It’s Not Your Imagination: Hurricanes Getting Stronger

Don’t worry! Our next VP, Sarah Palin, says that Global Warming is not caused by Human activity, if it is happening at all! What more assurance do you need?

How can a study that goes back to the acknowledged low period of a known cycle that has nothing to do with warming and compares that the the high period of a known cycle tell us anything? To know anything you have to go backthrough a series of cycles and compare evidence.

GIVE ME A BREAK…. After Katrina they said that Glabal Warming caused bigger and stronger hurricanes. Then there was a lull in storms and several scientist released reports saying that Global Warming actually caused smaller and less intense hurricanes. And now that we have a couple hurricanes, this is again proof of Global Warming. The ONLY thing that any of this proves is that scientists are IDIOTS…

I knew it was just a matter of time. The global warming nuts first declared we’d have a million hurricanes a year. When that didn’t pan out, global warming was to blame for the lack of hurricanes.
Now, global warming is affecting the severity of hurricanes and we’re still going to have a million hurricanes a year but not anytime soon.

I am sure that this revalation has nothing to do with research dollars? This could not be a natural cycle or anything like increased sun activity, it has to be global warming because the “scientist” said so and Al Gore said it was so. The sky is truly falling.

Allegations of scientists wanting to get rich for being alarmists are ridiculous. Does anyone really believe that many thousands of scientists worldwide want to defend an “untruth” simply for money? Who is in charge of this conspiracy? Do they have a leader? Think about it, it makes no sense whatsoever. It’s an absurd conspiracy theory.

Maier’s Law
If the facts don’t conform to the theory, they must be disposed of.
Corollaries:
1) The bigger the theory, the better.
2) The experiment may be considered a success if no more than 50% of the observed measurements must be discarded to obtain a correspondence with the theory.

But I know of NO controversy among serious scientists now. Is there a single climate expert that discounts man-made global warming, especially after the Vostok Ice Core results show that there’s no cycle, that CO2 is 1/3 higher today than at any time in the last 420,000 years?

I can’t believe this crap… if any of you had half a brain, you would remember that they CLAIMED that there was an INCREASE in storms because global warming… this article just DEBUNK that claim… NOW they are saying its “stronger”… from 13 to 17… so 4 more that are stronger and I highly suspect that their number “4″ was manipulated and pulled from the netherworld of make-believe… what ever happened having EVIDENCE instead of anecdotal crap without any basis….

This is the biggest bunch of none sense that I have ever read. Global warming must be heating their brains. Or more likely goal oriented science that needs more funding for their religion. Just wait. Al Gore will make another CGI enhanced movie about hurricanes being strengthened to fund his new business venture. So, you global warming aspostles, how do you explain the past 2 years when we had dramtically LOW number of hurricanes? After 2005, every “scientist” was proclaiming record numbers of powerful hurricanes for 2006 and again for 2007 because of Pope Al Gore’s Global Warming. Where are they now? Well here is one. “Prof” Ivorytower of Hardvard who is a “global warming expert”. His explanation for the low volumn of hurricanes those seasons? “Not only does global warming theory predict more storms, more droughts, more floods, it also predicts more normal weather as well. This is what makes global warming theory so powerful…it can explain anything” So let me see. It isn’t testable using the scientific method. And, it may or may not change things like hurricane frequency. So we can use it to explain everything. I don’t call that science. I call that a scam. Now that a cat 2 hurricane has struct the US these zealots come crawling out from their global warmed rock to prophesize. Why? Funding. NOT because of real science. A high schooler can plug numbers into a computer and generate the results THEY want.

It truly amazes and disgusts me how arrogant and full of denial many are, desperately looking for ANY ground to stand on so we DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE, keep on being the polluting pigs we are, while our grandchildren’s tissues accumulate pesticides (and cancers/allergies rise), species die out at an alarming rate, and our entire planet becomes one big, overheated cat box. We deserve what is coming to us, the shame of it is we killed a beautiful world.

I’m sure a billion watts of microwave energy beamed from space has nothing to do with it.
Until the military/industrial complex stops playing god, global warming is just a convenient smokescreen for criminal activity!

I bet if a hurricane hit New York like in that movie you’d all be singing a different tune. But yeah this is the cyclone season, when a cyclones/hurricanes start to happen at time of year when they are not supposed to happen, then we should start to be at least a little worried. If it is indeed happening at all, man made or just natural, I mean seriously if we are heading into another ice age we’re pretty much screwed weather we caused it or not.

No, no, no. The globe is now cooling. Gustav would not have been a wimpy little cat 2 if globe warming was the real deal. If Katrina was evidence of globe warmings, Gustav is evidence of cooling. case closed.
The globe warming alarmists are seeking nothing but a power grab for money and power, more control over peoples’ lives. If they just wanted to stop c02 emissions, they could mandate less by law. Instead they want to tax tax and tax some more. I’ll bet in 10-20 years the media and scientific community will have lost all credibility on this and every other issue. That’s what you get for putting politics ahead of real science.

It is not just hurricanes – major flood and major droughts are slamming our country and the world. ………

Actually more than one true climatologist argues against global warming. The “father of climatology” actually puts it quite a bit more strongly (he says the alarmists make him throw up). A renowned professor that taught many of todays scientists and was famous for his sea level study bitterly opposed the IPCC consensus (he passed away 2 years ago so he did not see last winters predictions come true). Unfortunately, most of the scientists in the climate field that disagree are quite old, many retired and have little say in this “consensus”.
Too bad too, as they could use the experience.

Nothing new. I am old enough to remember seeing houses floating in the susquehana river near Harrisburg, PA.
Just because the real bad storms took a 20 or 30 year vacation does not mean that they were gone forever.

Global Warming…makes for a great debate doesn’t it? Granted it can’t be denied that there is climate change in many parts of the world…but how much is mankind actually responsible for and can we stop the ineviable? Or is this just another one Mother Earth’s changing cycles that science has proven time and time again to be normal. The Earth has gone through quite a few global warming and cooling periods and may have caused several mass extinctions in the process. I’ve even heard about how there was no polar ice caps during the age of the dinosaurs (I want to say the Mesozoic period–but I may be wrong)and that the Earth was much more Tropical during that time. I don’t discredit science–but the alarmists also need to tone it down a little as well. Who would have guessed that 65 million years ago that an Asteriod would end life as the dinosaurs knew it and make way for mammals to evolve and prosper (thus the reason we don’t have to constantly worry if T-Rex is hungry tonight and wants a human midnight snack. 15 years ago anyone who claimed a large rock from outer space ended the reign of the dinosaurs was called a crackpot, and who knows maybe we are warming a little faster than normal because of our activities, but that question won’t be truely answered until later on in time when scientists can look back on today’s climate and compare it with their current climate models. But that is neither here nor there since I’m still waiting on the “Big One” (Earthquake) that’s been overdue for the last 30 years to turn Los Angeles and most of Southern California an island.

my two cents
Are you aware that LA had smog before the invention of the IC engine? That is why CARB had increased restrictions on NOx and less on HC and CO tacked to the 1975 Clean Air Act and was granted a seperate set of specs. Now all 50 states use CAL spec even though the other 49 do not have the same NOx problems.

If this information is true, then I believe within the next 10 years we will start seeing a mass exodus of people moving away from the Caribbean, as well as the coast of Mexico. However I feel that Americans will continue to rebuild after every hurricane, and that we will never learn not to build in an area that is in yearly danger of hurricanes.

Allegations of scientists wanting to get rich for being alarmists are ridiculous. Does anyone really believe that many thousands of scientists worldwide want to defend an “untruth” simply for money? Who is in charge of this conspiracy? Do they have a leader? Think about it, it makes no sense whatsoever. It’s an absurd conspiracy theory.

Considering all the “scientists”, if they can even be CALLED scientists, who are now jumping ship and ABANDONING the global warming theory just at the time the price of gas soars, I would think the “scientists” ARE in it for the money.
If the global warming theory was sound, there wouldn’t be ONE scientists abandoning ship, whether the theory is politically unpopular or not.
It seems to me MOST of the other scientists never really believed the global warming theory in the first place and were paid by Al Gore to be alarmists.
Plantain, you DO know that Al Gore IS in it for the money!
