First, to our Texas contingent, please be safe.
Second, as one can see, first there is no relationship between overall hurricane severity, frequency and ‘global warming’. America has gone 12 years without a hurricane hitting our shores. TWELVE YEARS! let’s see what the predictive genius Manbearpig has to say in 2005:
… the science is extremely clear now, that warmer oceans make the average hurricane stronger, not only makes the winds stronger, but dramatically increases the moisture from the oceans evaporating into the storm – thus magnifying its destructive power – makes the duration, as well as the intensity of the hurricane, stronger.
Last year we had a lot of hurricanes. Last year, Japan set an all-time record for typhoons: ten, the previous record was seven. Last year the science textbooks had to be re-written. They said, “It’s impossible to have a hurricane in the south Atlantic.” We had the first one last year, in Brazil. We had an all-time record last year for tornadoes in the United States, 1,717 – largely because hurricanes spawned tornadoes.
Fact of the matter is that total global tropical cyclone accumulated energy (ACE) was found to have fallen by half to the lowest level since 1977.
Either there is no ‘global warming’ or Algore and his socialist minions are full of shit, or both. I pick both.
Third, watch this be the most political meteorological event since Katrina.
Fourth, I do have a grudging respect for Algore, he did bilk his followers out of millions of dollars. Fools and their money, soon parted!
