#1 Remember that MMGW has *no* negative case. So no matter what happens to the weather, it proves MMGW.

And unicorns. And magical fairies and shiat.

#2 Hmmm, quietist hurricane season and quietist sun spot season. Cause and effect? Nahhh, its got to be capitalism!

#3 MMSE - Man Made Sunspot Extinction If they're gone it must be our fault. Too many people sun bathing and wearing sun glasses. Maybe tapping all the Solar Energy is depleting the Sun.

We could start a Sunspot futures market.

#5 It would seem to show the weather/climate establishment and their models make accurate predictions.

What that means for global warming, you can decide.

After all GW was predicted to be an uninterrupted steady increase in temperature and related effects, overrding all other cycles, like the ENSO, right?

#6 We have AGW predictions dating back from at least the 80's. How accurate have they been in over 20 years? LOL. Do you need to ask?

Of course, the new predictions are all super-improved and stuff. LOL.

#7 "We have AGW predictions dating back from at least the 80's."

I'm still waiting for "The Coming Ice Age" predicted in the 1970's - by some of the same clowns now predicting warming.

Here's a free clue: It'll get warmer. It'll get colder. Just like it has FOR MILLENNIA.

Idiots.

#8 The storms are out here in the PACIFIC - its been almost a week of very heavy rains. The good news is it drizzles in-between, and does despite the eyes of the storms being far way.

#9 El Nino is predicted, which IIRC leads to less hurricanes, a drier Northwest, more rain for here in So Cal, TX, OK and the midbelt. Would be welcome

#10 You forgot to mention that it also means more 'Global { Warming | Cooling | Stagnation }! WE ARE ALL DOOMED!' alarmists.

#11 Speak for yourselves. Living in Austin, Texas and having the hottest July on record. And a worse drought since the 50's. I think we had 20 days plus temps of 100 degrees or more. Hit temps 105, 106 etc. August is not looking any better. ( There I'm done whining now, carry on now)
