This is a hurricane that slammed into the coast, sat there, returned to the gulf, picked up more steam, and is about to slam back into Texas. Harvey has already dropped more rain than Amelia, and we are only half way through this.
Just to give you an example.... The damage during Amelia is $110 million dollars. Harvey is going estimated at $60 billion.

Yes I know that Amelia was a tropical storm. Does that somehow discount the amount of rain it dropped? One of the bits I posted further up actually said tropical storms can be more efficient at dropping lots of rain because of their generally slow moving nature.
And yes I see now that Harvey has surpassed Amelia. It still doesn't mean that it has anything to do with man made global warming at all. It's just a freak set of natural and unfortunate circumstances.

I know its easy to hide your head and sing lala and pretend nothing is happening, but for fuck sakes man, you and other science deniers need to grow up.

I am not a science denier - you are. And worse still you are a denier of reality. You are in no position to be telling anybody to grow up when you approach the subject with the mentality and naivete of an 8 year old.
It should be really simple for you - look at the chart I posted further up. It clearly shows that there is no increase in tropical cyclone activity. In fact there is a slight decrease. Do you deny that or do you simply ignore it because it causes you cognitive dissonance?
It is naive zealots like you that are set to upend civilization based on a lie.
