars are aiming for, that gut-vibrating power…) Love the F111s, but the neighbour across the street can’t sell up soon enough and take his daily doof-doof with him.
