FAKE NEWS! Fake science! It's all a left-wing conspiracy! It's a money-rackett!! ( Says 45)

Al Roker just said on air: Hurricane Michael intensity due to human-made climate change. MSNBC

He said these storms will pick up without warning with more and more intensity and increasing frequency over time.

He said, this will cause tremendous damage and that with these becoming more and more common, they will be harder and harder to prepare for and recover from.

My opinion: Well, it's not like the scientists haven't been screaming this for years. But since 38% of the country ignores science, and instead, believes god will protect us, I'm guessing we'll be ratcheting up the atheist numbers in the next week in the south.....

That, and the blue algae in florida should be enough to wake people the hell up.
