It looks like there's been a massive increase in floods. But there's also been a huge increase in earthquakes since 1970, it's just that they selected a scale and time period which makes the earthquake increase appear smaller.
This bops their argument, that the increase in disasters isn't due to better statistics collection.

mustang think about it. wouldnt you like to fight in this epic war against nature. the singular will of mankind, conquering the nature, and reducing the temperature by a magnificient display of force.

Thing is, temperature was falling during the period of rapid growth from 1945 to 1973.
Climatology attributes this to industrial aerosols, and the cooling ended when environmental regulations were enacted to reduce them.
If you want to cool the climate, fight liberalism.

all the free peoples of the world - united under the Will, through blood and sweat and steel, conquer the climate behemoth and cast it down towards the abyss. It's time to be a hero
MIT Study: Wind Power May Cause Global Warming
Wind power has emerged as a viable renewable energy source in recent years — one that proponents say could lessen the threat of global warming. Although the American Wind Energy Association estimates that only about 2 percent of U.S. electricity is currently generated from wind turbines, the U.S. Department of Energy has said that wind power could account for a fifth of the nation’s electricity supply by 2030.
But a new MIT analysis may serve to temper enthusiasm about wind power, at least at very large scales. Ron Prinn, TEPCO Professor of Atmospheric Science, and principal research scientist Chien Wang of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, used a climate model to analyze the effects of millions of wind turbines that would need to be installed across vast stretches of land and ocean to generate wind power on a global scale. Such a massive deployment could indeed impact the climate, they found, though not necessarily with the desired outcome.

catchphrase
Why is it so easy to create inadvertent libertarians?
Because it's the simplest political position.
Just by the law of entropy, if you keep forcing your opponent to be more and more cynical, they will inevitably revert to opposing the state and sounding like Rothbard.
