Researchers in the UK claim to have the first firm evidence that
rising sea-surface temperatures have boosted the intensity and
incidence of hurricanes that form in the tropical North Atlantic,
Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Mark Saunders and Adam Lea of
University College London (UCL) say that a 0.5-degree increase in the
temperature of the ocean surface results in a 40% increase in
hurricane activity.
Notoriously complex
However, the Earth's climate is a notoriously complex system and
researchers have struggled to establish a direct relationship between
SST and hurricanes.
Gosh the first evidence of SST to hurricane activity. Of course no
firm evidence before never stopped all those with an AGW agenda from
stating this connection as Fact. And even worse they had no problems
with bald-faced lies about how "Greenhouse gases" in general and CO2
in particular are supposed to be the cause of climate change. Note
that missing from this study is the fact that CO2 levels are a direct
function of SST. Get that? A change in SST CAUSES a change in CO2
levels. It is NOT as Algore and Co. keep bleating that increases in
CO2 levels cause a rise in SST. With luck maybe a hurricane will blow
all these propagandists away.
Left unsaid is the fact that it just might be wise to start looking
for REAL causes of the "notoriously complex" climate change before
some real trouble sets in, instead of spending tons of money on some
worthless political agenda designed to enrich a few. What? They think
that they don't live on the same planet we do?
