It was quite a mess actually- I didn't have power for a week. But you know, now thats it all gone, its not a big deal, and storms happen, they've happened, there is no reason that I should think that all of this happened as a direct result of pollution/global warming/etc. Maybe we notice it so much more since we're so dependant on electricity/electronics in the last century or so, especially with the internet in the last 10 years becoming so popular.
The earth always changes though, with our without humans its not going to remain static forever, remember the ice age? (I hope not

).
Earth´s natural changes takes place in timespans that are something completely different than what is occuring now. Only someone who hasn´t done any research on the subject can claim such an idiotic statement to be true.
Global warming is a fact and has occured in the last 100 years because of the
industrial revolution. We will pay the price.
Here is what one of the leading economists writes about the subject. You know something is fucked up when even the industry starts being worried.
A report released by the British government has everyone talking about the weather, and contains dire reasons for the world to start doing something about it. The 600-page Stern Report warns that, unless drastic measures are taken to combat global climate change, average temperatures will rise 2 or 3 degrees Celsius in the next half century, which will in turn melt ice fields, raise sea levels, strengthen storms, accentuate droughts and cause a wide variety of other catastrophes. The world’s poorest nations will suffer the worst effects and climate change is expected to be most severe in underdeveloped tropical regions. Economist Nicholas Stern does offer reason for hope: A strong stand against climate change, as countries reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the context of an international framework, would require 1 percent of world gross domestic product (GDP). If no such stand is taken, however, climate change could cost the world up to 20 percent of the GDP – comparable to the costs of the Great Depression and the World Wars. – YaleGlobal
