I haven't heard anyone claim 'man-made' climate change is causing more and bigger hurricanes i don't recall the points about it; iirc they believe the climate change is going to cause more and bigger hurricanes on average, though obviously it says little about any individual case. not sure if the effects of that have hit yet, or if it's just estimates on the future. not entirely sure what your other remarks are about, don't entirely understand what the drudge nonsense is, so just ignoring that issue. | ||

A guy whose website gets a billion views a month is saying that the government is conspiring to exaggerate the strength of a natural disaster to make people think climate change is real. Hopefully no one will buy into it and not evacuate. | ||

A statewide prayer initiative focusing on the oil fields and beleaguered energy industry will culminate Oct. 13 with an annual breakfast in downtown Oklahoma City. The Rev. Tom Beddow of Ada, coordinator of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma's Oil Patch Chaplains ministry, said he would like to see similar gatherings around the state as people pray for individuals affected by current economic woes, with the energy industry at the center. “The oil field is hurting right now,” he said. “We're asking churches all over Oklahoma to open their doors, put on a pot of coffee and pray for the oil field, and not only for the oil field but the state, because the economy of our state is so connected to the oil field.” Jeff Hubbard, with Oilfield Christian Fellowship- Oklahoma City, agreed. “We have a saying: The oil field trickles down to everyone,” he said. Hubbard said Gov. Mary Fallin has proclaimed Oct. 13 as Oilfield Prayer Day to raise awareness about the initiative. http://newsok.com/article/5520409 This is not satire https://www.sos.ok.gov/documents/proclamations/40070.pdf | ||

Fucking look at that shit. I honestly blame the democrats shifting more and more to the right for the GOP's problems. The dems are appealing more and more to moderate and liberal conservatives while leaving the gop nothing but the crazies left to vote for them. | ||
