It’s like clockwork: there’s some event, be it a holiday or breaking news, and Liberals use it to push one of their unhinged belief sets. If it’s bad weather they push “climate change”. Here’s disgusting and abhorent Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
(Daily Caller) “So, you may have a question for me,†Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.â€
There’s no point in providing any scientific evidence that shows Whitehouse is bat guano crazy, Warmists will never believe real facts, they have a political position to push, one which gives The Government more and more power over citizens and the private sector.
Hey, @senwhitehouse, since you are so concerned with “Climate Change”, have you given up fossil fueled travel? Will you bike to D.C.?

Democracy Now! discusses the Oklahoma tornado by quoting several leading Warmists, Bill McKibben and Kevin Trenberth, who said tornadoes are all about “climate change”. The Fiscal Times tells us that bad weather related federal government relief costs will continue going up because of “climate change”. Disgusting Daily Show producer Lizz Winstead tries her hand at during-tornado humor, and is beaten like a rented mule.
Red, Green, And Blue says that “climate change” is giving us more and bigger tornadoes. This goes with the meme from the Huffington Post the other day when they published an article “Is Climate Change Increasing Tornado Intensity?” The actual answer was “we have no freaking clue”, because there is no scientific data to prove one way or another. Give Warmists a few more days and they’ll trot out some study to show that people driving fossil fueled vehicles are causing these.
Fortunately, many of the typical suspects are answering the HuffPo question and also saying “no”. Bill Nye, a virulent warmist, and Grist both point out that these types of natural disasters have happened before and will happen again, and that there’s not scientific proof anything is changing. Also a column at NBC.
But, there are still tons of Warmists running around on Facebook and Twitter and other social media yammering on about the link between “climate change” (they mean man-induced, to be clear) and these tornadoes. If anything, a cooler winter and spring would tend to create more and bigger tornadoes, as these are typically created by cool dry air hitting warm moist air. And this spring has been cool.
More: Add Barbara Boxer (D-Brokeifornia) to the list of the unhinged
California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer blamed the tornado that devastated Oklahoma on global warming during a Senate floor speech Tuesday, using the opportunity to push her own plan to tax carbon dioxide emissions.
“This is climate change,†Boxer said. “This is climate change. We were warned about extreme weather: Not just hot weather, but extreme weather. When I had my hearings, when I had the gavel years ago — it’s been a while — the scientists all agreed that what we’d start to see was extreme weather.â€
She used this bat guano crazy rant to push for a carbon tax….surprise, more big government! Problem is, the count of large tornadoes is down. We need more data (which is hard before the 1950’s, since we did not have the satellite coverage nor the population in the affected areas to determine), but, it almost looks like we get more large tornadoes during cooler periods.

Yesterday it was
Democrats Introduce Hotcoldwetdry Preparedness Bill
Last Fall it was
the Sandy Rainstorm was over hyped and maybe not really a hurricane.
Noted coldist Pat Robertson who has in the past said that “Nutty P.H.Ds. believe in climate change”
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/02/22/pat-robertson-on-climate-change-its-nutty-to-think-climate-change-causes-bigger-storms/
Coldist Pat had previously said that tornados could be stopped through prayer. Now has this to say about the OK tornadoes. He lames the VICTIMS for choosing to live there. Says it is not God’s fault.

God doesn’t send tornadoes to hurt people,” the Christian Broadcasting Network founder said. “He doesn’t send – what you call ‘acts of God’ – but they’re not. So, all I can say is – why do you build houses in places where tornadoes are apt to happen?”
He also has in the past blamed people for building houses next to the ocean. ??/ Wait do I recall another poster here ALSO voicing the same beliefs after Rainstorm Sandy ?
I’m not surprised that you can’t find itself within yourself to find Whitehouse’s comments despicable.
