The new answer is that every change in weather, good, bad, or ugly, is caused by global warming. Didn't you hear Harry Reid telling us, in his wisdom, that the fires in CA were the result of global warming?

Not really new. There is ample evidence to suggest periods of warming and cooling throughout the age of the earth. I just question the validity of saying we contribute any significant increase to a natural occurence.

Be careful now. I don't put much stock into what Al Gore says, but I do put everything on what the Bible says, and it seems the bad seasons and earthquakes were part of the birthpangs, and we're in a lull.

Actually this year was above average in the number of storms; they just didn't hit the US as much.....

The upper level winds kept most of the storms from gaining strength by sheering off the high clouds. Also, a big high pressure (same one that caused the SE drought) kept most storms out to sea.

It all depends on jet streams, high pressures and atmospheric moisture. The water temps are there, but the other factors are not.

When the angels hold the four winds of heaven (IMO - the jet-streams) so that they do not blow on the Earth; that's when I believe the 'monster storms' will begin.

This season actually is above the long-term average for the number of named storms. The National Hurricane Center has tracked 14 storms — four of them hurricanes, two of them major with winds 111 mph or more. In an average year, 10 storms are named, six of them hurricanes and two of them major. Nov. 1, 2007 http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/hurricanes/2007-10-31-hurricanes_N.htm

Some good stats to look at on left side of news story...

That was said as a mockery of his "wisdom" the doom and gloom people missed the mark. They piled on after Katrina, and looked like the clueless little people they are.

As to the pangs, I am with you :thumb

Did harry reid say earthquakes were global warming? Even "acts of God" are gonna be caused by global warming :doh

we have noel coming, but i don't think it ever got past cat1 even now.... did a lot of flooding and is supposed to blow us around tonight into tomorrow, but if thats all we're getting for 'canes this year i'd say this years' predictions were just a tad off the mark.

No, he didn't. I was saying the storms and other events we're part of the birthpangs, not a part of the global warming hype. Not to say in the future that he won't spout something along the lines of "the earthquake tsunamis are more devastating due to the rising seas caused by global warming", so anything is possible.
