The people in Boulder Colorado" You mean the flooding? Wait a minute now. Global warming means less water not more. The rivers are supposed to become just trickles is what I read. 98% of scientists? Doesn't mean a thing. 98 percent of the scientists and doctors didn't believe childbirth deaths were caused by lack of sanitation. It took one doctor, not the majority to prove it. |

No, global warming has predicted more severe storms and changes where they will occur. Some will see crippling droughts; others, catastrophic flooding. Category 5 hurricanes will become more common. So will blizzards. And that was 170 years ago. Science has come a long way. You know the hypothesis/theory/observation/testing/validation or refutation kinda thing. |

It doesn't matter that it happened 170 years ago.

Uh, read up on Sandy and why it ran up the Atlantic coast and then took an unexpected westward turn. Global warming doesn't necessarily mean MORE hurricanes, it means more severe ones. But you've never let facts get in the way. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/us-british-study-ties-hurricane-sandy-global-warming-article-1.1447332 http://www.climatecentral.org/news/how-global-warming-made-hurricane-sandy-worse-15190 http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/natural-disasters/global-warming-cause-hurricane-sandy.htm "Can we say that global warming is the cause for extreme weather, and Sandy in particular? It's hard to argue a direct causal relationship, when extreme weather events have been around forever. After all, hurricanes, winter storms and tsunamis aren't 21st-century inventions. But there's a difference between saying that Hurricane Sandy was caused by climate change and saying that climate change is causing weather to swing in extreme ways and create storms with more impact. There's a growing consensus among climate scientists that global warming is creating variables that make storms (and other weather occurrences) more extreme." And scientific inquiry has evolved light years in the past 170. Only a fool dismisses something without adequate scrutiny. Edited by drivera462, Oct 17 2013, 02:46 PM.

Consensus is not proof and Sandy doesn't even make the top ten. Worst was Galveston in 1900 in the U. S. But don't let facts get in your way. http://science.time.com/2013/09/09/a-silent-hurricane-season-ignites-a-debate-over-global-warming/ Edited by campy, Oct 17 2013, 04:27 PM.

I am not sure where you got your information that Sandy wasn't in the top ten. I couldn't find that in the article that you linked. Did I overlook it?

Yes, I know the topic, Campy, but this is your statement:
I offered a link that said your comment was wrong. Since I couldn't find your assertion in the link you provided, I assume it was one of your own personal pronouncements and chose to see if there were any facts to back it up. |

Nope. Sandy didn't even make it to the top ten in the world's worst tornadoes. Not my personal comments. If you took the time to look it up you would have seen it as well. |

I suspect in terms of damage it's right up there. |

But it's not in the top ten FuzzyO.. The comment was that the tornadoes are less frequent but worse than before due to global warming. That's the point I am challenging. Here's the comment along with the insult.

OMG, I did take the time to look it up and I posted the link that disputed your comment. Did you not read my link?
There you go again, changing horses in mid-stream on me. Are we speaking if US hurricanes or world hurricanes. Either way, you are wrong because Galveston wasn't the world's worst hurricane, and of course Sandy wasn't in the top ten of tornadoes because Sandy was a hurricane not a tornado. And, I notice that you still can't find a link to support either of your theories, Sandy or Galveston. |
