They have a hurricane on their east coast. This is a bad year all round. Fires, droughts, floods (not just in the US) and Idiots in charge.
Idiots in Charge? How so? Please explain, in detail.
Seriously? have you been paying ANY attention?
Yep that climate change thing is such a hoax. This is just an abnormal weather pattern folks. Stay inside and listen to us. All will be well….
this is proof of climate change?!?!? ahh, my friend, try this one on – we make the weather. start investigating haarp
Finally an intelligent assessment!!! People need to pull their heads out of the sand and start investigating & stop drinking the cool aid!!
Thank you. My grandfather has been claiming this for years.
Yeah they won’t admit all the atomic bombs they let off in the 40’s could have affected our atmosphere etc.
[edit] Unless of course your being cynical than yesssss you get it
The weather has been awesome, if this is climate change then I’m all for it ! Keep it coming
Because earthquakes happen as a result of greenhouse gasses and not plate shifts. Got it .
Its the devils fault…..
I believe it starts with the flap of a butterfly’s wing.
It wasn’t long ago that the earth was molten lava and violent storms , uninhabitable.It seems as though climate change has been a good thing so far lol
Algae change.

Definitely climate change ,45 yrs ago I was wearing the same type of clothing in eureka, a friggin jacket in Sept, no surprise, no change
Everything is bigger,stronger we are having extreme weather!! Praying for all in the path of these HURRICANE’S.
Climate change ,gravitational pull from approaching planet,hang on its gonna be awful hard ride. The world is changing as it has for years ,it’s just modern mankind has never seen this type of change.Good luck my friends.
Anything else about this?
I don’t usually cover stories outside our area. I just did because we needed to know that there wasn’t a tsunami threat here. But this is a good piece on the quake. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/with-saxophones-and-sobbing-mexicans-mourn-earthquake-dead/2017/09/09/55edc58e-95c6-11e7-8482-8dc9a7af29f9_story.htmlvvvvvvv
