Global Warming Expected to Intensify Hurricanes
Found on Slashdot on Friday, 01 October 2004
Think this hurricane season was bad? Well according to the New York Times, a study was published online on Tuesday by The Journal of Climate indicating that warming ocean temperatures are going to make for stronger, wetter hurricanes in the coming years and decades. An abstract of the article concludes cheerfully enough that 'greenhouse gas-induced warming may lead to a gradually increasing risk in the occurrence of highly destructive category-5 storms.' Oh joy.
Exactly this is what Kyoto was about. Just because Dubya does not believe that CO2 has anything to do with global warming; and of course it is cheaper to pollute and destroy the earth. I guess he should pay a visit to Florida or Haiti.
