Default The AP Blames The Strength Of Hurricane Gustav On "Global Warming"

The AP Blames The Strength Of Hurricane Gustav On "Global Warming"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/sci_gustav_warming

Quote:
The Global warming has probably made Hurricane Gustav a bit stronger and wetter, some top scientists said Sunday, but the specific connection between climate change and stronger hurricanes remains an issue of debate.

The Atlantic is seeing an increase in storms rated among the strongest. In the past four years, Hurricanes Gustav and Katrina, and six other storms have reached Category 4 or higher with sustained winds of at least 131 mph, according to research at Georgia Tech.

Six scientists contacted by The Associated Press on Sunday said this shows some effect of global warming, but they differ on the size of the effect.

"We are just seeing a lot more Categories 4 and 5 globally than we have ever seen," said Judith Curry, chairman of Earth and atmospheric sciences at Georgia Tech. "The years 2004, 2005 and 2007 are quite high. We're just seeing more and more."

Measurements of the energy pumped into the air from the warm waters — essentially fuel for hurricanes — has increased dramatically since the mid 1990s, mostly in the strongest of hurricanes, according to a soon-to-be published paper in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems by Kevin Trenberth, climate analysis chief at National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

Leave it to the Left to politicize EVERY natural disaster.

Well, ya see Toby, it works like this. We release CO2 into the air. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps the heat in Earth's atmosphere. Because there is more heat in the atmosphere, the water is hotter, especially near the equator. Because the water is hotter, hurricanes can form over it more, and there can be faster winds.

Leave it to the Right to ignore science. I can't find it, but their are sources saying that most of the strongest and worst hurricanes have been in the last decade or so, or even less.

Look in the mirror to see who is politicizing the occurrence.

I heard that this summer being cooler than last summer is the fault of global warming.

Really! Nothing natural about this. Clearly this is a sign that God hates the RNC.

You honestly believe scientists are all 'leftists' who created global warming for political purposes? It is a massive conspiracy?

Tell me, who benefits if global warming is (in)correct, and why?

The hurricane weakening does not disprove their theory in any way.
