Storm Watch

[nPeace]

Every "Hurricane Season" I do it. Have been doing so now for the past 4 or 5 years.
I have observed that some storms are rapidly developing, much more quicker than previous.

Take Larry for example. I watched that system from when it first appeared on the African coast.

Notice how quickly that system, goes from a depression to a tropical storm - clocking currently 70 mph winds, in less than 24 hours.
Larry is predicted to be a hurricane in a short while (probably less than 24 hours from a depression) and a major hurricane in two days or less.

You will notice that if Larry was positioned just 5 degree (I assume that's degrees?) lower than its current position, the lesser Antilles would have been in for some major damage. Deaths would have been certain.

It's getting quite serious with the increasing extreme whether.

Is 13 going to be Moe?

Every time I get my hopes up for some epic weather, they just curveball into Louisiana. They just absorb all the hurricanes.

Ida seem to have taken a straight path there. Off the NW coast of South America, the waters seem to be warming, as systems are quite active there recently.

We have to be thankful, though.

If global warming was real, just think how bad it would be.

Global warming isn't real? ...but... but...

As a subset of cyclic climate change, yes. But I don’t think it’s a phenomenon by itself. 250 million years ago the center of the Pangaea supercontinent was hot and dry, and dead. When Pangaea started breaking up and ocean currents changed, so did the climate. This current warming started about 10,000 years ago and will probably continue and get worse. Humankind isn’t helping but I don’t think we’re the sole cause.

What is Global Warming?

This graph illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures, with the year 2020 tying with 2016 for warmest on record (Source: NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies). Learn more about global surface temperature here. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere. The term is frequently used interchangeably with the term climate change, though the latter refers to both human- and naturally produced warming and the effects it has on our planet. It is most commonly measured as the average increase in Earth’s global surface temperature.

Since the pre-industrial period, human activities are estimated to have increased Earth’s global average temperature by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), a number that is currently increasing by 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land.

It's real then?

Did you not read what I wrote? Let me reiterate... I think it’s real as a subset of cyclic geological climate change. “Humankind isn’t helping but I don’t think we’re the sole cause.”

So i was confirming. It is real then.

Scientists have not said that humans are the sole cause. But we are the main one.

Well, all signs point to you being wrong about that.

This current warming started about 10,000 years ago

Nope.
