Sen. Debbie Stabenow, recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee and a democrat from Michigan had this to say to the Detroit News on Monday.

“Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.”

Flying? Oh save me. That’s just patently stupid. For starters, Michigan had its coldest July recorded this year EVER. And on top of that..

From the Globe and Mail

Nationwide, there were 826 tornadoes this year through June 30, compared with an average of 934 for the same period during the previous three years, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla. Most twisters strike in Tornado Alley, which generally extends from Texas and Oklahoma to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota.

During a remarkable 17-day lull from mid-May through early June, there were no tornado watches issued anywhere in the United States. And that is typically the height of the season in Tornado Alley.

And on the hurricane front from earlier this week:

Two quiet months during the hurricane season have prompted the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to downgrade its forecast for 2009. Although weather observers say it only takes one major storm to wreak immeasurable damage, there has yet to be a named storm this year. NOAA’s updated prediction calls for up to 11 named storms.

Who’s voting these idiots into office?
