With the global warming extremists jonesing for climate hurricane news, you’d think the East Coast was underwater already.
Screw this news coverage already.
Went to an economics professor’s speech yesterday and he mentioned how it struck him that the number of deaths from the storm were quite scanty compared to the number of deaths that likely would have occurred (traffic accidents, etc) had people not been ensconced in their homes.
He wrapped the analogy with “Hurricane Irene was a LIFE SAVER!”
Who says econ is the dismal science?
