US News and World Report is running a poll on whether or not Hurricane Sandy was caused by global warming. Here is the poll results currently:
Since it is open to everyone, no matter what side of this opinion you come down on, see their web site to add your vote if you wish.

UPDATE: From reader input it seems this poll is apparently of even poorer quality than one would expect, and allows multiple voting. NO to vote stuffing. Be honest, 1 vote per person please…though, they may allow you to think it was counted. Sigh, what a poor design for a national magazine. In any event none of that vote stuffing please. OTOH this lack of basic input control negates any value the poll may have. – Anthony
It just keeps getting worse for the Believers.
It is now:
31.12% Yes
68.88% No
Science and truth trumps the idiotic belief in the magical properties of C02.
It’s now 70% no vs 30% yes
The big problem was caused by global cooling — a blast of cold Canadian air that made the storm turn hard left — like those deadly pronouncements from left-wing warmists — instead of continuing harmlessly on its original course off into the north Atlantic
As for my vote, it’s naturally a “NO”.
I just voted. Here are the current stats:
29.86% Yes
70.14% No
The global warming zealots theory is destroyed when they say “its the worse hurricane since!”
This event, clearly related to natural causes, is part and parcel of natural weather pattern variation cycles. Climate, a stable entity that encompasses the outer boundaries of extremes, includes longer term weather patterns that meanders much like a river bed between the climate boundaries.
I never saw a poll result change so fast as when this one came to the attention of skeptical readers. “Power to the Posse”.
Good. Twas caused by the global cooling. Keep ur eyes on the T ball.
Rapid swing in the poll proves that WUWT has more readers than U.S. News and World Report.
Just dropped in to vote no, record current totals:
Was Hurricane Sandy Caused by Global Warming?
29.28% Yes
70.72% No
It seems to me that a cooling planet would also be a stormier planet, but the big question remains: …compared to what?
