Oh jeez, the stupid, it burns like thermite.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo connects the Boston terrorist bombing and climate change as the “new normal”:
“It’s a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately, … one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the ‘new normal,’ if you will,” he explained. “So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a ‘new normal’ when it comes t0 climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. ‘New normal’ when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world. Where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent.”

The runner up comment goes to Brad Johnson of Forecast the Facts:
The only poison here is Brad and Andrew’s distorted worldview of seeing the climate change bogeyman in every weather event.

Sick. And it’s only a precursor to what’s inevitable- the government will be wanting even more from the tax trough after this tragedy. Om nom nom nom…
It’s not as though we’re subjected to the multiple IEDs per day the Iranians suffered from
for years. When that comes to pass, Cuomo will not appear the fool. But that’ll never happen, so Cuomo’s chances of being mistaken for a rational humanoid appear exceedingly slim. A chip off the old blockhead, I’d say. The acorn didn’t fall far from the tree.
Stupidity… new normal?
In Bath school district Michigan in 1925 a janitor blew up a school witht the children still inside. So what the hell is this jackass talking about?
Unfortunately Mr Cuomo shares that quality common to most western politicians, a guaranteed ability to mouth complete cobblers no matter what the subject.
I wish I could say it was the “new normal” for so many opportunist politicians to try to instil fear into the populace, but sadly it is quite traditional.

And exactly when was this? As far as I know, despicable acts performed by deranged people have been occurring pretty much forever.”

Extreme climate events have also been occurring pretty much forever. However, when one of these extreme events just happens to hit close to home, a naive person is tempted to think it is the “new normal” for the entire world. Cuomo has obviously fallen for this illusion and for the idea that a single local weather event like Sandy is representative of a world-wide change in climate.
“Those who have an excessive faith in their theories or in their ideas are not only poorly disposed to make discoveries, but they also make very poor observations.”

These people are so lost in the habit of trying to turn everything into some sort of advantage regardless of what it is, they are pushing it to the point where people will have to see them as insane to preserve their own sanity.
I just want everyone to know that increased CO2 has caused me to laugh at that silliness. ;-))
HEY! New York voters. WAKE UP! This guy took a tragedy and is trying to spin it to support a hypothesis (failed) that is used to promote his political philosophy.
Cuomo is a political opportunist willing to do or say anything as he panders to various constituencies. He ran for governor, and won as a “moderate” democrat. He is a repulsive snake, even for a politician.
it’s called framing the debate, but the repetition and stupidity is now isolating the proponents as irrelevant in a huge worldwide voter backlash, the weenies need to wake up or will they just wonder “what happenned”
Cuomo is the new abnormal. He and his ilk wanted to ban guns after Sandyhook; wouldn’t surprise me if he came up with legislation after the Boston bombing to ban pressure cookers.

Translation: He’s a politician! OMG!
People have lost children, sisters, brothers, men, women, limbs and security. Any connection of such a travesty with a “climate change” won’t bring things back to the way they were much less sooth such heartache. It is a disgusting politically motivated media grabbing photo-op on the backs of the victims of terrorism.
Some groups of people hate western civilization. For any reason they can find and for no reason. It is bigotry against those different than you and then taken to extreme levels. The only recourse is to put such people engaged in extreme behavior in a safe place where they can hate all they want to 4 barred walls. Don’t even try to change their minds. There will always be more born, those that hate at this level, no matter how many of them we salt away in cells or coffins.
Idiotic comments by self-proclaimed progressives and warmistas are the new normal.
I think it’s a reach to conclude that Cuomo has connected anything to anything. He’s just flapping his yap, like a toddler trying to make jokes and not realizing that the adults are laughing AT him, not WITH him.
Meanwhile the other toddlers in the room are gaping in admiration, wishing they were THAT clever!
The Hindenburg disaster was also caused by rapid climate change. I’ve seen the light Cuomo. We should now repent as a nation and convert to the cult of climate communism. Putz.
i’m happiest when you’re showing scientific rigor Anthony – this article doesn’t count as such
as much as i dislike Cuomo – i don’t see the “connection” you see between the Boston bombings and “climate change” – you may see Cuomo trying to make one – in the sense of a parallel evil – but it could instead be that you see Cuomo making one – when he wasn’t – when he was merely defining “new normal” by using a couple situations – and that could be done without malice – the malice is in your mind
just like the headline to this article – when i read it – i assumed Cuomo was making a causal connection – then i read the article – and found otherwise
as a general rule – it’s perfectly okay to mention several situations at the same time – certain people may see something offensive – and that may have been intended by the speaker – or not – what sort of science says “let’s jump to conclusions”
Progressive socialism is a mental disease of irrational cognition, as comments like Andrew Cuomos so clearly illustrate.
Reason is not automatic. Those that deny it cannot be conquered by it. Ayn Rand
Cuomo has three letters from the word “Moron”! What happened to the other two?

“WTF”
Indeed! Hey New York, he’s ALL yours…[ugh!]
What part of his anatomy is his mouth connected to? Because it’s no his brain!
