    Nothing to see here, folks. Just regular weather patterns. Lieberal scientists, thinking they can fool us with their fancy graphs and carefully monitored scientific data!

    Bah, where’s my remote, Hannity’s on!

      You haven’t watched a single Hannity or you would know he doesn’t do weather. He is too busy revealing all the wrong doings of Progressive Liberals. I think it is called “unmasking”.

    I wonder what the weather patterns were like back when Noah had to build the ark?

      “Let’s take a look at the 40-day forecast…”

      “Rain. Rain. More rain. A bunch of rain here. Followed by 6 days of a steady rain.. After that, it’s torrential downpour, Precipitation, rainfall, deluge, ahhhhhh it will never stop!”

      something like that…

    Our weekly IJ global warming article. Seems like they are doing 2 a week now, though.

      One would hope so, since weather and climate related occurrences are huge drivers in the industry for P&L.

      Perplexed, further proof that IJ is a liberal site that is married to an agenda. It is like a religion to these people.

        Shhhh, it’s a conspiracy…

        Or…could it be…that weather and climate-related news… is absolutely… a multi-billion dollar facet of the industry???

        I have said it before, and I will say it again: You guys seem reasonably intelligent outside of the actual content of your posts, which are filled with inane and obtuse garbage. It has to be deliberate.

        Then stay off of it instead of spending so much time writing comments and crying to the ‘monitors’ to make sure your comments are voted on fairly.

          Sorry, Doug Fisher…it looks like my reply was to you rather than Agent. My comment was definitely meant for Agent.

    The insurance industry seems to be concerned about it. Yeah! The insurance industry is full of a bunch left wing liberals. We all know that.

      Perhaps in your limited world view that is the case, but there is probably no more right-leaning industry in the country today than the insurance industry.

      Either way, climate change isn’t a left-wing vs. right-wing issue. It’s a science-literate vs. science-illiterate issue. A recent survey of the country showed that almost 60% of republican respondents said that Universities and colleges were BAD for the country, and even more responded that news organizations and media were bad as well.

      Right-wing radio and TV hosts have tried to erode the American public’s faith in these institutions for decades now, and it looks like it has finally worked. Anti-intellectualism is a cancer that is killing small towns all across the country and it will only spread with these loons fanning the flames.

        Doug, it isn’t wise to worship Global Climate change. That is a failed religion just like Progressive Socialism.

        By the way, our last POTUS said the “most serious” national security issue facing this country was Climate Change. I think the events we are seeing in the world would refute that big time.

          Failed Religion = Thousands of cities all around the world and every country but 3 agreeing to the Paris Accords. LOL.

          The reason that climate change is the biggest threat to our national security is because regions most severely affected by drought, famine, and pestilence are those that go looking elsewhere for water, sustenance and resources. When people are driven from their homes, we get refugee problems. Warlords get agitated by these same conditions and are able to turn their people’s strife into anger.

          It isn’t a perfect comment by any stretch, but long-term? Yeah, climate change is going to be the single biggest driver of threats to sovereign nations. Your high school level of science comprehension is all you have to fall back on, which, judging by all of your hot-takes, is lacking.

            Hey Doug, I believe we have always had the same situation on countries affected by droughts and pestilence and always had dictators who would invade and conquer to increase their territory. It had nothing to do with Climate Change. Progressives seem to think all we have to do is give them a job and they won’t hate us and try to kill us at every opportunity. Britain and Europe is finding out the hard way about these evil doers. Your grade school level of intelligence gives you away as a Progressive troll.

            Our POTUS was very wise to reject the Paris Accords. We don’t want to fund Europe & Asia for their clean up of the environment. Why don’t we re-visit this issue in 2030 when China agreed to start their efforts? If you aren’t satisfied with that approach, go to China and talk them into starting right away.

            “…reject the Paris Accords. We don’t want to fund Europe & Asia for their clean up”

            Spoken like a true ignoramous. The Paris Accords (1) are 100% voluntary, (2) the goals are made up by each country on their own, (3) unmet goals have aboslutely no penalty and (4) countries aren’t paying for other countries actions.

            But yeah, good for the President for getting us out of that! (end sarcasm) He just saved us $00.00

            Already destroyed your China arugment before. Too bad your learning subroutines were broken, apparently.

            China is already far and away the biggest producer of renewable energy in the world and their growth in adopting new technology far outpaces anyone else. You are a mouthpiece for the garbage that you take in from right wing blogs and “news” sites.

            You know when your Secretary of State (an actual business leader and someone with wisdom and learning) and your Secretary of Defense are all pushing towards climate change policies, and you still can’t see that Trump is wrong, you never will.

    Hey I think some of your figures are off. OKC has been in a rough drought and had very little rain in May.
