				Global Ocean Surface Temperature WARMEST on RECORD for June
July 17, 2009
The world’s ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for June, breaking the previous high mark set in 2005, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. Additionally, the combined average global land and ocean surface temperature for June was second-warmest on record. The global records began in 1880.

We got told "warm waters make more hurricanes!" but so far, that is a very questionable premise.
I thought we were past posting every NOAA article on hurricanes...










			
			 
			
				Meathead,
It wasnt an article on hurricanes. It was an article about the warmest ocean water ever recorded.
Other poster regarding hurricanes. Dont go there. We are going to have 2-3 more Katrina like storms in the next 10-20 years. Eventually, even people like you will be on board. We will always have room on the bandwagon, though, so dont worry.










			
			 
			
				I think it was 3 at FL and 4 when it hit the LA coast, and a 3 by the time it got to nola.
Don't they predict on average 1-2 major hurricanes making landfall each year? Major meaning Cat 3-5. And if you are referring to the path that Katrina took over NO and the MS Gulf Coast, all of that is a crap shoot and odds are that 2-3 might take that path over the next 10-20 years.
More evidence that global warming is impacting the USA.
