Where are all those devastating hurricanes that were supposed to happen due to Global Warming?

As we see the predictions from 10 years ago have fallen flat, to put it mildly. Even as late as 2012 we can see the clingers on touting this disaster.

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/global-warming-is-causing-more-hurricanes-8212584.html

Now we see that maybe Climate Change may be coming to the rescue.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/09/130902-hurricanes-climate-change-superstorm-sandy-global-warming-storms-science-weather/

Now it states that Climate Change is canceling out Global Warming. Whew! It must be tough to be a Climate Scientist now days!

Al Gore said in his boring film and on Oprah Katrinias would be a yearly thing .

Since global warming is a false idea, so are the results.

When there is drought, they focus on drought. When there is flooding, they focus on flooding. When there is cold, they focus on polar vortexes. Nothing will prevent these zealots from attacking our way of life. It can be a nice day or a rainy day. They really don't care. When we get another hurricane, they will again blame that on our CO2. Gring is apparently already blaming hurricane deaths on our CO2. You could have a drop in hurricanes and they still would blame our CO2 on it.

Hurricanes are buried deep within the "natural climate variability" formula and seem to materialize when they decide to instead of at the whim of hurricane predictors.



The Climate Clowns are having a hard enough time trying to figure out why their "HOT SPOT" hasn't developed. They are also working very hard at establishing an ACCURATE temperature record. There's plenty of manipulating to do, so they don't have time to answer your question with any certainty.



Living life with the understanding that CHAOS is in control can't be easy.

If meteorologists and other scientists say we can expect more hurricanes that doesn't mean if we don't get them all of their science is wrong.

I don't know if you can understand that since you've said your god won't let us harm the environment,

Out in the S Pacific were I live we have had typhoons from both ways. Heavy rains, and very dry between rain seasons. We have 4 seasons here. Wet,dry,wet,dry a year. The larger typhoons to the North Moving west such in wet air from the west here. Then dry. Then typhoons from the south west moving east . We depend on them to the week to show up on time. Not just for the rice, but for our hydro power. They come 2 weeks late we have to fire the old coal plant up. It breaks down often. Then the black outs come with limited electric. Been a bit strange down South here. Strong typhoons. Then extra dry, but more wet in the typhoon season. Dryer in the dry seasons. Our lake can only hold so much water for so many weeks on hydro. So we are at power max in use here. Rains and dry season need start on time here. To have reliable electric. That we have not seen for a few years now.

It appears that Global Warming is causing a 'kinder', more stable climate.

I watch the weather forecast every evening for our area, and we've had record low temperatures for the last few years. Lat year we had 3 days at 90 degrees or above, and so far this year we've had one day where it hit 90 degrees, and these were all in the month of August! They also give the record high an low for the date. The record highs were mostly set back in the very early 1900's, with a few scattered around in the past few years, and the record lows have mostly occurred in the past 5 to 30 years ago. Our average temperatures last winter were colder than the prior year, and this years prediction is colder averages yet. There are many of us "older" folks who would love to see some global warming during December, January, February and March! We also saw record snowfall averages last winter. Our average is around 36" of snow and last year we recorded 61" of snow! Yeah, I'm ready for some of that "global warming" that I've read about.

Well, yes of course, but weather is an inexact science open to interpretation for more than just a day. Projecting the next year, or ten years is not even imaginable to a serious meteorologist.

Trust me more natural disasters as such will be coming out of the wood works and will hit the nations by surprise as did all those other hurricanes in the past.

Superstorm Sandy was pretty devastating to the U.S. It caused about $60 billion in damage and killed several hundred people.

Try understanding science before asking questions that show how stupid you are and then lie, you're getting tiresome

Um, Katrina? Teresa? Tornadoes in Oklahoma in February? Massive drought all over the planet? Increases in the amount of desert on every continent every year? Huge chunks of ice falling off glaciers (one today, how pertinent)? Ignore the climate evidence as long as your head in the sand will allow it, but don't whine for assistance or help when we're suffering because of the long-term effects of this change.

They are happening. The problem is one of definition: the term 'hurricane' in only used in one part of the world (mostly the USA), In Asia they are known as tropical cyclones or typhoons. Asia has had plenty of those lately.



In 2008 there was Cyclone Nargis which killed 138,000 people in Myanmar, There was typhoon Haiyan (aka Yolanda) which killed at least 6,300 people in the Philippines alone, to name just two.

Here's the formula. Pick different scenarios and assign some probability using words like "could" "likely" "uncertainty" and "needs more research". Make sure the scenarios cover all possibilities. When whatever happens, happens, revert back to one of the scenarios and look like you knew what you were talking about.



It's the new science, virtually infallible.



Edit: Gringo highlights another important aspect of new science. Forget about the past. The worst cyclones and hurricanes occurred more than forty years ago with many very deadly ones in the 1800s.

In May it was forecast that the Atlantic hurricane season will be less active than usual this year due to cooler seas and a strong El NiƱo effect, according to a US government weather forecaster.



Seems they might have gotten it right?
