Hurricane Marco Rubio: How To Protect Yourself

October 22, 2013 | FlaglerLive | 8 Comments

It’s time to take global warming–or climate change, if you prefer–seriously. Climatenamechange.org tells us 2012 was the hottest year on record in the United States, and 10 of the past 15 years have been the hottest on record globally. And as the planet heats up, our weather is becoming more extreme and less predictable. Scientists are expecting a 3.6 degree Fahrenheit increase in global ocean temperature in the next century. Globally, sea levels have already risen 4 inches since 1950, and in the North East U.S., the sea level has risen four times faster than the global average. But deniers abound, especially in Congress. The following video may help.

Petition to the WMO to name extreme storms after climate change deniers.

Since 1954, the World Meteorological Organization has been naming extreme storms after people. As scientific evidence shows that climate change is creating increasingly frequent and devastating storms, and with climate scientists declaring these extreme weather events as the new normal, Climate Name Change propose a new naming system. A system that names extreme storms caused by climate change, after the policy makers who deny climate change and obstruct climate policy. Sign the petition.

Future hurricane names: A few congressional climate change deniers:

Rep. Martha Roby – (R) Alabama
Rep. Mo Brooks – (R) Alabama
Rep. Robert Aderholt – (R) Alabama
Rep. Spencer Bachus – (R) Alabama

    I have to ask–Does today’s Republican Party (especially the Tea Party contingent) think that modern day accepted science (at least, the prevailing scientific theory accepted among the majority of legitimate mainstream scientific organizations) is some kind of Communist/Socialist/Liberal plot against the United States and God? I notice there is only one Democrat named in that whole bunch! It saddens me that some people seem to believe that a belief in modern day science is incompatible with faith of any other kind.

      There was a time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuHvCJ1JiNM (JFK’S ADDRESS TO THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, OCTOBER 22,1963)

      Now we have Republican grifters, Republican religious fanatics (many of whom worship a fanatic sociopathic narcissitic atheist named Ayn Rand – go figure) and Limbaugh, Beck, Fox Zombies, et al.

      Floriduh!

    Apparently not everyone thinks there is any warming going:

      No, biased liberal science. After all, climate change is just a theory, and we know that theories aren’t fact. For example, the germ theory of disease, the theory of gravity, the theory of quantum mechanics, the theory of relativity. It’s not flaglerlive’s fault that many within the republican party have decided to ignore science that might take money away from the companies that donated to their campaigns.

      Seriously, at this point those that deny the fact that the climate can be seriously affected by the actions of humanity are really no better than those within the church that refused to acknowledge the fact that the earth isn’t the center of the universe.

    Can someone explain to me how the sea level can rise faster in one area of the world, the Northeast U.S.? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. And actually A.S.F., there are two Democrats on the list, which brings to mind another interesting question: We’re the Republicans in control of Congress when the glaciers melted forming the Great Lakes, and were they driving SUV’s??.

    Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh say it isn’t so. So it must not be.
