Researchers have now discovered that
Hurricanes can be more intense even if the water is cooler. Most scientists have known that warmer ocean water intensifies hurricanes. But the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has been doing some digging and found that warmer water isn't always the primer.
But what is interesting is that they want to know how global warming may effect that. This is interesting because one; they have obviously concluded that man-made global warming is real, and two; that global warming as a whole is separate from the normal weather patterns.
It is great that they do this research and discover new things that they con contribute to the way the Earth's weather works. But to assume that man-made global warming is having an effect on current weather when the ties they find in the geological record show many variations of climate and effects of climate, simply don't add up.
The Earth has warmed and cooled over millions of years and they have yet to figure out why that happens. But it does happen. And whether or not we produce enough carbon and pollution to have a noticeable effect on the climate of the entire Earth, just doesn't seem possible. That doesn't mean I encourage the same old carbon bealching society, but let's not be so big-headed to think we are causing the warming and that we are powerful enough to stop it.
