Economic Impact Of Hurricanes

Randy and the gang of deniers

Randy has repeatedly said that the world has been warming since the last ice age. My position has not changed, has yours? Claiming hurricanes are caused by human emissions cannot be supported.

Sorry in your old age you've lost your grip on the English language or is it because you just like to distort what others have said to serve your own misguided agenda? No one has claimed that hurricanes are caused by human emissions (but as an old retired f&rt you have the time to search for such a remark that doesn't exist).

That remark is way far away from acknowledging that human behavior has an impact on the climate.

Can you grasp the distinction? It ain't a very subtle one.

Do you read much? Understand what you read?

No, global warming did not cause these hurricanes. But climate experts say with deep credibility that global warming makes such storms bigger, stronger and quicker to intensify.

Let's not dance around the issue: Hurricane Harvey was a direct consequence of global warming, which in turn is a direct consequence of human activities.

“Global warming is tangibly increasing hurricane risks around the world,” said Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “The science is pretty confident about that.”

"Never Let a crisis go to waste" ..... these disasters give more central control to tptb. Disasters open the door to the "Agencies". The disasters speed up the destruction of intended targets and speed the ascension of socially engineered response. Hegelian dialectic and hurricanes go together for banksta's.

Harvey, the Storm That Humans Helped Cause

Global warming is causing more extreme storms

Extreme Storms and Floods Concretely Linked to Climate Change?

The recent research is among the earliest that claim to present observable scientific evidence for a human role in altering these natural phenomena, though climate models and observations have long suggested such a link exists in a warming world.

If hurricanes are caused by human activity, just wait until the believers are told to face east and blow...

Pucker up Pete, and give it your best...

Why, for example, were U.S. hurricane strikes above average for almost every decade between 1870 and 1950 before declining in the 1950s through 2000? If hurricane frequency can suddenly be linked directly to climate change in 2017, shouldn't it have produced similarly alarming hurricanes in the 80's, 90's and 2000's? If we're not mistaken, CO2 output has pretty much consistently risen since man first started building fires.

Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airlines, who rode out Irma on his private island in the British Virgin Islands and cited the hurricanes as evidence of human-caused global warming.

“Man-made climate change is contributing to increasingly strong hurricanes causing unprecedented damage,” Mr. Branson said in a Friday statement.

“With Irma ranked 7th, and Harvey ranked 18th, it’s going to be tough for climate alarmists to try connecting these two storms to being driven by CO2/global warming,” Mr. Watts said in a post. “But they’ll do it anyway.”

With Hurricane Irma following so soon after the devastating impacts of Hurricane Harvey, much of the media has continued to seek input from scientists on the potential role of climate change.

You can read Carbon Brief’s roundup of the reaction after Harvey for more details on the science of climate change and Atlantic hurricanes. But, as three climate specialists – including Prof Michael Mann, distinguished professor of atmospheric science at Pennsylvania State University – summarise in the Washington Post: “the strongest hurricanes have gotten stronger because of global warming”. This is, ultimately, a result of global greenhouse gas emissions, they note:

“Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean waters, and the oceans are warming because of the human-caused buildup of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere.”

So clearly you don't grasp the English language either. No one has claimed human activity "caused" the hurricanes but did contribute to their severity.

Pucker up yourself dude--are you a native English speaker? The language appears to cause both you and Randy problems.
