global warming
 
I got this feeling with all this yap about global warming , the weather-aka
seas will become
very unstable. I keep watching and hearing about large chunks of ice
falling out of the sky.
we had one fall here in Tampa you may have seen it on the news. It smashed a
car. The piece of ice
was over 100lbs. The local news station confirmed that no planes were
flying over that location
at the time of the ice drop. What was funny the weather man could not
explain the ice drop of that size.

lol That piece of ice just keeps growing. They first said it weighed 80 pounds but they
had a picture of it laying on the hood of the car it hit. You can see it was like a 20lb block.
You can buy them most anywhere.
Duh! Somebody threw it off the top of a building. Do you listen to Art Bell at night, Nora?
Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do....

The hurricane expert who stood up to UN junk science
The Deniers -- Part III
Lawrence Solomon, Financial Post
Published: Friday, February 02, 2007
December 8, 2006

You're a respected scientist, one of the best in your field. So
respected, in fact, that when the United Nations decided to study the
relationship between hurricanes and global warming for the largest
scientific endeavour in its history -- its International Panel on
Climate Change -- it called upon you and your expertise.

You are Christopher Landsea of the Atlantic Oceanographic &
Meteorological Laboratory. You were a contributing author for the UN's
second International Panel on Climate Change in 1995, writing the
sections on observed changes in tropical cyclones around the world.
Then the IPCC called on you as a contributing author once more, for
its "Third Assessment Report" in 2001. And you were invited to
participate yet again, when the IPCC called on you to be an author in
the "Fourth Assessment Report." This report would specifically focus
on Atlantic hurricanes, your specialty, and be published by the IPCC
in 2007.


Then something went horribly wrong. Within days of this last
invitation, in October, 2004, you discovered that the IPCC's Kevin
Trenberth -- the very person who had invited you -- was participating
in a press conference. The title of the press conference perplexed
you: "Experts to warn global warming likely to continue spurring more
outbreaks of intense hurricane activity." This was some kind of
mistake, you were certain. You had not done any work that
substantiated this claim. Nobody had.

As perplexing, none of the participants in that press conference were
known for their hurricane expertise. In fact, to your knowledge, none
had performed any research at all on hurricane variability, the
subject of the press conference. Neither were they reporting on any
new work in the field. All previous and current research in the area
of hurricane variability, you knew, showed no reliable upward trend in
the frequency or intensity of hurricanes. Not in the Atlantic basin.
Not in any other basin.

To add to the utter incomprehensibility of the press conference, the
IPCC itself, in both 1995 and 2001, had found no global warming signal
in the hurricane record. And until your new work would come out, in
2007, the IPCC would not have a new analysis on which to base a change
of findings.

To stop the press conference, or at least stop any misunderstandings
that might come out of it, you contacted Dr. Trenberth prior to the
media event. You prepared a synopsis for him that brought him up to
date on the state of knowledge about hurricane formation. To your
amazement, he simply dismissed your concerns. The press conference
proceeded.

And what a press conference it was! Hurricanes had been all over the
news that summer. Global warming was the obvious culprit -- only a
fool or an oil-industry lobbyist, the press made clear, could ignore
the link between what seemed to be ever increasing hurricane activity
and ever increasing global warming. The press conference didn't
disappoint them. The climate change experts at hand all confirmed the
news that the public had been primed to hear: Global warming was
causing hurricanes. This judgement from the scientists made headlines
around the world, just as it was intended to do. What better way to
cast global warming as catastrophic than to make hurricanes its poster
child?

You wanted to right this outrageous wrong, this mockery that was made
of your scientific field. You wrote top IPCC officials, imploring:
"Where is the science, the refereed publications, that substantiate
these pronouncements? What studies are being alluded to that have
shown a connection between observed warming trends on the earth and
long-term trends in tropical cyclone activity? As far as I know, there
are none." But no one in the IPCC leadership showed the slightest
concern for the science. The IPCC's overriding preoccupation, it soon
sunk in, lay in capitalizing on the publicity opportunity that the
hurricane season presented.

You then asked the IPCC leadership for assurances that your work for
the IPCC's 2007 report would be true to science: "[Dr. Trenberth]
seems to have already come to the conclusion that global warming has
altered hurricane activity and has publicly stated so. This does not
reflect the consensus within the hurricane research community. ...
Thus I would like assurance that what will be included in the IPCC
report will reflect the best available information and the consensus
within the scientific community most expert on the specific topic."

The assurance didn't come. What did come was the realization that the
IPCC was corrupting science. This you could not be a party to. You
then resigned, in an open letter to the scientific community laying
out your reasons.

Next year, the IPCC will come out with its "Fourth Assessment Report,"
and for the first time in a decade, you will not be writing its
section on hurricanes. That task will be left to the successor that
Dr. Trenberth chose. As part of his responsibility, he will need to
explain why -- despite all expectations -- the 2006 hurricane year was
so unexpectedly light, and at the historical average for the past 150
years.

a largish snip

The trouble with global warming is nobody knows. And if somebody knew,
there's nothing they could do about it anyway. It's just a way to sell books,
magazines, movies, and television shows. There's so many really really dumb
people around like Nora who actually believe it when people say you global
warming's responsible for making big blocks of ice falling outta the sky.
When so many people are so dumb they can't figure out how stupid it is
to say global warming's making ice fall outta the sky then it's pretty pitiful.

I trust Dr. Landsea's opinion on Hurricanes more than some Yourapeein
pack of liars.


Dr. Landsea agrees that Global Warming is with us for the long haul.
His point has been that it is (or was, several years ago) premature to
blame increased hurricanes on global warming. His conclusion is
three-fold, that the science is only "suggestive" of a linkage, but
not definitive. Second, that the change in hurricane intensity will
be relatively small. And third, that the increased "dollar value" of
the hurricane damage is caused more by increased wealth and coastal
development than increased storm strength.


From his 2004 paper:

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.

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

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.

The problem is really much greater variability in weather, not just warmer
weather or a few more inches of rain. Of course, there are always people who
deny the truth even when it's looking them in the face.

I'm just tryiong to figure how to make more money off your fears.
like all the other global warming warriors.


You know more about hurricanes then the most honored hurricane
researcher in the Atlantic basin?


So, are you claiming that Dr. Landsea is denying global warming?-



No..I just posted his opinion that the global warming folks are using
hurricanes as the "global warming poster child."
It's a scare tactic, and the Hurricane expert says they are bald face
liar's. You should read the posting again.

I trust Dr. Landsea's opinion on Hurricanes more than some Yourapeein
pack of liars.

News of the Week
CLIMATE CHANGE:
It's Official: Humans Are Behind Most of Global Warming
Richard A. Kerr

The United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
officially declared early this week that "most of the observed warming
over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in
greenhouse gas concentrations." The panel was vaguer than ever,
though, about how bad things could get by the end of the century. At a
minimum, the world will warm more than twice as much in the coming
century as it did in the past one, the panel concluded, but it could
warm 10 times as much.

Bet you nor the quack don't live in Florida!

a largish snip

The trouble with global warming is nobody knows. And if somebody knew,
there's nothing they could do about it anyway. It's just a way to sell books,
magazines, movies, and television shows. There's so many really really dumb
people around like Nora who actually believe it when people say you global
warming's responsible for making big blocks of ice falling outta the sky.
When so many people are so dumb they can't figure out how stupid it is
to say global warming's making ice fall outta the sky then it's pretty pitiful.

Katrina's real name

http://www.boston.com/news/weather/a...l_name?mode=PF

By Ross Gelbspan | August 30, 2005

THE HURRICANE that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by
the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming.

When the year began with a two-foot snowfall in Los Angeles, the cause
was global warming.

When 124-mile-an-hour winds shut down nuclear plants in Scandinavia
and cut power to hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland and the
United Kingdom, the driver was global warming.

When a severe drought in the Midwest dropped water levels in the
Missouri River to their lowest on record earlier this summer, the
reason was global warming.

In July, when the worst drought on record triggered wildfires in Spain
and Portugal and left water levels in France at their lowest in 30
years, the explanation was global warming.

When a lethal heat wave in Arizona kept temperatures above 110 degrees
and killed more than 20 people in one week, the culprit was global
warming.

And when the Indian city of Bombay (Mumbai) received 37 inches of rain
in one day -- killing 1,000 people and disrupting the lives of 20
million others -- the villain was global warming.

As the atmosphere warms, it generates longer droughts, more-intense
downpours, more-frequent heat waves, and more-severe storms.

Although Katrina began as a relatively small hurricane that glanced
off south Florida, it was supercharged with extraordinary intensity by
the relatively blistering sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of
Mexico.

The consequences are as heartbreaking as they are terrifying.

Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of
Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent
millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue.

The reason is simple: To allow the climate to stabilize requires
humanity to cut its use of coal and oil by 70 percent. That, of
course, threatens the survival of one of the largest commercial
enterprises in history.

In 1995, public utility hearings in Minnesota found that the coal
industry had paid more than $1 million to four scientists who were
public dissenters on global warming. And ExxonMobil has spent more
than $13 million since 1998 on an anti-global warming public relations
and lobbying campaign.

In 2000, big oil and big coal scored their biggest electoral victory
yet when President George W. Bush was elected president -- and
subsequently took suggestions from the industry for his climate and
energy policies.

As the pace of climate change accelerates, many researchers fear we
have already entered a period of irreversible runaway climate change.

Against this background, the ignorance of the American public about
global warming stands out as an indictment of the US media.

When the US press has bothered to cover the subject of global warming,
it has focused almost exclusively on its political and diplomatic
aspects and not on what the warming is doing to our agriculture, water
supplies, plant and animal life, public health, and weather.

For years, the fossil fuel industry has lobbied the media to accord
the same weight to a handful of global warming skeptics that it
accords the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
-- more than 2,000 scientists from 100 countries reporting to the
United Nations.

Today, with the science having become even more robust -- and the
impacts as visible as the megastorm that covered much of the Gulf of
Mexico -- the press bears a share of the guilt for our self-induced
destruction with the oil and coal industries.

As a Bostonian, I am afraid that the coming winter will -- like last
winter -- be unusually short and devastatingly severe. At the
beginning of 2005, a deadly ice storm knocked out power to thousands
of people in New England and dropped a record-setting 42.2 inches of
snow on Boston.

The conventional name of the month was January. Its real name is
global warming.
