I thought Climate Change was causing more and worsening storms!

Did you know that hurricanes hitting the US are not more but slightly less frequent? That climate disaster costs are declining?
That our current climate policies costs a lot and deliver little?

A word from Tim:
One commenter suggested this is a coefficient of better warning systems. I pointed out that warning systems won't let you move your house out of the path of a hurricane. I also pointed out that drownings have been declining for twenty years now despite allegedly increasing weather disasters - how could that be? In the end it's clear that extreme weather events are declining if anything. oh, and this despite the fact that we are now building in flood plains and other places that in bygone days we avoided for just such a problem.

I read somewhere in the past couple of days that we can expect a "super" El Nino this year, which they say will cause fewer hurricanes. Whether this is a real prediction from real climate experts or just posturing from CNN-type "experts," I can't say. I don't know for sure myself because I'm not a meteorologist, nor do I play one on TV.

I've heard that on the news too and saw it a few places but still have yet to confirm it from the climate people I trust. Still, if we have one the Gang Green will use it to "prove" global warming. I'm already tired of arguing with those clowns on Facebook.

Customization goes beyond appearance, allowing adjustments to suspension, gear ratios, and tire grip, giving players full control over how their car behaves on the road.
