How does he know? Prior to the 1950's, we didn't even name storms and because of the lack of sophisticated satelites, hurricane hunter aircraft, and recording bouys, we lacked the ability to track and measure storms until they made landfall and even then, the records and blogs were unreliable by today's standards.
They want us to live in caves.
Dubious. But there was a report from a German research center that indicated there has been increased solar activity over the years. Now that would make the Earth warm.
(exerpt)
Now climatologists say frenzied hurricane seasons will be a fact of life for the next 10 to 20 years, part of a lengthy cycle of stormy eras followed by calmer ones.
The engine driving these cycles is called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or AMO. Scientists say it has triggered drought in the western United States while spawning hurricanes in the Atlantic.
At a time when some are theorizing that global warming may be the reason for more intense hurricane seasons, climatologists say the AMO is the real culprit.
Thanks for the link. I have been looking for it.
I can be a volcano God Where dim virgins at?
I believe I see the Globaal warming porthole in full operation
The total is now 11. The point, as you know, is that the trend has been lower for decades and hasnt come close to WWII-era levels. And no one argues that global warming was an issue back then. Their argument simply does not hold water (no pun intended).
"There are a group of people in various parts of the world ... who simply don't want to accept human activities can change climate and are changing the climate. I'd liken them to the people who denied that smoking causes lung cancer."
So what? Then your country and the whole world can go by the Kyoto accords without the US holding your hand?
Commit economic suicide. Who's stopping ya?
Losers....
Gotta build 300 nuke plants, ponto!
So let us sign Kyoto protocol while China continues to dump it's waste in their rivers and streams!!
That will solve everything Mr. Brown teeth!!
Hurricanes are caused by all the jet fuel spewed into the atmosphere by scientists (and politicians) flying to environmental conferences.
Except they know exactly what they're doing. It reminds me of Kim Jong 'Mentally" Il's strategy of keeping the home folks emotionally stirred-up over a looming phony American invasion of NK. Global Warming pours millions into liberal fund-raising coffers and is a neat technique for stampeding the stupid into supporting very bad socialist legislation.
Pseudo science crap.
However, this brings up an interesting twist: Assume that for some strange reason, greenhouse gasses actually reduced hurricane strength. Would the same people be arguing that we should increase emissions to help save the gulf coast from hurricanes? |
