Here's one, Mr. BullKrap.LOLOLOLOLOL......poor deluded and very confused denier cultists....
It is shown to you that most scientists publishing papers about the climate in the 70's were already predicting global warming....and you respond with a video of a newscaster? LOL.
So where's the Katrina force hurricanes,
Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Bagyong Yolanda, was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, devastating portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, in early-November 2013.[1] It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon recorded in modern history,[2] killing at least 6,300 people in that country alone.[3] Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of one-minute sustained wind speed.[4][5] As of January 2014, bodies were still being found.[6]
After becoming a tropical storm and being given the name Haiyan at 0000 UTC on November 4, the system began a period of rapid intensification that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on November 5. By November 6, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the system as a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale; the storm passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau shortly after attaining this strength.
Thereafter, it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on November 7, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds to 235 km/h (146 mph; 127 kn), the highest in relation to the cyclone. The Hong Kong Observatory put the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds at 285 km/h (177 mph; 154 kn),[7]prior to landfall in the central Philippines, while the China Meteorological Administration estimated the maximum two-minute sustained winds at the time to be around 280 km/h (174 mph; 151 kn). At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute sustained winds to 315 km/h (196 mph; 170 kn), making Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone ever observed based on one-minute sustained wind speed; several others have recorded lower central pressure readings.[4]Several hours later, the eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Gradually weakening, the storm made five additional landfalls in the country before emerging over the South China Sea. Turning northwestward, the typhoon eventually struck northern Vietnam as a severe tropical storm on November 10. Haiyan was last noted as a tropical depression by the JMA the following day.
The cyclone caused catastrophic destruction in the Visayas, particularly on Samar and Leyte, Cebu, Capiz, Negros, and Northern Iloilo. According to UN officials, about 11 million people have been affected – many have been left homeless.[8]
Sea levels are rising at accelerating rates. Coastlines are being submerged and small island nations are indeed in trouble with coastal erosion and subsidence and saltwater intrusions into their aquifers. These are currently happening and will only get worse as Greenland and Antarctica lose increasing amounts of ice mass into the ocean. No one, including former Vice-President Gore, has ever claimed that any coastlines or islands would already be submerged at this point in time. In the future, yes; by now, no. You are the victim of the deliberately fraudulent denier cult myths that the fossil fuel industry propagandists have spoon-fed into your gullible little brain.submerged coastlines, and sunken islands that Fat Albert said would have us by now, asshole?
