Global Warming Entirely To Blame?

Look, I DO believe that global warming is a serious issue, but I'm getting tired of hearing the environmental extremists blaming global warming, to the seeming exclusion of any other criteria, for monstrously catastrophic, destructive hurricanes like Katrina, and, as of this writing, no doubt Rita, too. Global warming no doubt has something to do with it, but not nearly as much as some environmental extremists are claiming. We could very well be in one of those intense-weather cycles, and these monster hurricanes are just part of them, that's all.

Yes, global warming IS REAL, despite what this asinine administration believes, but by the same token, as I've said, patterns of intense weather are also cyclical. Global warming is a fairly recent phenomenon, and there were terrifically destructive storms to strike here in the U.S., and in other parts of the world as well, LONG before there was global warming. For example, the "Blizzard of (18)'88," the legendary "Hurricane of '38," the Galveston hurricane of 1900, to name just a few, all occurred years before there was any such thing as global warming.

To blame global warming pretty much exclusively is just plain ignorant and irresponsible.
