Poll: Reasons for disasters

[NastyCat4]

Tsunamis, hurricanes, fires and earthquakes have struck one after another this year. What's going on?
It's just a coincidence
It's global warming
It's all Bush's fault
It's the End of Days
Heck if I know?

[truballer#1]

i dont really no

[wxmann_91]

Serious answer: Coincidence.

Nonserious answer: Bush brings bad luck.

Heck if I know...but I have to say, after the hurricanes of horrid impact, the earthquake news and the stupid weather tricks here today (ongoing btw - slow steady rain again now...adding to the runoff), I definitely thought about that exact question for awhile this afternoon. I would love to blame it all on someone, but - I hate naming a problem without a solution, and I don't have one to offer (Culebra is full, sorry!)

CNN has it all figured out that it is the "End of Days". It's just coincidence, everyone jumps to the conclusion its the end all the time.

Does that mean the end of nights as well? This could really mess things up!

[conestogo_flood]

Oh well, then lets go with global warming.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Its all Bushs falt!

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Coincidence...but it is possible that increased hurricane intensity
ALONE may be due to global warming....which affects an active
cycle by making intense storms more intense than usual...

[conestogo_flood]

I blame it on terrorists! Ha, just kidding. I don't know, can things not happen without everyone jumping the gun. We shouldn't even be thinking about it, it's just going to worry us.

[Downdraft]

Its all Bushs falt!

If you want to be a Bush hater brush up on your spelling. It's not falt it's fault.

[Anonymous]

It's Bush's fault. He created hurricane Katrina in a machine so....LOLOLOL j/k

Sorry for the misspilling. You can see by the rolling eyes that was a joke!

[MGC]

Has anyone considered that global warming would first be detected or observed by a melting of the polar ice caps? This would result in a decrease in the thermohyline circulation resulting in a decrease in salinization in the oceans and a "cooling" of the waters. I'm sick and tired of hearing global warming is causing more hurricanes. There have been 40 year cycles in hurricane activity for as long as we have recorded the data. There was certainly less global warming in the 30's and 40's and yet those were active decades for hurricane activity. If you can't back up with science what your saying isn't it best to not say it at all? Global warming is NOT causing hurricanes and I'm not alone in that statement I'm supported by Max Mayfield and every other expert in the field. As for Bush or any other human being causing a seismic event such as an earthquake to trigger a tsunami that is poor unadulterated bull manure. Give it a break people go find a different drum to beat.

Someone really angered mother nature. Just don't anyone tell the volcanoes about this we don't want to give them any ideas, same with asteroids.

Read any good stuff on the ice caps that ARE melting lately? But WAY beyond that...this is, I think, just a fun thread that most are enjoying and no one else is taking too terribly seriously...a good break from the tension of the last months. To help, I am starting a fund to get you a drum to play with for a smile.

I voted for The End Times, but you should have added aliens to the list. I can just see some superior being causing all this havoc just for the entertainment value. The sicko.

[fasterdisaster]

I voted global warming, just to tick Bush off.
