Hurricane our fault?

Global warming now plays the bad guy more often than Alan Rickman, and in concert with the evil US, we start to get a picture of who is to blame for the hurricane. Certainly it can't be nature. No, it must be that dang global warming, and it is all our own fault. I mean, it isn't like we've ever had devastating hurricanes before. It is a brand new phenomenon, eh? Hotter than normal? Global warming. Cooler than normal? Global warming. Drier than normal? Global warming. Wetter than normal? Global warming. Hurricane? Global warming. Tsunami? Global warming. Red Sox win the Series? Global warming.

What did people blame these things on a century ago?
