OT--Hurricanes not a result of global warming

NOYB wrote: NOAA ATTRIBUTES RECENT INCREASE IN HURRICANE ACTIVITY TO NATURALLY OCCURRING MULTI-DECADAL CLIMATE VARIABILITY Nov. 29, 2005 - The nation is now wrapping up the 11th year of a new era of heightened Atlantic hurricane activity. This era has been unfolding in the Atlantic since 1995, and is expected to continue for the next decade or perhaps longer. NOAA attributes this increased activity to natural occurring cycles in tropical climate patterns near the equator. These cycles, called "the tropical multi-decadal signal," typically last several decades (20 to 30 years or even longer). As a result, the North Atlantic experiences alternating decades long (20 to 30 year periods or even longer) of above normal or below normal hurricane seasons. NOAA research shows that the tropical multi-decadal signal is causing the increased Atlantic hurricane activity since 1995, and is not related to greenhouse warming. http://www.magazine.noaa.gov/stories/mag184.htm NOAA studies atmospheric conditions, period. Kevin, I suggest that you give them a call and tell them to stop these projects immediately: http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/rsch/erie/ How dare they! You should start a campaign to get the "O" (Oceanic) out of their name. |

Apparently you don't even know what the "O" in "NOAA" stands for. Idiot. Damn it Fred. I just posted something similar.........but I was going back and forth while making dinner and it took me 10 minutes to post it! Great minds think alike. |

What do you say about the study that shows that for 65,000 years, the co2 levels in the air remained quite stable, then started an upward trend during the industrial age that correlates with warming trends? I saw a study that says we have the highest CO2 levels in 650,000 years. But as for the upward trend during the industrial age correlating with warming trends? Not a scientific conclusion. We don't have any accurate temperature data older than about 130 years. We don't know except in very indirect ways (tree rings come to mind) what the temperatures were 650,000 years ago. So we only have half the graph filled in. We know we have had some very cold spells (the so-called "mini-ice-age" when the Thames froze over and underwear was invented - just watch James Burke) and very warm times when crops grew in Greenland, within historical records. So far, all the data I've seen correlates better with sun-spot cycles than with atmospheric CO2 content but I haven't actually seen the new CO2 ice-core data. Why is it so hard to accept that these hurricanes are part of natural cycle? I realize the people whose grants rely on the study of climate change/global warming were probably ****ing themselves with glee when yet another tropical storm started up over the Atlantic today, but don't you feel just a little better knowing that New Orleans disappearing really isn't your fault or fault of your SUV driving neighbour? You've missed the point, although your comments are very rational. The point is that global warming (whether or not it exists and is due to mankind) is George Bush's fault! -- John H "It's not a *baby* kicking, beautiful bride, it's just a fetus!"
