Would someone please help me understand what it is we've received in exchange for all the billions of taxpayer dollars we've sunk into NASA to keep the Trekkies and Tech Heads entertained for the last 20 years.

Global Warming to Fuel More Severe Tornadoes and Thunderstorms

Well, the Hurricane angle didn't pan out, so...

Nah, can't be....

Hasn’t NASA already been proven to be full of brown smelly stuff on this subject?

[Always Right]

You know that float thousands of these catastrophic predictions out there in the hopes that one will stick. Every possible change in any weather event has been predicted so that no matter what happens they can be shown to be ‘right’. So what if they miss on the other 99%, they only need to get one ‘right’ and the media will headline it.

[edcoil]

Drudge also headline that less then half of scientist believe in GW. The vast majority understand GW is a religion and a modern day scam on everyone.

Ignoring the self-answering part of the request, the purpose of NASA is to keep the USA pre-eminent in space. The USA is pre-eminent in space. QED

I’ve said it before in jest, but now I think there might be a grain of truth in it: NASA’s James Hansen is looking for a cushy retirement on the board of one of Al Gore’s “Carbon Credit” companies.

• NASA scientists said today.

  The report was published 17 Aug. That is hardly 'today.' They teach that 'today' thing in journalism school.

Sorry, this does not fit into MY theory of Global Weather Balance. My theory holds that weather on the Earth will fluctuate betweening warmer and cooler temps for any number of years, and that over long times (hundreds of years) the temperature will vary only slightly.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

All this money to conclude that it gets hot in the summer.

[navysealdad]

Seems NASA has too many personnel drinking alcohol wearing a wig and adult diapers and carrying a roll of duct tape.....

[Rb ver. 2.0]

And next we’ll hear it’s going to be cold this winter.

[wbill]

There was an article in my paper just yesterday that stated 2006 edged out 1998 as the hottest year on record. GW is a great example of the big lie. If you repeat it often enough, everyone will believe.

I discussed the "revised" NASA data with a die hard democrat the other day. She wouldn't believe that NASA updated their data. Furthermore, she stated that "IF" NASA updated their data, it was because Bush told them to.

George Bush, evil overlord. BDS is real.

Climate models have previously shown that Earth will see more heavy rainstorms as the atmosphere warms, but a new climate model developed by NASA researchers is the first to show the difference in strength between storms that occur over land

Climate Models.....random number generators would be more accurate.

Global Warming to Fuel More Severe Tornadoes and Thunderstorms

No, it won't. The temperature rise has been in the higher rather than lower latitudes and in nighttime rather than daytime temperatures. The severity of a thunderstorm depends to a large degree on the temperature difference between cold and warm air masses. If the more northerly colder, drier air masses are progressively less cold, then the difference between them and the more southerly warmer, humid air masses is less pronounced, meaning a reduced chance for violent thnuderstorms and tornados.

[Red Badger]

The models don't directly simulate thunderstorms and lightning, but look for conditions that are ripe for severe storms to form.

So, we made it all up.........algore can thank us later.......

The title should be:

Threat of Global Warming to fuel more coverage of tornadoes and thunderstorms.

[Tarpon]

Since we now know everything causes globull warming, today, China says one child limit, male only, to help globull warming — Hey I have a thought ...

[Sgt_Schultze]

I'm still waiting for the approximate date of Climatic Nirvana (TM) against which today's climate is compared. After all, if we are destroying the environment, surely there are definable characteristics of the optimal climate and when it occurred.
