Study confirms link between global warming and stronger storms

Thanks for this report. We need to take action and do all we can and a bit more. Flooding, major hurricanes, droughts...it will be endless.

One example would be the midwest floods this year,
a once in a hundred year event. But it was the 2nd such delude in a decade. Like I have said the deniers
won't admit global warming till a foot of rain lands on there house.

which one will destroy us first or maybe at the same time?[day after tomarrow all over again]

Hmm, did Al Gore do the study referred to in this post? I don't recall reading that here. Oh well, I guess some don't need a reason to keep posting garbage.

All this global warming is scary stuff.Mother Nature has had enough and we will feel her wrath!!! Somehow one way or another she is going to force us to change...its such a scary thought for me!

time to get out of florida. :-/

well even if global warming turns out to be false, shouldn't we want to keep the air we breathe and the land we live on clean?

just how i see it.

if we switch to wind power, we'll have plenty of energy!!

Katrina and Rita proved this just fine. We don't need people to keep telling us what we already know. We need a solution.

*shrug* Yeah? And?

People are still driving SUVs and buying watermelons in January.

Frimer seems confused.

If I smoke, oh, two CARTONS of cigs a day -- can a doctor predict the exact day I will devlope cancer?

What? You mean that a doctor can't predict the exact day (or even the exact YEAR) I will develope cancer smoking two entire cartons of cigs every single day?

So that must mean smoking two cartons of cigs a day must be prefectly healthly, right?

See how silly that sounds Frimer?

Can scientists predict the exact day (second and hour) that earth's climate will reach a tipping point based on the sheer tonnage of industrial pollutants being spewed into the atmosphere all over the world?

No?

So that must mean that those billions upon billions of tons of industrial emissions have absolutely no effect, right?

See? It doesn't make any sense to view the situation that way.

Waterworld.... We panic like the world doesn't have its own rhythm - what would it have been like to live in New Mexico thousands of years ago when it was an ocean?

Does anyone realize that if man were not on earth. All the animals and plants the PETA Freaks ( not the reasonalble and prudent minded ones, just the freaking finatics ) and the Tree Huggers ( again not the aforementioned ones shown in parentheses ) wish had been saved would have proliferated and damaged and destroyed as much or more than man has since then !

Earth recovered from that catastrophy.(whatever destroyed the dinosauers) Man survived and will inevitably make horrible destruction on earth, mostly of himself in the long run probably, but earth will bounce back in time.

Man may or may not last of his own doing. Could the dinosauers (without a natural catastrophy) possibly have eventually destroyed man and man may not have won out as superior to other species but for the reason of other global catastrophies which destroyed his greatest predators?

This great planet is of course A-ffected and E-ffected ( notice emphasis between the two? ) by man no doubt. It is not as subject to destruction by man as so many seem to think.

The earth will survive, Nuclear or whatever for millions of years possibly. Man may destroy himself and most or all life on earth. Possible, yes!, but not likely and if man does this, earth will adapt and recover over time as it has done in the past.

The smartest of scientist are aware of this and also aware of and laugh about the Gore Style multi-million dollar empire he has built with so much of his BS! For every truth he tells there are multitudes of proven extremely unlikely events he predicts, which will never come about as a result of mans influence, convieniently making him a multi-multi millionare quite a possibly a reasult of speaking ability ( rhetoric ) more so than brain-power!

Man again and his influence most likely only speeds up or slows down the process which helps or hurts mankind itself in general.

Even old Albert's ( you know! ? The super smart fellow that thousands and thousands of his theories are being proven each year by scientist due to such things as the Hubble Space Telescope and Mars Rover, Jupiter program satelites and such !) predictions acknowlege it in so many ways.

I think Albert was (then) smarter than Al Gore, also smarter even now AFTER his ( Eienstein's ) death. His thousands of theories are still being proven by the hundreds, beyond doubt, by todays scientists from spacecraft generated information being beamed back to earth.

Mr Gore has not one to be proven YET!!! Wonder when that will happen? What will be proven of his predictions are again, most likely, things which it is highly questionalbe by just as many prominent scientists as likely to happen anyway with Mr Gore, Global Warming Theory, mankinds influence, or not!!! Just later down the road so to speak, where it not for mans contamination of the planet. Women too ya think? Oh! Part of mankind. eh heh heh. More bait for flamers. :) Just thinking per my keyboard here. Lonesome and nothing else to do.

lovely dacy, i figured out instantly you are a kid! Flame away now on that bait! lol I am just a stupid older grandfather figure, old enough to be your daddy's daddy.

Yep, as in grandfather young lady! :) Hey! I actually believe that there is a God. The one Eienstein mentioned as possibly believable as the clockmaker, of the amazing wonder of this universe in which we live, that intricate and perfect clock of such grand design. Yep, Praise God? I do!

It has to link global warming to strong storms, because the global warming is part of the natural swing in climate.

Around the 1500's earth had a small ice age, climate is not static. It swings like a pendulum.

Forget it. Everyone who believe everything the media has to say are fools. Why should I though pearls amongst the swine?

Be green, love green, the same way the teenboppers loved the beatles. Make absolute fools of yourself for the green cause.

Then someday you will wake up, and realize that you have been had. But it will be too late, the green car you dream will never materialize.

You will be living in crowded cities, and riding mass transit. While people like algore, and t. boone, will be the richest men in the world.

Of course, algore will pay carbon credits for his large carbon foot print.

i'm not sure humans are the cause of global warming and it makes sense to me that we won't be the fixer either.

doesn't anyone realize the cycles that the earth goes through? warming? ice ages? they're gonna happen with or without us.

It's the sun and the solar cycles.

We should be taking care of our Earth, as we want to live in a beautiful and clean world, but Global Warming is not why we do this.

We do it because it is the right thing to do.

And maybe someday we can control the sun, but today.. we just get to wait and see what happens. Plan for the worst & hope for the best.

We make a difference of course. We should do what is right? Astounding Yes but opinions differ and that goal isn't accomplished. If we could do that MAN would be God.

Have we ever done so? Yes, occasionally.

Has the rest of the world done so? Hardly ever but for the attempts of a small minority. For the wrongs we have committed we have committed more rights that ANY other Nation on Earth! Quit Bashing our own Freaking Country why don't we? Just for sake of taking a break. Self criticizum is a good thing to a point. Then It isn't a good thing anymore for a people and Nation.
