Has anyone noticed that it’s the middle of August and so far not one hurricane? After the devastating year 2005, the climate alarmists were shouting that global warming was responsible for the high number and severity of hurricanes, and telling us that unless we did something immediately, hurricanes would keep getting worse and worse.

Maybe it’s the alarmists who have the psychological barrier. They so desperately want global warming to be true so they can push their program of complete government control over the use of energy that they can’t take it when the weather doesn’t cooperate with their pet theory.

Or we could say, “you might be a progressive if you believe we face a climate catastrophe, no matter what the facts might be.”
