Harvey was not an atypical hurricane by any measure. It's damage was the result of where it hit, not because of some extreme severity. You guys trying to link individual weather events to climate change are pushing pseudo-science and need to stop it.


More greenhouse gases means a hotter earth,
Which means more water vapor in the atmosphere,
Which means bigger storms.


Harvey never made is above category 3. It was not an especially large or powerful storm. It just happened to make landfall in the U.S., which is fairly uncommon. That has nothing to do with climate change.

Admiral is right here. Unseasonal hurricanes/tropical storms could be used for evidence of climate change, but this wasn't some special storm. It was so damaging because it was moving at a crawl. Faster storms tend to cause less damage cause they move out of the area faster and break up sooner.
