temperature and co2 wise... we are likely to start going back up if we are going to follow natural events. Our co2 levels got so low we almost choked off most vegetation. With our rising populations needing to be fed... rising co2 may be just in the nick of time.
its has gotten too crowded. I was in Del Mar and Carlsbad on business this morning. traffic in every direction. Not as bad as L.A. but not like San Diego 20 years ago.
In my naive-climate-hobbyist-scientist mind, due to HFGW I would either expect either: same numbers but stronger hurricanes/typhoons more of them, stronger or not I believe that one is unequivocally true since we recorded history, but not sure two is true.
AGW --> Global Warming --> Climate Change --> Human Forced Global Warming The terminology keeps changing to drive the political fantasy that has no backing in scientific facts.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It is amazing how often Futurecurrents attempts to re-write history and is exposed as a fraud from his own posts.
Try reading comprehension. STRONG hurricanes are becoming more numerous, not ALL hurricanes. You see, STRONG hurricanes are a subset and not equivalent to ALL hurricanes. AFAIK There was never a prediction for MORE hurricanes. But perhaps you can find something from a reputable climate scientist saying so. If I said otherwise I misspoke and meant more STRONG hurricanes. In fact, some said there may be fewer tornadoes and hurricanes due to the fact that the Arctic is not as cold thus the temp delta is less between there and the tropics thus reducing their formation. It is unclear whether global warming is increasing hurricane frequency but there is increasing evidence that warming increases hurricane intensity. https://www.skepticalscience.com/hurricanes-global-warming-intermediate.htm
However this guy says that there will be more. A new study by Kerry Emanuel, a prominent hurricane researcher at MIT, found that contrary to previous findings, tropical cyclones are likely to become both stronger and more frequent in the years to come, especially in the western North Pacific, where storms can devastate the heavily populated coastlines of Asian nations. Emanuel's research showed the same holds true for the North Atlantic, where about 12 percent of the world's tropical cyclones spin each year. http://www.climatecentral.org/news/...quent-and-stronger-hurricanes-worldwide-16204
