WeatherBELL Models | Premium Weather Maps


it includes data on total hurricanes, frequency as well as ACE (Accumulated Cyclonic Energy) which is the bell weather for understanding what is going on...


There really is no desernable trend one way or the other since the 1970s ( the satellite era)

There's no data there on the strength of hurricanes and the science said/says that storms will become more powerful. How about some data on the dollar value estimate of damage done by hurricanes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tic_hurricanes

See the table and sequence the "Damage" column from high to low, and you will find a higher concentration of recent years associated with the highest costs.

YEAH!! It's a global conspiracy that every developed country is in on!!!! They are all lying in order to funnel billions of dollars to U.S. scientists!!! It's so widespread that only about 20% of the people and only 3-5 percent of scientists are telling the truth!!!

How idiotic.

Controlling the weather, the sun, the warming and cooling trends of the earth is like a flea trying to kill an elephant!
In 1977 Exxon disagreed with you.

Yes and if they were serious they would stop farting methane.

Storms are not more frequent, nor do they have more intensity. Forest fires, started by lightening, have always been around and before we got here, they really did rage completely out of control. Also, there is nowhere where floods are now where there has never been one before.
well said spartacus

15,000 years ago when we came out o the last ice age, the earth warmed much faster in ten years than is has in the last 200 years.

Let us just assume, for the purpose of debate, the Goreists are right.


We just agreed to cut emissions 26% by 2030 in exchange China stops increasing emissions in that year.


What this does is increase the shipping of jobs to China, a nation under no current restriction on CO2 emissions.


That will not do one damn thing to reduce CO2 emissions.


If the Goreists are right history will look down on the groups and individuals who used global warming to advance their agenda, an agenda that does not include reducing global warming, more than they will the deniers
