Mother nature has a way of evening things out over time. Before the comparatively recent advent of 24 hour news and social media, weather events happened all around the globe and the majority of the worlds Population never knew about it. Now it is covered ad nauseum breathlessly.
IF the polar caps are melting, the cold water released and rising water levels will eventually cool off the earth and affect the weather in ways that will most likely swing the other way and global cooling will happen over a long period of time.

Mankinds immoral conduct will be our destruction before...Mother Nature does her thing.

Of course, maybe we can get the messiah Barack to put a word in for us.

NVgrf - yes it is warming, its warmed and cooled millions of times....its normal. What do you think melted the glaciers? It will warm up until it starts to cool again. Duh.

The projection by the overwhelming majority of scientists is that the polar ice cap will be gone in ten years, not in the ninty years projected a couple of decades ago. So is the globe warming????? Hmmmm?????

We should settle this the old fashion way. We need to find an animal and see if it does a certain thing at a certain time. Like a crow or something. We can get a crow and at high noon on a tuesday, maybe the second one of the month, and a guitar tune in drop C... and when the low C string is plucked if the crow looks to the west or flys to the west then GloBULL warming is coming to get us. We can even make T-shirts that say "Which way will the crow fly?"....we can get everyone to believe it and make millions...and possibly another day off work.

Belief has nothing to do with it
if a dog bites you in the ass.

And some people still believe the Earth is flat, and the moon missions never took place and that the UN is gonna get'em.

kiowamohican - The conspiracy is the money making scam all of this is, pollution control devices, emmision controls...etc. The govt mandates this stuff on manufactured items and goods...and it charges billions of dollars...also provides companies that make the stuff with work. So the made up fairy tale of gloBULL warming helped drive these things in place. The big scare about a hole in the ozone...etc. made people buy more expensive (mandated) products and they accepted it because they were under the impression (by the govt) that our planet would die if we didnt adapt to these new ways. meanwhile science has evolved dismissing most claims that the humans are wrecking the earth and then the govt tries to tell us we are running out of oil. Same BS just a new excuse....to line their pockets with billions. We the sheeple of the united states have the wool pulled right over our eyes....we have for a long time, that is what this country is founded on...secrecy.

Though it was hotter than he__ this summer, hmmm...

There is no such thing as Global Warming.

Perhaps one should also ask the question if they are government conspiracies? That was one of the better conspiracy theories I have heard in a while after Katrina. In that governments are actually building and testing equipment to spawn hurricanes, and use them as weapons. Pretty far fetched, but one must love a good conspiracy theory! Global warming likely plays some role. Warmer ocean waters will spawn more, and bigger ones (as we just saw) to boot. Will it change anything policy wise? NOPE! Al Gore pretty much single handily KILLED the whole global climate change science. As he appointed himself the expert on the subject(the same man who claimed to invent the Internet), ALL credibility was lost from then on. Any time you put up a hypocritical, self serving, blathering fool as your face, you are pretty much DONE forever, even if your science has some real credibility to it. Global warming ranks pretty much dead last (in all polling data) now in issues people care about in elections. GREAT WORK GORE!

If this type of storm only happened during global warming why has it happened in the past as well? The last time was in the 1930's.

The man made global warming religion is for the weak minded.

No, it's just another in the series of events leading up to the end of the Mayan calendar in 52 days.

Anyone who believes in the gloBULL warming trend needs help. Its called NORMAL climatic fluctuation, its been happening since forever.

If you ask Al Gore, then the answer is yes...as he wants his stock to go up in value for his retirement

The weather is too complex for us to know if global warming had anything to do with the “Frankenstorm”.

Sorry Global Warming Alarmists, The Earth Is Cooling
