Al Gore Outsold On Kindle By An E-Book Debunking ‘An Inconvenient Sequel’

Former Vice President Al Gore’s new book is lagging in sales, and, in fact, is being outsold on Amazon Kindle by an e-book debunking many of the claims made in “An Inconvenient Sequel.”

Climatologist Roy Spencer authored an e-book “An Inconvenient Deception” to critique the “bad science, bad policy and some outright falsehoods” in Gore’s latest movie and book, which were released in August. Now, it’s ranked higher in Amazon’s Kindle store.

“There are three big weaknesses in Gore’s new movie: science, economics and energy policy,” Spencer, a noted skeptic of catastrophic global warming, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Excellent, but the problem with that is; liberals will read Gore's book and Conservatives will read the other.

And no one's minds will be changed.

It all comes down to politics
 
Hurricane Irma has now a Cat 5 hurricane. Whether it will hit the US is still in question, although computer models show a high probability it will. This one will be used by the left as an example of how "climate change" is the cause of these storms and their severity. I had posted before that of the 4 worse hurricanes in the history of this country, the top 3 occurred before 1930. #4 was Katrina. Of the top 10, most were prior to the creation of global warming and climate change. For some reason these so called "climatologists" act as if hurricanes suddenly started with Katrina.

Worse by death toll or size and category? Curious because of the fact that there have been some other really big ones and did not know if the "worse" was death toll because of lack of information and proper shelter.

The scale used to measure hurricanes was developed in 1971. The worse hurricanes list was compiled mostly by recorded historical accounts of the storm as well as the loss of life.

I think there are a few different lists available because out of curiosity I Googled and ones that I thought; Andrew and Sandy, were on those lists along with some of the others you mentioned. There are deadliest lists, most costly, biggest, etc... and most of them, from different reputable sources have different hurricanes listed. :dunno:

I think about how we can watch, anytime of the day, what weather is doing. We can see storms forming, and coming our way.

It is crazy to think of what happened prior to technology that warned people of approaching weather... think snow storms, tornadoes, hurricanes...

The Great Galveston Hurricane, known regionally as the Great Storm of 1900, was a Category 4 storm, with winds of up to 145 mph (233 km/h), which made landfall on September 8, 1900, in Galveston, Texas, in the United States. It killed 6,000 to 12,000 people, making it the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

A hurricane to remember: The tragic 1906 storm that struck Mobile
There was no radar to warn of the impending hurricane and the local weather bureau had simply raised a storm flag as their instruments reflected bad weather was ahead. This pattern would not change until 1912 and the Titanic tragedy, after which all ships were required to be fitted with wireless sets, which allowed them to alert coastal towns about bad weather at sea.

On September 27, 1906, a hurricane struck Mobile, causing more than $15 million in damage and drowning an estimated 150 people in the southern part of the county.

The storm moved in on the evening of the 26th, and by the next morning, Mobilians awoke to find the air filled with flying objects – shutters, signs, roof shingles, tree branches, and even bricks from falling walls and chimneys.

The hurricane of September 27, 1906 was a Category 2 at landfall. NOAA’s AOMLsummarizes, ” Destructive winds and unprecedented tides accompanied the storm. At Pensacola, FL, the tide was 10 feet above normal. It was said to have been the most violent storm there in 170 years. The storm’s tide was 9.9 feet above normal. A total of 134 lives were lost from Pensacola, FL to Mississippi in this storm.”

The hurricane was more destructive than any other in the meteorological history of the station, involving a greater loss of property, more numerous marine disasters, and greater destruction to timber. The storm approached this section without any optical premonitory signs or noticeable cloud formations.

The Great New England Hurricane of 1938
On September 21, 1938, one of the most destructive and powerful hurricanes in recorded history struck Long Island and Southern New England. The storm developed near the Cape Verde Islands on September 9, tracking across the Atlantic and up the Eastern Seaboard. The storm hit Long Island and Southern Connecticut on September 21, moving at a forward speed of 47 mph! Sustained hurricane force winds were felt across central and eastern Long Island and southeastern Connecticut. The hurricane produced a destructive storm surge flooding coastal communities as well as producing three to seven inches of rainfall.

Most of you know by now that my (warped) brain is very science oriented. I have to chuckle when a DemoSheeple calls me a science denier.

In all seriousness, we absolutely should monitor this and do what we can to protect our planet. But the sad reality is; the politicization of the issue is blocking real scientific research in favor of what the government dollars want to see.

Anyone who really is concerned with protecting the Earth should support getting politics out of it.
 
WH Homeland Security Adviser Asked to Blame Hurricanes on Climate Change

White House Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert said Monday that it was beyond the scope of his abilities to determine what caused Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, which made landfall in the United States in the past two weeks, and Hurricane Jose following behind in the Caribbean.

CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Bossert to weigh in on whether the Trump administration should look at the link between climate change and the two most recent storms to hit the United States.

“And what I said from the podium the other day and what President Trump remains committed to is making sure that federal dollars aren’t used to rebuild things that will be in harm’s way later or that won’t be hardened against the future predictable floods that we see, and that has to do with engineering analysis and changing conditions along eroding shorelines, but also in inland water, flood control projects,” Bossert added.

Acosta pressed Bossert again on the issue, asking, “Just to follow up on that, when you see 3 Category 4 hurricanes all on the same map at the same time, does the thought occur to you, Geesh, you know, maybe there is something to this climate change thing and its connection to powerful hurricanes? Or do you just separate the two and say, boy these are a lot of big hurricanes coming our way.”

Bossert said he wouldn’t say he had either response, but he noted how accurate the meteorologists forecasts have been about how this will be a “stronger and more powerful hurricane season.”

Irma strengthened into a major hurricane over oceans that had a surface temperature of 26.5 degrees C. You can say that and drop the mic. If your audience stands there confused, they shouldn't be in that conversation in the first place.

Why? Because 26.5 degrees is relatively cool for hurricane development. In fact, it is 2 degrees cooler than models predict is necessary for a cat 3 or higher to develop. What does this all mean? well it means that there is so much more to hurricane development and tracking than freshman thermodynamics.

For severe land tropical cyclones you must look for what was the most unique feature, and temperature had nothing or little to do with either Harvey or Irma. Wind was the common denominator here.

Harvey was unique because it set in one spot over the fourth largest city in the US for four days and pumped moisture directly into eastern Texas and western Louisiana. It was not particularly large or moist, just not driven by steering winds. The lack of winds is not uncommon for Texas in August and September, nor is it related to global warming.

Irma traveled thousands of miles over open water as a major hurricane before it hit anything vaguely resembling a land mass or wind sheer. Again, pretty much luck of the draw, and in fact, when it hit land, with the exception of two vulnerable island chains, it was not a particularly powerful storm although it retained the massive size it gained with a week over open water.

Shhhhh.... you'll hurt the global warming narrative...er...I mean climate change narrative.

How will they distribute the wealth, sell carbon taxes, and help algore stay wealthy enough to pay for that large house that uses more energy and creates a larger carbon footprint that any normal citizen's house? Citizens that he takes to task for not helping "control" global warming, ...er... I mean climate change... by using less energy and paying their fair share for using "fossil" fuel.

We hadn't had big hurricanes hitting the US for years until they started this tearing down of status and BLM stuff.

I think you are correct... we aught to put up more statues from controversial times in US history... gosh maybe kids in US schools will google what happened in that time in history and learn something. History not influenced by progressives perhaps.

Then maybe the Hurricanes will stop... do you think we can get government funding to sponsor this critical imperative to to save the United States?
