I saw somebody on TV mention that last night, and he attributed it to an
increase of one degree in heat. He wondered what would happen if the
temperature increases 4 or 5 degrees?
My idea is that these hurricanes have something to do with more water in
the atmopsphere due to glaciers melting, due mainly to the sun heating up
over the last 100 years, and secondarily to smoking outdoors (I'm sure
smokestack emissions have no bad effect, and that global warming is just an
environmental myth. Boy, it's hot today!)
If there is more water in the atmosphere, then hurricanes may pack more
of a punch.
What if the temperature goes up 4 or 5 degrees, which the talking head
said might happen in the last decades of the 21st century? Will hurricanes
become so powerful that they will not break up but move far inland with
Category 4 or 5 or maybe 7 or 8 force?
Most likely the ultimate cause of stronger and more frequent hurricanes
is the curse of some ancient North American Indian Chief.
