Human Induced Global Warming Caused Katrina?

It didn’t take long for the left to blame Hurricane Katrina on President Bush and human induced global warming. Liberals have decided to turn this unprecedented natural disaster into a partisan political game for their own political gain. But this comes as no surprise because liberals have been blaming everything on Bush for quite a while now.

Is human induced global warming truly the cause of Hurricane Katrina?

This question can be debunked very easily. If you take a look at the number of major (category 3, 4, 5) hurricanes--according to the Saffir-Simpson Category scale--to strike the mainland United States each decade, which can be seen by looking at statistical data provided by the national weather service, it is very clear that there have always been major hurricanes hitting the United States since we have been keeping record. Therefore, long before human induced global warming became an issue major hurricanes have been slamming into the United States.

During the 30’s eight major hurricanes hit the United States and in the 40’s there was a peak and ten major hurricanes hit the United States. Since the 50’s there has be a decrease in the number of major hurricanes to hit the United States. In the 50’s eight major hurricanes hit the United States, which dropped to six in the 60’s, four and the 70’s, and five in the 80’s and 90’s. When it comes to the monster category five hurricane, one hit the United States way back in the 30’s, another in the 60’s, and another in the early 90’s. Katrina ended up making land fall as a category four storm.

But liberal environmentalists want you to believe that major hurricanes hitting the United States is something new, which is caused by human induced global warming and George Bush is doing nothing about it. If Bush would have done something about global warming we could have stopped hurricane Katrina, according to the kook liberals. These kook liberals have blamed Katrina, the flooding, and the chaos in New Orleans all on Bush. Therefore this natural disaster caused by hurricane Katrina is 100 percent Bush's fault. These insane claims by the left are clearly idiotic and not to mention hilarious. Also let’s not forget that back in the 70’s liberal environmentalists claimed that there was global cooling.

The point is very clear, destructive hurricanes have been slamming into the United States since we started keeping records back in the mid 1800’s. Hurricanes like Katrina are nothing new and the left should think about doing a fact check on the history of hurricanes. – Jeremy C.
