As you will learn from this site if you care to search for it, there is strong scientific theory that suggests that global warming would DECREASE the number and strength of hurricanes. So I guess the opposite should be true - if you are worried about reducing deaths from hurricanes then I suggest that you move to a state with coal burning utilities, eat lots of meat to increase the methane, and buy a Hummer. Oh yeah, make sure you buy more China built products as that is the real concern for the vastly increasing CO2. Insolent Braggart –

Regardless of your desire to have a literary license to do so, there is almost no good that can be accomplished by doing so. At best, you will have extremists agree with you but do nothing. At worst though you will help to incite those extremists to vigilantism. As a method to convince others that your version of scientific analysis is correct, spouting hatred is rarely successful. More likely than not you allow others to point to you as a heretic that needs to be ignored. Therefore any points that you may make, are drowned out by the insensitivity of your ranting. You are probably not an avid reader of this site. If you were you would see that there is strong evidence on both sides of this important question. Blind belief in anything is usually wrong and not understanding that others have real concerns is childish.

I am not a trained writer - and just a person frustrated with the deniers of a scientific consensus. When a hurricane caused by global warming takes out our families - what recourse against these deniers do we have then? NO - I don't want them jailed. NO - I don't want them killed (executed). I value the sanctity of all life - I was making a point using extremes - but obviously didn't convey my point that I don't actually want these things to happen. I wrote the article.

NO – I don’t want them jailed. NO – I don’t want them killed (executed). I value the sanctity of all life – I was making a point using extremes – but obviously didn’t convey my point that I don’t actually want these things to happen.
