"Irene is Obama’s punishment"

"If anything is getting weirder, it’s the arguments of the climate-change crowd. They are increasingly unnerved by the collapse of their belief system, as was illustrated by Al Gore’s emotional meltdown at an Aspen Institute speech earlier this month. Warmists no longer can hold the public’s attention with cute pictures of polar bears and earnest stories of looming long-term catastrophes. They need deadly impact now. Thus, every natural disaster, be it a flood, a drought, an earthquake, a tsunami, a tornado, a hurricane, a blizzard, a heatwave or even a cold snap, is somehow tied to their pet theory."
