The idea of 'Climate Change' and 'Global Warming'

[Stripe]

Darwinists love it when the discussion is over who said what. They think it's evidence.

"Already, there is evidence that the winds of some storms may be changing. A study based on more than two decades of satellite altimeter data (measuring sea surface height) showed that hurricanes intensify significantly faster now than they did 25 years ago. Specifically, researchers found that storms attain Category 3 wind speeds nearly nine hours faster than they did in the 1980s. Another satellite-based study found that global wind speeds had increased by an average of 5 percent over the past two decades.

Warmer oceans mean more energy therein, and that means bigger (not necessarily more frequent) storms.

There is also evidence that extra water vapor in the atmosphere is making storms wetter.

That actually has one good effect. It means that there will be mores snow at the poles. And over Greenland and Antarctica, more snowpack means slower rise of oceans than would otherwise be.

...means slower rise of oceans than would otherwise be.

Darwinists have this innate sense that somehow a global water-based event is important. :think:

 

[The Barbarian]

As you suggest, the number of category 3 and higher storms has increased:

However,the number of storms has not increased. We're getting about the same number of storms. The warmer oceans just mean that they are stronger than in the past.

Barbarian refuses to answer simple questions:

How does a convection current form in rock? How does a convection current form when rock contracts as it heats up at pressures found in the mantle?

Show us that. Imaginative stories are not a substitute for evidence.

The thing is that is our future, there is no way around it, nobody is going to stop living the way they do or give their fast and furious $52,000 Mustang or $57,000 F150 Monster truck, and walk or bicycle to work. Just aint going to happen.........:luigi:

For the short term, I think you're right. Maybe not long-term.

Notice how consistent Barbarian is: When the issue of evidence of raised, he runs for the hills.
