RUSH: There have not been… In 11 years, there has not been a single major hurricane strike land in the United States, and you point that out and they will run stories on how you are a denier because you are upsetting the narrative that the state wants you to hear. But isn\u2019t it settled science? You don\u2019t even need a consensus here. Isn\u2019t it settled science that there have been zero major hurricanes striking the US in the last 11 years. Why aren\u2019t the people denying this called deniers? Why are people like me pointing it out to you held up for ridicule and challenge when it is inarguably true?<\/p>\n

And the reason is, it doesn\u2019t advance the agenda. When they\u2019ve been out there for decades trying to tell you that global warming is causing all of this, and then there are 11 years that go by and there\u2019s not a single damn major hurricane, it just blows their whole narrative to smithereens. You\u2019re not supposed to do it. You\u2019re not supposed to challenge the state, and somebody comes along like I do and do it and they get ticked as hell.<\/p>\n
Now, just these two things. I had to read this very quickly before the previous hour ended. These next two things come from our own meteorology, Dr. Roy Spencer, University Alabama at Huntsville, who is a noted expert on climate change, on the science side of it. Not the political side, on the science side of it. He has his own website, weather, abnormalities, normalcies, what have you, there are several published papers by noted academics who do not follow the line of the state that have analyzed lake-bottom sentiments in Florida, and here is a quote.<\/p>\n
“It is instructive to note…” And I will translate this for you. Don\u2019t sweat it. “It is instructive to note that over the past century and a half,” that\u2019s 150 years, “of ever-increasing fossil usage and atmospheric CO2 buildup,” which is what they claim is causing everything. Climate change, global warming, all of it is because your SUV added CO2 and all of that. After 150 years “of ever-increasing fossil fuel utilization,” the industrialized development of the country, “the frequency of the most intense category of hurricanes in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico has been lower than it was over the” past 5,000 years.<\/p>\n
So these people are saying that increased CO2 has reduced the intensity of hurricanes. Do you remember some of the excuses three or four years ago when we hadn\u2019t had a major hurricane? Do you remember some of the excuses that the learned meteorologists told? Sahara Desert sandstorms. Yes, my friends, Sahara Desert sandstorms. So much sand was whipped up in the atmosphere that it totally screwed up the formation of hurricanes and it led to wind shear which caused the tops of these hurricanes to be whipped right off of them, retard the formation of hurricanes.<\/p>\n
Sand storms in the Sahara Desert.<\/p>\n
“Hey, Mabel, you hear that? Sand storms! Well, we he need more sand, Mabel.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, the space sciences guy, the Goddard Space Center guy, was on with Judy Woodward of PBS. (impression) “Judy, it\u2019s all just climate change, global warming, of course probably see it involve the ever rising sea levels. Couple the sea level rise with the storm surge and you have potentially catastrophic storms.” Right. Sea level change. You know what it is? Sea level change has averaged one inch per decade. So the 10 to 15-foot storm surge is still 10 to 15 feet. One inch per decade. Negligible!<\/p>\n
