Oh, and remember, 1999 wasnt exactly a cool summer.....Stats just from 2000 on.

Global Warming Not Linked To Increased Hurricane Activity

http://www.insurancetechguru.com/blo...cane-activity/

“The biggest fallacy is that people think that a hurricane feeds off a warm ocean, and if the ocean gets warmer, we will have more intense hurricanes,” he explained. “But there are other factors involved, such as vertical wind shear, which is the difference between the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere. You could also have drier air. These are far more critical factors than the ocean being warmer.

He added that while many of today’s forecasts for future climate and hurricane activity are based on computer climate models, “We can’t even reliably forecast El Niño. When you look 50 years into the future, you’re getting a picture, but could you be totally wrong? Yes!”

Are any of you guys in north Louisiana concerned about the coal-fired generating plant proposed for Texarkana?
The 600 MG coal fired power plant in Hempstead County near Texarkana that Arkansas' Public Service Commission has approved, but which has not passed into total approved status by the state's Dept of Environmental Quality (DEQ) yet, must be stopped from being constructed or we will see this state sink deeper into air pollution degradation, and therefore, health degradation. Below are some links where there is both info and a video trailer, some attached flyers, etc. The video was shown here a few weeks ago at the Fayetteville Public Library and is excellent. We hope to get some additional copies available for more showings here and in other towns.
A small group of activists have met a couple of times since the video showing in order to organize efforts to both alert and educate people of the consequences of burning yet more coal for power. The Hempstead plant and another already approved near Oceola, AR will produce enough carbon dioxide pollution to raise Arkansas' CO2 levels by 16% according to calculations done by organizers in this grassroot effort. CO2 is not classified as an air contaminant in Arkansas so DEQ is acting like its hands are tied,
BUT has still not given final approval. Gov. Beebe is really holding the big ace in stopping this plant and he's saying he's waiting on his Global Warming Commission's report (as if they will say, " Geezz, no CO2 really isn't causing global warming!").
To make matters worse for us in our corner of the state (we already have a plant at Gentry just up the road), there's a plant planned near Poteau, OK and it's smoke will reach us according to folks checking wind patterns. This means sounding alarm of disapproval in OK as well.

so what are the adverse affects of locally high co2 levels?

Increased inbreeding.

I predict the global warming movement will die just like the other scares of the past. Even today they have moved to "climate change"


Why not do something serious and protect the rainforests? Deforestation due to urban sprawl is a huge problem AND hard to solve!

Because no one cares about the work that people in the natural sciences do unless they can convince people there is an impending catastrophe. That is the ONLY reason this Ice Age/Global Warming/Climate Change thing was ever more than a small blip in the scientific research literature.

The problem the scientific community is going to have is explaining is;

a. how it formed over land

b. how is stengthened over land(TWICE, Cuba and Florida)


I have "theories" for both, but I really dont want to alarm.

massive strengthening over land there ace.

come on, dogtor, everyone knows it's absurd to think that the sun could be responsible for global warming.
