| Mother Jones says Drudge Was Right about overhype of Hurricane |
| 2016-10-09 |
| A Kevin Drum comment Yesterday Matt Drudge warned us that NOAA was exaggerating the danger of Hurricane Matthew in order to hype the dangers of global warming. Liberals scoffed. But today, even the New York Times was forced to admit Drudge was right. Who's laughing now, libtards? ------- In retrospect, NOAA and the NHC were correct about the storm surge in GA and SC and mostly correct about the torrential rain in GA, SC and NC but wrong about the winds. |

| #4 As a society they do not invest in the things necessary to keep people from being killed by the predictable ravages of nature. You mean like our Gulf Coast (and New Orleans in particular)? |

| #3 Haiti, unfortunately, is brittle. As a society they do not invest in the things necessary to keep people from being killed by the predictable ravages of nature. |

| #2 It certainly did in Haiti. Haiti is not the "U.S." |

| #1 Actually you can't "overhype" a category 4 storm. It is lethal. The nonsense is to blame global warming. The Caribbean always had these storms. The Mayas and Aztecs feared them for a reason. These storms sank Spanish silver fleets. NOAA just did its job. And yes, as it seems, the storm could have done more damage (in the U.S.). It certainly did in Haiti. |
