We all remember the chorus around this year’s disastrous hurricane season: “Don’t politicize this! We don’t know if it’s climate change!” Well, thanks to a new field of scientific study, we actually do know if an extreme weather event was made possible by climate change. Get to know … extreme weather attribution!

Bullshit. There is absolutely no way to know if climate change had any effect on the hurricane. There have been several years with natural disasters much worse than 2017. The worst hurricane year on record for the US was 1901. Was it climate change back then as well?
