This morning's first completely made up statement by gator ? “Climate Change” Is A Hoax by Kurt Schlichter Original Article I hate science, evidently, because I’m woke to the manifest truth about what the leftist elite currently calls “climate change." It is the second most staggering fraud ever perpetrated upon the American people after the media’s promotion of the unstoppable candidacy of Beto (who is a furry). Like some suckers still do, I once believed that “science” was a rigorous process where you tested theories and revised those theories in response to objective evidence. But in today’s shabby practice, “science” is just a package of self-serving lies buttressing the transnational liberal elite’s preferred narrative. Our alleged betters hope that labeling their propaganda “science”will science-shame you into silence about what everyone knows is a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yet another greenie expedition to the Arctic to raise awareness of ‘global warming’ has been scuppered by unexpected large quantities of ice. This brings to a total of six the number of Ship of Fools expeditions where weather reality has made a mockery of climate theory. According to Maritime Bulletin: Arctic tours ship MS MALMO with 16 passengers on board got stuck in ice on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway and North Pole. The ship is on Arctic tour with Climate Change documentary film team, and tourists, concerned with Climate Change and melting Arctic ice. All 16 Climate Change warriors were evacuated by helicopter in challenging conditions, all are safe. 7 crew remains on board, waiting for Coast Guard ship assistance. The reporter, Erofey Schkvarkin clearly has a sense of humour. He adds: Something is very wrong with Arctic ice, instead of melting as ordered by UN/IPCC, it captured the ship with Climate Change Warriors. It appears the mainstream media has failed to get the memo. Here is a tweet from Reuters which appeared after the ship got stuck in ice. Longyearbyen 1908... No snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changes in Hurricanes | National Climate Assessment https://nca2014.globalchange.gov › report › our-changing-climate › chang... by J Walsh - Related articles The intensity, frequency, and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes, as well as the frequency of the strongest hurricanes, have all increased since the early 1980s. Quote While hurricanes are a natural part of our climate system, recent research suggests that there has been an increase in intense hurricane activity in the North Atlantic since the 1970s. In the future, there may not necessarily be more hurricanes, but there will likely be more intense hurricanes that carry higher wind speeds and more precipitation as a result of global warming. The impacts of this trend are likely to be exacerbated by sea level rise and a growing population along coastlines. https://www.ucsusa.org/global-warming/science-and-impacts/impacts/hurricanes-and-climate-change.html That's the union of concerned scientists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you assume their measurement instrumentation was sound back then, and they investigated all hurricanes (which is not a given considering the lack of satellites), and they consistently checked hurricane speed as well as today then you have some facts: -the longest duration of a category 5 was back in 1932. Of course this was not official weather unit monitoring. -Only in six seasons—1932, 1933, 1961, 2005, 2007 and 2017—has more than one Category 5 hurricane formed. -Only in 2005 have more than two Category 5 hurricanes formed, and only in 2007 and 2017 did more than one make landfall at Category 5 strength. -The years 2016 through 2019 are the longest sequence of consecutive years which all featured at least one Category 5 hurricane each. -Officially, the decade with the most Category 5 hurricanes is 2000–2009, with eight Category 5 hurricanes having occurred. -The previous decades with the most Category 5 hurricanes were the 1930s and 1960s, with six occurring between 1930 and 1939. Of course this was not official weather unit monitoring during the 30s. So, a legitimate argument can be made that they are increasing in intensity (partial points for you), but given the relatively short sampling record(reliably also!)

Since you seem pretty informed about this, has the destruction increased because of hurricanes or is that just a result of growing populations in hurricane areas? From a non-scientific viewpoint, just eye balling it, it seems the destructive power is massive now. But I get people are flocking to these areas and that might not be the smartest move because sooner or later they are going to get hit in the south east.

Saffir-Simpson wind scale (category 1-5) is pretty standard wind speed measures. More major hurricanes is more destructive wind force. The rest is us and our stuff being in the way.

Sure, and in some cases records are over 100 years though spotty at best. I don't care about conditions billions of years ago, I'm just trying to make sense of the data we have now. The standardized data we've collected over the last 60+ years shows that at the moment the cyclical number of hurricanes isn't overall changing much but that we're seeing a few more major hurricanes. It is entirely reasonable to argue hurricanes are increasing in intensity based on this data. I'm not saying what will happen in the future, only what's been happening. I'm not worried about attributing it to man's role in climate change, the planet has been in a warming trend, much like in the 1930's. The hurricane activity in the 1930's wasn't due to AGW, just overall warming. These days, regardless of the cause, we've been in a warming trend and the incidence of major hurricanes seems slightly upticked over the last 10-20 years while total number of hurricanes is not. Give it 10-20 more years to see if the trend holds but certainly I don't believe it's just going to keep going up,up,up like some who are uninformed. The balances of the planet will level things out. And while man's behavior and pollution affects the planet I still don't see enough convincing evidence that we will overwhelm the planet within a short time frame (100 to 200 years).

We in fact already know that the planet has changed temperatures many times in its history with no help or hinderance from man. This is utter nonsense science. It’s like seeing the first snowfall of the year and predicting an ice age. Oh wait....Spring showed up again, and again. Yes.....but apparently only after first having the big rock's temperature fluctuate for 4.5 billion years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always darkly amused by the irony of the global warming crowd's insistence that everything must stay as it always was, for ever and ever, and mankind is responsible for ensuring so, has far more in common with Christian creationism than it does modern science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
