Thats what I was on about, there was a flood in Yorkshire a few years back and some Preacher said it was caused by gay sex. Have you ever been to Yorkshire?! Its all flat caps, whippets and working class men drinking pints and talking about the good old days..

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels. |

I was talking to Rick Santorum last week and he assured me that God sends Tornados due to filthy gay Dallas sex.. Not a shortage of hybrid cars.
American news outlets are clueless.. we get the facts right here! 
Thats incorrect. God sends tornadoes to Dallas because...well its Dallas.
I do like that people make fun of the "God sent them" but whe someone makes a stupid treehugger statement thats ok.

'Stupid treehugger statements' usually have some kind of truth behind them, even when presented in such a ludicrous way.
The thing about climate change is that a lot of evidence is pointing to it being true. What is the problem with controlling our emissions/finding alternatives?
Fossil fuels won't last forever anyway, if you capture the carbon emissions they can be used in order to extend the life of existing gas/oil wells.
Our Sun is absolutely gagging for us to use it more as a source of energy.

Funny the followers of [insert name here] deity frequently say the same, yet we attack them for their stupidity and boorish behavior for taking advantage of a tragedy.

I think it might be because it's easier for many people to see the evidence of climate change in a research paper when compared to finding proof of god in our modern world.

I forgot about that part. It's not really a done thing to do, no. However if we don't learn from these experiences and their correlation with other factors then they'll just keep happening.
I do agree that phrasing it a bit better would have been a good idea. Don't these guys have press people to write what they say?

The number of tornadoes reported every year have increased in the last 30 years, however the exact reason for this is not certain (it is due at least in part to improved systems identifying more tornadoes).
