![]() CONCLUSIONS. To summarize, claims of linkages between global warming and hurricane impacts are premature for three reasons. First, no connection has been established between greenhouse gas emissions and the observed behavior of hurricanes (Houghton et al. 2001; Walsh 2004). Emanuel (2005) is suggestive of such a connection, but is by no means definitive. In the future, such a connection may be established [e.g., in the case of the observations of Emanuel (2005) or the projections of Knutson and Tuleya (2004)] or made in the context of other metrics of tropical cyclone intensity and duration that remain to be closely examined. Second, the peer-reviewed literature reflects that a scientific consensus exists that any future changes in hurricane intensities will likely be small in the context of observed variability (Knutson and Tuleya 2004; Henderson-Sellers et al. 1998), while the scientific problem of tropical cyclogenesis is so far from being solved that little can be said about possible changes in frequency. And third, under the assumptions of the IPCC, expected future damages to society of its projected changes in the behavior of hurricanes are dwarfed by the influence of its own projections of growing wealth and population (Pielke et al. 2000). While future research or experience may yet overturn these conclusions, the state of the peer-reviewed knowledge today is such that there are good reasons to expect that any conclusive connection between global warming and hurricanes or their impacts will not be made in the near term. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea...etalBAMS05.pdf If what they claim? or start to let loose to the public is true you will see a lot of strange happenings with the weather. I don't know how it will effect ocean currents and calm sailing seasons. FL just got hit again with deadly tornadoes last night and we are expecting more tonight. I lucked out and it hit north of us. The tornadoes that hit last night are uncommon to our state we normally get hit with F1 but we got hit with EF3 ,winds over 150mph. Bush is pushing to stop using fossil fuels but I don't think big business aka oil companies and automotive will jump to build cars that address fossil fuel issues fast enough. a few electric cars are on the roads now but they only have a short battery life. -- NH_/)_ www.sailirc.net |

No the problem is YOU talking out of your ass and changing the weather of this group. Of course, there are always people who deny the truth even when it's looking them in the face. Great self-recognition skills you have Jonathan. Told many good lies to innocent folk's ISP's lately? |
