There is not only the strength of hurricanes that are predicted. It is believed ( with evidence becoming clear), that due to ocean temperatures, the range of hurricane zones is going to reach more into sub tropical, and temperate zones. Hurricanes in New York, Seattle, Paris, London, Capetown possibly as a direct result of our actions in the past and future. The question remains. Not who's fault it is, but can we do anything without making it worse. Some of the Environmental 'solutions' applied by mankind have been absolutely disastrous. We need to be prepared to come up with new ideas that will help us adapt to natural cycles as they change. There is no doubt that we have a remarkable to sc...

We need to be prepared to come up with new ideas that will help us adapt to natural cycles as they change. There is no doubt that we have a remarkable to screw up natural systems as we know them, while having absolutely no idea how to fix them. I remember they couldn't keep a biosphere operational. pretending we can do the same thing with the planet is insane. we can't expect nature to change, we have to change.

The whole thing is rubish, why should I have to clarify it any more than that? But just for you:

First off, MOST hurricane experts do NOT agree that hurricanes are caused by global warming. Most agree that this is just another cycle, but articles like this like to feed people the BS that everyone agrees with them and that we aren't just going through another cycle like we did earlier in the 1900s.

Second, the increase in the number of storms is caused by a number of factors. Such as the fact that we now give names to sub-tropical storms. Or the fact that our detection methods are much better than they used to be. And, of course, the fact we are going through another high cycle in tropical...

Or the fact that our detection methods are much better than they used to be. And, of course, the fact we are going through another high cycle in tropical storm activity. Even with all that, last year was below normal and every month this year sees another downgrade in the expectations for this year's hurricane season.

The one thing they do get right is the number of people living on the coast. What they don't point out is that gives us the perception that there are more or larger hurricanes than there were during the last up cycle, but it is only perception and not fact. They like to tout that 100 year figure, but who here really believes our ability to detect hurricanes 100 years ago was anywhere near as good as it is today?

The silence associated with this important finding is deafening, and the results are consistent with other science that is being ignored in the current climate. One of Pielke’s co-authors, Chris Landsea, from the National Hurricane Center, has also found no trends in hurricane frequency or intensity when they strike the U.S. Sure, as is known to anyone who has studied hurricane data, there has been an increase in the number of strong storms in the past decade, but there were also a similar number of major hurricanes in the 1940s and 1950s, long before such activity could be attributed to global warming.
The lack of trend in twentieth century normalized [inflation and wealth-adjusted] hurrica...

The lack of trend in twentieth century normalized [inflation and wealth-adjusted] hurricane losses is consistent with what would expect to find given the lack of trends in hurricane frequency or intensity at landfall.”
Hysteria begets cost, especially when politics gets involved.

Now things seem to be on track for the development of La Nina, but it is likely to be a weak La Nina event rather than a strong one
However, the WMO highlighted other unusual climatic conditions in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean which could reinforce the disruption to local weather in the coming months
US experts have predicted that a total of about nine to 10 Atlantic hurricanes could form in the course of 2007 after a relative lull last year.

I think you need to read more carefully what you comment on, amgumen. I never blocked anyone at Clipmarks or suggested anyone to block somebody. I was just pointing out the kind of "commenting" that makes a blocking justified. If somebody drops a line saying only "rubbish" or "bullshit" under a clip, then it's very normal for the clipper to block him. On the other hand, n2sooners' next comment was satisfactory and more enlightening than saying just "rubbish".

Willhelm, it's hard to understand why and for what you want "substance" or proofs. If you meant the climate change, I repeatedly wrote my thoughts on this subject, in my comments; it mustn't be very hard to know for an old clipper to k...

Willhelm, it's hard to understand why and for what you want "substance" or proofs. If you meant the climate change, I repeatedly wrote my thoughts on this subject, in my comments; it mustn't be very hard to know for an old clipper to know what I think about the subject. Proofs? What proofs? I'm not a climate scientist coming up with a new and totally unknown thesis or theory. If you have not been living on some other planet since last decade, you'd know what has been going on here.

Ah, wait a minute, let me say that, "It's the damn lies of low IQ, ignorant, left wing climate alarmists", right?

If you need proofs, you have to look at what have been presented by climate experts and geologists since the early eighties. But I doubt you have such an intention. Your whole attitude is based upon rejecting and denial.

No contribution, no opinion, no criticism; just a "rubbish"

I think "rubbish" is an opinion and criticism in brief. This is an freehearted opinion, unlike those you are promoting with the clip.

Earth is running a fever

This is shrill alarmism and no contribution indeed

Climatologists and hurricane scientists now have little doubt

This is false and an attempt to convince us that this is all the scientists's opinion.

Most of the increase in ocean temperature that feeds more intense hurricanes is a result of human-induced global warming

Until the hypothesis of human-induced global warming is proven in terms of thermodynamics of th...

Until the hypothesis of human-induced global warming is proven in terms of thermodynamics of the land-ocean-atmosphere system, one cannot assert that the GW leads to an hurricane increase.
