No hurricane or tropical storm headed for Tampa, just an excuse for climate terror like Nat. Journal. 90 yrs. since hurricane hit Tampa

TAMPA— "With this city under a tropical storm watch, organizers of the Republican National Convention were set to go forward with an opening night party Sunday while working on packing four days of planned events into three."

Old Jedi Mind Trick

The goal is to stop Obama from destroying the country, not behave like Joe Romm. Stick with the plan. The (barely) tropical storm Isaac is going nowhere near Tampa."

===============================

Ed. note: Tampa hasn't been hit with a hurricane in 90 years. The state of Florida hasn't had one for 7 years. The entire US is without a hurricane for the longest stretch of time since record-keeping began:

8/22/12, "Have years of no hurricanes made us complacent?" FloridaToday

This is currently "the longest period the nation has gone without a hit from a major hurricane since the government began keeping records in 1851."

"Tampa hasn't endured a direct hit by a full-fledged hurricane in 90 years and even the state of Florida hasn't had a direct hit since Wilma in 2005."...

======================

National Journal's Coral Davenport ignores these scientific facts and proceeds full steam ahead to sell GOP climate terror in Tampa, even getting API's Jack Gerard to admit he's guilty of excess CO2 in the US which doesn't exist.

8/24/12, "Storm Threatening Tampa Puts GOP Climate Position in Spotlight," National Journal, Coral Davenport

A commenter to Davenport's article notes he was interviewed by Davenport but her article only used material that matched her "pre-conceived notions." The commenter's view is substantiated by the 2012 UN report on climate extremes. Ms. Davenport's is not though she claims it is.

Commenter, "Stanley Goldenberg"

"It is irresponsible to attribute individual weather events, no matter how severe, to man-made climate change. Yes -- CLIMATE CHANGE (natural fluctuations) have a major impact on overall activity, as cited in my article published in the journal of SCIENCE -- co-authored by other well-know hurricane climate scientists -- Drs. William Gray (CSU) and Chris Landsea (NHC). There are numerous other published scientific articles that challenge the findings mentioned in the article from Kerry Emmanuel. Sadly this article was very one-sided in its approach. I was interviewed by the author but she chose to only use quotes that agreed with her pre-conceived notions."

====================

Davenport has climate terror to sell so accuses Republicans in Tampa and elsewhere of "denying scientific findings" while it's she who "denies scientific findings" and "questions science." Putting aside her hurricane terror gaffe and even assuming man's CO2 is warming the environment, the lynchpin of the global climate terror industry is the ability to blame the US and extract money. But US CO2 is no longer a factor, has been dropping since at least 2006, is going lower, and is doing all this without cap and trade and extra taxes, though billions of US taxpayer dollars have been diverted to 'climate' issues for over 2 decades. Further, Davenport cites two reports to back up her claims of US climate terror but neither report does so. The headline to Davenport's story presents US CO2 terror as fact and ties it to Republicans in Tampa. A large picture of a scary looking sky is placed atop the article for added terror.
