MoveOn.Org: Bush to Blame for Hurricanes

Figures. As Bill Clinton was responsible for the rising of the sun and the fruiting of the vines, it must also be the case that the gods are angry that George Bush won't endorse the Kyoto Accords. Poseidon, God of the Oceans, is in a particular snit over this matter.

Thanks to Jim for the link:

SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- Attempting to take political advantage of the devastating hurricanes that have hit Florida and the southeastern section of the United States in the past few weeks, liberal political action group MoveOn.org is saying that President George W. Bush is to blame for "making extreme weather stronger."
In an e-mail to supporters, MoveOn.org rhetorically asks "why such extreme weather" has taken place with Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Ivan causing billions of dollars in property damage and loss of life.

"Scientists agree that global warming makes sea levels rise and makes storms stronger, because temperature shifts disrupt the normal balance," MoveOn.org explained. "Warmer water makes more violent hurricanes."

The group added that insurance companies such as Swiss Re and Munich Re say "global warming is causing more losses."

...

"By writing to our local papers, we can reach out to neighbors who are concerned about the extreme weather but don't yet know the connection to President Bush protecting the polluters," MoveOn.org argued.

The e-mail concluded, "And best of luck coping with the weather."

This has to be one of your best snarky remarks. As Master P might say, It slices like a f***ing hammer.

Courage Ace.

That's funny moveon.org is blaming it on global warming because i remember just a few weeks ago on NBCs' today show that a weather man from noaa said that he didnt think it was global warming, he thought it was normall cycle that the atlantic goes through every 40-50 years.

Ace,

Don't be so snarky. Everybody knows the hurricanes are Gods way of election manipulation. You know, the whole Gore county=no hurricane, Bush county=fucking maelstrom.

A friend pass ed this along to me the other day - apparently sent to him by a liberal friend (I choose not to associate with them - heh) - the guy has a graphic of the hurricane's paths overlaid with the county by county vote records of 2000. Kinda funny - hurricane's beat the shit out of the counties Bush won, and spared those Gore won.

*update* Fuck it, just saw the comment before mine, and I'm still gonna post this bitch.

I seem to remember reading that solar activity has a lot to do with hurricane formation. Like sunspots or flares or some shit?? How the fuck did Chimpy manage THAT???

Must be something that only an Evil Genius Retard could figure out how to do.

"Good luck coping with the weather"? I'd like to take the author of that email down to Pensacola with that quote taped to his back and tell him, "Good luck coping with the locals."

I simultaneously question the the timing of these ads, Ace's motivation for bringing attention to them, and Karl Rove.

The above plst should have read "and BLAME Karl Rove".

Posted by: George Weathergod Bush on September 24, 2004 03:25 PM

Tony Blair has also made a case against global warming, trying to save his job in Britain. Scientists aren't in agreement on global warming in the first place and none of the people studying it think it has anything to do with the hurricanes.

Randy J. has it right.

It appears that facts don't seem to bear out the claim....

A quick google search notes this paper which looks at data from 1944 to 1996 of a DOWNWARD trend in the number of hurricans:

link: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/downward/index.html

Does not have the last 8 years but that does not seem to bear out the claim of Moveon of more due to global warming.

Another link is this bit that will link to 12 other papers saying the same thing.

Not that such folks as MoveOn will agree of course; their claim of increasing numbers of hurricans even when demonstrated false will be "Fake but Accurate!"

Just for the sake of it:

I read somewhere that US greenhouse gas emissions dropped quite a bit during Bush presidency.

Might be interesting to do a check and see if the Moveon guys just threw another boomerang and turned...

Hurricanes caused by global warming? That's rich!

Everyone knows they're caused by Karl Rove's diabolical weather machine!

Posted by: Sean M. on September 24, 2004 06:50 PM

Sean,

You would do well to unlock your VRWC Secrets Handbook and turn to page 19. Skim down to the second sentence in the third paragraph. Using your official Repug decoder ring, you should be able to read that any and all conversations about Rove's WeatherFucker v.3 ARE NOT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION.

This is how conspiracy theories get started, Bub. Tighten it up or we'll have you deported.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,

Great comments.
Damn Ace, this site has it all.
But seriously, Sean M. ixnay on the eathermachineway.

Aw, nerts! Looks like I let the cat out of the bag!

Uh-oh, I think someone's breaking down my door! Oh no--it's the jackbooted Rove goon squad, and if I can't escape their clutches, I'm doomed to the Bu$hCo. secret gulag for sure!

Help! Help! Someone call the ACL...

Posted by: Sean M. on September 24, 2004 11:13 PM

It's okay--I'm back. It seems Rove's thugs just wanted to "crush my dissent a little bit" because I'd visited Andrew Sullivan's website within the last 6 months.

Once I recited the neocon loyalty oath to Leo Strauss (in Hebrew, natch) they let me go with a warning.

Posted by: Sean M. on September 24, 2004 11:46 PM

Strauss! Almost forgot about that-

I just may go over to DU and post some excerpts there. Just to sit back and listen to the squeals and enjoy the sound of their pants filling up with fear.

I am an airline pilot. When I'm at work and begin to get that uncomfortable shaking inflight which makes it difficult to stand, I always turn on the seat-belt sign, and turn to my co-pilot and say "Damn that Global Warming! I hate that stuff!"

Posted by: azlibertarian on September 25, 2004 11:19 AM

WOW! I ran a recursive analysis on the a matrix of MoveOn and Hurricane ASCII characters. I then limited the range of the returned pseudorandom integers to a range of 1900 to 2000.

These were then assigned as years into the NOAA database of Atlantic hurricane paths for Sept 25th. These paths were plotted on a common map and the following composite image appeared!

From the world of facts: water temperatures in the Atlantic averaged near normal this year. There were a few patches above and below, as usual. One of the warm patches, east of the Windward Islands, helped boost a couple of the developing hurricanes when they passed over. Global warming? Not a factor.

And sea level is not rising.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.

For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.
