Global Warming on Free Republic

Warmer ocean temperatures appear to be fueling more intense hurricanes at the expense of the overall number of storms, says a new study published today in Nature Climate Change.
Over the past decade, studies have analyzed ad nauseam how warmer temperatures might be changing the annual number of hurricanes, or the maximum intensity.
But in practice, the connection between hurricanes and climate change has been a hard nut to crack because of an equally simple caveat — we just don’t have enough years of good historical data to predict how hurricanes intensity or frequency might change in our warming future.
So hurricane researchers at Florida State University have turned the conversation on its head. Instead of examining how either the number of hurricanes is changing, or how the intensity is changing, they investigated how the relationship between frequency and intensity might be altered by warmer ocean temperatures.

So, I did check. (Didn’t know before)
There IS a dedicated Nature Climate Change site, off shoot from Nature dot com.
The used-to-be prestigious journal. (Sigh!) Seems we have tons of these ‘used-to-be prestigious’ blah blah blah nowadays.
For some reason these GW idiot don’t think we have the internet and we can actually plot the data.
I think global warming must have fried these peoples brain.
Hey, I am getting so tired of the worn out cries of alarm about Global Warming, I almost am ready to pay the tax so the leisure class at the top would STFU!
Step 1) Observe weather
Step 2) Publish step 1 observations as global warming predictions.
Good pic of George Stephanpolis
The one I most hated to see go over to the dark side was National Geographic. A once outstanding publication, now all global warming, all the time.
Global Warming is a religion, not science.
How about a little separation of church and state
Your posted picture of here Gore (my title for Goebbels) is the perfect reply every time with these people!
That’s about all there needs to be said.
This is such rubbish.
They just can’t stop themselves... LOL
Or more but weaker, or shifted to a different season, or more, or fewer, or whatever this years hurricane census turns out to be. The one thing you can count on (even if it's exactly the same as the long term average): Global Warming's Fault!

Global Warming May Spawn More Southeast US Tornadoes
Just one question:
Since the Earth has been cooling for 18 years and 5 months, how is global warming “fueling” anything?
They’re only saying that NOW because there have been so few hurricanes the last few years. Funny how just a few years ago when there more hurricanes, the Warmists were telling us that there would be MORE hurricanes and BIGGER ones:
But that didn’t happen of course, and so global warmist history has to be revised once again to fit the facts at hand: oh, yeah, global warming causes fewer hurricanes but bigger ones. Though of course this latter claim is hard to verify since we’ve had so few hurricanes at all for the last few years.

(BTW, there’s nothing scientific at all about any of the Warmist nonsense, unless you want to count the science of propaganda, that is.)
Knock on wood - it's been a while again - here's hoping we don't have any more massive cleanups pending for a few more years.

Well, warmer waters do equal more powerful hurricanes. It’s the worm water that fuels them and the warmer the water, the more fuel available. Hurricanes need water temperatures of 80 degrees Fahrenheit to spawn.
But this has been known for DECADES. It’s nothing new and it’s not because of global warming. It’s just part of the mechanism that spawns hurricanes.
And......
Yes, more powerful hurricanes can result in fewer hurricanes...
because....
as the powerful hurricanes pass over the ocean waters, it churns up the water, often bringing cooler water to the top thus cutting off, or drastically reducing, the supply of hurricane fuel.
Nothing new under the sun here either.
LOL! What a load of BULL! I don;’t think they know, or care how utterly pathetic they sound.
More hurricanes, the sky is falling!
Oh wait, there’s been less?
Less hurricanes, but they’re stronger!
Yeah, people will buy that one, right?
