A warmer world makes for nastier hurricanes. Scientists say they are wetter, possess more energy and intensify faster.
Their storm surges are more destructive because climate change has already made the seas rise. And lately, the storms seem to be stalling more often and thus dumping more rain.
Study after study shows that climate change in general makes hurricanes worse. But determining the role of global warming in a specific storm such as Hurricane Florence or Typhoon Mangkhut is not so simple at least not without detailed statistical and computer analyses.
The Associated Press consulted with 17 meteorologists and scientists who study climate change, hurricanes or both. A few experts remain cautious about attributing global warming to a single event, but most of the scientists clearly see the hand of humans in Florence.
Global warming didnt cause Florence, they say. But it makes the system a bigger danger.

Not this tropical depression . It was a fizzler. And I am tired of local weather news. Let’s get back to hillary crimes.

Really? The Galveston hurricane in 1906 killed over 6,000 people. There were only 36% of hurricanes in the last 50 years than in the 50 years before that. So there are fewer hurricanes now than before the advent of the automobile and air travel.

Let’s use Thorium energy and once and for all shut up the climate change hoaxters.
Clean, very safe, very cheap, extremely abundant, and will not produce weapons grade plutonium.
Sorry NeoCons.

Most scientists who study the subject agree the world was (much) hotter 1000 years ago.
I guess we can thank our ancestors from a millennium ago for reducing the use of petroleum products and forming world-wide coalitions to promote renewable fuels which reduced global warming up until now.
Of course, we screwed it all up.

They used a computer model to come up with that. The same computer which estimated the nearly 3,000 dead in P.R. after Maria, and the same model they use for global warming studies. It's also the same computer model they used to do polling and predictions for the 2016 presidential election. All complete nonsense.

Tree ring research on long lived trees has been done at the University of Arizona since the Thirties.
Some tree specimens are three thousand year old. The analyses indicates varying situations with a few hundred years of warming around the year 1,000. Google it and enjoy info and pictures.
