Pres. Obama slaps Nature in the face, denies expert scientific knowledge about hurricanes

6/15/15, "State of the climate debate in the U.S.," Climate Etc., Dr. Judith Curry

"At the start of this year’s hurricane season, President Obama made the following statement:

• “The best climate scientists in the world are telling us that extreme weather events like hurricanes are likely to become more powerful. Climate change didn’t cause Hurricane Sandy, but it might have made it stronger.”

Chris Landsea, a hurricane expert at the National Hurricane Center, retorted with the following statement:

• “How is it that the White House links changes in hurricanes today to global warming when WMO, NOAA, and IPCC cannot?”"
