#1 Curry became skeptical of climate change alarmism after the Climategate scandal erupted in 2009. She later admitted that her critics had a point and confessed that her research had some "bad data" and that "natural climate variability" was a factor.

#2 There has been NO increased intensity of hurricanes, so looking for any causation becomes, uh, moot.

From 1915 to 1965 hurricanes were more numerous and powerful than they have been from 1965 to 2015. For all but those incapacitated by e/video ennui it is ridiculously easy to look up.

Now, since our betters there on the Big Rock Candy Mountain on the Potomac decided it was a wise and far seeing policy to insure virtually anything built in any proximity to the ocean costs from hurricane damage have sky rocketed.

#3 the consensus regarding climate change among the scientific community is "manufactured".

And when we say manufactured, we mean the biggest scientific hoax since the Piltdown Man. Which is a pity since figuring out how planetary climate works is a fascinating problem. Hint: it has f**kall to do with carbon dioxide.
