Study: Human activity not linked to Hurricanes… except in reverse
2008-05-20 16:57:00 What do you know… the study shows us the science does not link urricanes to man-made ‘global warming’. (Bolding is my own-Bit) WASHINGTON -(AP)- Global warming isn’t to blame for the recent jump in the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic, concludes a study by a prominent federal scientist whose position has shifted on the subject. Not only that, warmer temperatures will actually reduce the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic and those making landfall, research meteorologist Tom Knutson reported in a study released Sunday. In the past, Knutson has raised concerns about the effects of climate change on storms. His new paper has the potential to heat up a simmering debate among meteorologists about current and future effects of global warming in the Atlantic.   Yeah, if the story isn’t simply ignored. Why would they do that?

Global Warming Is Expected To Increase The Intensity Of Hurricanes & Tornad
2008-05-03 17:02:00 Global warming is expected to increase the intensity of forces of nature, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. It is determined not by individual weather events, such as heat waves or cold snaps or hurricanes, but by the global mean surface temperature. It is already increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic, increasing the risk of devastating impacts when a storm hits.Global warming is also leading to more dramatic swings in the weather in some areas. It is already affecting the world we know, endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is a huge risk, it is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface.Global warming is bad news for human life, including changes in agricultural yields, melting of glaciers and the extinction of certain species for ever.Global warming is an increase of average world temperatures as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect.

Hurricanes' fans are going to need something a little stronger to numb this pain.I mean, it was simple, really. Game 82. Win and you're in. And this wasn't exactly the San Jose Sharks we are talking here. It was the Florida freakin' Panthers, at home nonetheless.And yet the ‘Canes choked, putting smiles on the collective faces of a whole lot of teams. Among those, of course, were the Ottawa Senators, who lost to Boston but still managed to slip into The Dance through the side door.To be fair, Carolina dominated in every aspect of the game, except the most important one.Think Pittsburgh or Montreal wanted the Washington Capitals to sneak into that final spot? I can assure you they did not. Nice reward for finishing first in the conference, huh? A team that won nine of their past ten as the prize? No thanks.But the ‘Canes didn't do their part, saving the Penguins the hassle of having to p...
