A LIST FROM WIKI OF THE DEADLIEST AND WORST HURRICANES BEFORE THE SO-CALLED MAN-MADE C02 ERA

I POST THIS LIST THIS BECAUSE I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT HURRICANE DEAN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GLOBAL WARMING, OR CLIMATE CHANGE.

SURE: HURRICANE DEAN IS A HUGE STORM.

AS THE FORECASTERS ARE SAYING, IT WILL PROBABLY BE THE WORST ONE TO HIT JAMAICA IN 100 YEARS.

MEANING: 100 YEARS AGO - BEFORE MANKIND WAS PRODUCING MUCH CO2 - THERE WERE HUGE NASTY HURRICANES.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MAN-MADE CO2.

HURRICANES ARE NATURAL, THEY COME IN MANY SIZES. THEIR FREQUENCY SHIFTS.

THAT'S JUST THE PLAIN TRUTH.

I KNOW AL GORE DOESN'T LIKE IT, BUT TOUGH SHIT.
