Climate Denial Crock of the Week gives us this new video. Details here.
We are not yet where we need to be with this "when did you stop beating your wife" question sometimes in the form of:
"Can you REALLY attribute ANY storm to Global Warming, really? No? Then is global warming really real? Really?")
Next time someone says something like that to you, consider answering the question with a question:
"Which major storm of the last two decades or so did not include any of the extra climatic energy provided to this planet by the release of fossil Carbon and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere by human activities? WHICH ONES, DAMMIT!?!??"
That last bit is very important.

The big, current, story in the Atlantic is, of course, hurrican/tropical storm (there is some confusion on the status of the storm over the last 12 hours) Ingrid. Regardless of how it is classified, Ingrid is going to cause major flooding in Mexico.
Update:
The new forecast track of Neoguri is shown above as well as the location of two nuclear power plants.
