Hillary Clinton's Climate Change B.S. on Hurricane Matthew

Campaigning with Al Gore in Florida, Hillary Clinton said this about hurricane Matthew:
"Hurricane Matthew was likely more destructive because of climate change. Right now the ocean is at or near record high temperatures, and that contributed to the torrential rainfall and the flash flooding that we saw in the Carolinas."
Hillary the lawyer, and I guess now, a climatologist, is simply wrong.  As Anthony Watts is reporting on his website "Watts Up With That", 30 peer reviewed scientific studies have have found no correlation to the frequency and intensity of hurricanes and global warming (see link below for the full list). Hillary's attempt to link Matthew to climate change is just a bunch of political B.S.
