Tropical Cyclone Freddy

[ok doser]

I've been tracking this for 5 weeks now, I first noticed it near northwestern Australia/Bali back at the end of January. It stayed together all the way across the Indian Ocean and has been for a little while now in what they call cyclone alley between Mozambique and Madagascar.

That's roughly the distance between Miami and Anchorage.

I post it here for consideration because I know that most of you probably have never heard of it. As Americans our news tends to be very insular.

I have been watching it on tropical tidbits. I have relatives in the Philippines and keep an eye on the storms/earthquakes.

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) of Zimbabwe has announced that severe Tropical Storm Freddy upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Freddy on Saturday afternoon.

From the BBC, the French have officially declared Freddy over

And looking at the Doppler this morning this caught my eye. That's a really weird system for the North Atlantic.

I read that climate change creating warmer waters help cyclones last longer.

According to the "great scientist" Al Gore... we are "boiling the oceans".

Don't believe the hype.

Do believe the hype.

They still seem to be arguing about climate change!
Even though it seems to be here.

The climate has always changed. Don't believe the hype!

The argument is NOT that the climate changes. The argument is that man-made causes are destroying the planet. That is nonsense.

Well living in California I have seen quite a few changes. They have what is called a fire season that has burned away acres of land. Now this year a lot of rain bring a lot landslides and several feet of snow burying houses.

Well living in California I have seen quite a few changes.

So what? The climate changes due to many, many factors... like changes in the sun's output.

They have what is called a fire season that has burned away acres of land.

That is nothing new.

Now this year a lot of rain bring a lot landslides and several feet of snow burying houses.

Again, so what? Things change. There has always been unusual local weather from time to time.

They have what is called a fire season that has burned away acres of land.

Because they don't manage their forests properly. They're so interested in conserving the forests that they don't burn them every so often to clear out dead and dry growth.

They also don't have the proper water infrastructure to make the area green.

Now this year a lot of rain bring a lot landslides and several feet of snow burying houses.

As RD said, so what?

That's how California was when I lived there, too, in the 80's

That's what he was talking about...man-caused global warming. Haven't you seen all that stuff we've been doing to the sun?

Oh boy. Here we go again.
