    Reblogged this on Tallbloke's Talkshop and commented:
    New Yorkers were unlucky that Sandy arrived at the time of a full moon, amplifying its effects.

      from Wikipedia…
      “Hurricane Sandy was not the first to hit New York: A 1938 storm ‘The Long Island Express’ pounded the Eastern Seaboard. The storm formed near the coast of Africa in September of the 1938 hurricane season, becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Long Island on September 21.
      Long Island was struck first, before New England, Vermont, New Hampshire and Quebec, earning the storm the nickname the ‘Long Island Express’. The winds reached up to 150 mph and had waves surging to around 25–35 feet high.[The destruction was immense and took a while to rebuild. The western side of the hurricane caused sustained tropical storm-force winds, high waves, and storm surge along much of the New Jersey coast. In Atlantic City the surge destroyed much of the boardwalk. Additionally, the surge inundated several coastal communities; Wildwood was under 3 feet (0.91 m) of water at the height of the storm. The maximum recorded wind gust was 70 m.p.h. at Sandy Hook.”

      Atmospheric CO2 in 1938 was not much above pre-industrial. And for the next 37 years the climate cooled even as CO2 continued to increase.

    The BBC lost all sense of reality many years ago. It is now just a distributor of propaganda and fake news.

    Did the weather presenters all TUPE over to the new forecaster when the BBC dumped the MetO? In the past the weathermen and ladies were trained meteorologists but now they just read a computer printout.

    BBC spit in your face again
    They take money from the whole of the public, and use their special platform to push their own pet agendas

    Lancet plays politics with dumb climate health claims to pressure upcoming CON27, climate s-stirrer Rowlatt exposes his and BBC’s extreme bias and says it’s a call to arms.

    The BBC’s idiotic weather girl Louise Lear absurdly claimed tonight that the UK’s current spell of warm weather is due to climate change! Clearly she hadn’t bothered to check the temperature record of London in 1921, when the mercury reached 28 degrees C during the October heatwave.
