That's how science works, not "I don't like the theory so it must be wrong." That's what creationists say. You seem to have me confused with someone else, someone using the name 'Lloyd Parker' who says "I don't like your questions so you must be wrong". |

Raw Data He Strongest tropical systems on record. Actually 1990's
and 1970 had the greatest numbers. 1950's had some of the highest numbers. Global warming will create more tropical cyclones throughout the world. It simply has not happened.

Are you aware of the past anything (before 1970)? There are many more questions but that will do for a start. Apparantly not. Is the water warmer than it was in the 1940s? Is the water warmer than it was in the 1720? How do you prove it is due to global warming ( which by the by, you seem to mean only how humans affect global warming) and not due to other factors such as climate cycles? But if there is no before 1970 then there are no cycles, right? Before 1970 did we have the same number and strength of Atlantic hurricanes?

Your attempt to frame a reply with nothing but childish questions (and assumptions of answers that would support your position) reflects on your lack of knowledge about AGW in general and hurricane issues specifically. However, The Sun is about as stable as it gets, with only a very tiny variable natu http://www.agu.org/revgeophys/reid00/node2.html The 11-year sunspot activity and a weaker signal within can go as far as contributing to a debatable global increase and decrease (the MWP and the LIA). Your question about awareness should be addressed to your bathroom mirror. Yes, the water is much warmer now - record highs (coral bleaching increases in the last three decades). It is warmer than the 1940s and the 1720s. There's no requirement to 'prove' it was due to AGW. There's no need to find the chicken or the the egg or 'prove' cause and effect. Recognize the chemistry and physics of AGW and factor a contribution. If you say it's not involved, the onus is on you to proviide natural and/or cyclic explanations. There's nothing in your response that does anything better than say 'nya nya can't make me.' Childish. Your focus on the the Atlantic Basis as the sole issue for hurricanes has already been dubunked. Give it up. |

Like the Catholic Church of Galileo's day, the Bush Administration makes decision based on faith, not on reality. So, lookin' at only part of the record is reality? Sport Pilot wants to look at (1) only Atlantic storms that (2) hit the US. The Science study looked at all storms since 1970. You tell me which is looking at "only part of the record." So? Apparently it has escaped your notice that I am not Sport Pilot. I'll have to explain, but before I do I have to ask you some questions so I can know what to explain. Are you aware the sun is a variable star? Not under the definition used by astronomers. And the effect this has on the climate of the earth? Yes. Apparently you are not. Are you? Apparently not! Apparently you are unaware that when the sun produces more radiation the earth recieves more radiation. Are you aware of plate tectonics? Are you aware of quantum mechanics? Both as relevant to the current warming. Are they? Can we assume that you think that the climate would be the same today if the continents didn't drift? And are you aware of approximately how long ago the continents arrived at roughly their current positions? And are you aware of why the current continental positions affect the climate differently than previous positions? Are you aware of what the universe was like 1 sec after the Big Bang? Again, just as relevant. Are they? Can we assume that you think that the climate would be the same today if the continents didn't drift? Are you aware of the past climate (before 1970)? Are you aware of the past anything (before 1970)? There are many more questions but that will do for a start. But we don't have (good enough) data for the whole record, or so the claim goes. How do you prove that Atlantic hurricanes are getting more numerous and stronger due to global warming? You can't. But you can prove they're getting stronger, and you know their fuel is warm water. I assume you can put 2 and 2 together. Is the water warmer than it was in the 1940s? Since the earth is, it follows that the water is too. Is the water warmer than it was in the 1720? See above. How do you prove it is due to global warming I'm sorry, I discounted Klingons or magic beans. ( which by the by, you seem to mean only how humans affect global warming) and not due to other factors such as climate cycles? But if there is no before 1970 then there are no cycles, right? What climate cycle would account for 120 years of warming at unprecedented rates? And why do you continue to deny the effects CO2 has? I haven't why do you continue to insist I have? Why do you continue to insist that is the ONLY variable in climate change? Do you refrain from explaining to politicians all the reasons for global warming? Why did we have a lull in Atlantic hurricane activity and strength from about 1970 to 1995, global cooling? We didn't. Next question. Before 1970 did we have the same number and strength of Atlantic hurricanes? After 1995 did we have the same number and strenght of Atlantic hurricanes? So you haven't looked at the article yet. When we have a lull in activity in about 20 years what are you going to say to the politicians? What happens if we have several El Nino years in a row during this cycle? How do you explain it to others, shrug your shoulders? What are you going to say to future politicians when the earth starts cooling again? Or do you just hope you'll be dead by then and won't have to explain it? That we averted a catastrophe? Even if we humans do nothing to avert it? |

I don't like your ignorance of the facts and ignorance of science being spouted as science. I am not refuting science, I am trying to make you understand that science didn't begin in 1970. |
