Houston Houston, do you hear me?
Global warming doesn't exist. And Houston has disappeared.
6.5 Million people trapped in a new lake. That is rising and rising. The first leevee has broken, the waters go slowly in. Like an horror film in slow motion. 6.5 million people that need to eat and take water every day. Everything seems quite broken and no real relief for those people is in sight. President Trump proposes to cut the budget of the FEMA and other relief agencies since global warming doesn't exist and catastrophes can't happen. Never before Houston has seen this. And this is a warning for the whole planet: Global warming doesn't exist. Gulf waters were more than 1 degree warmer than before. Before the thing starts accelerating. Let's say last century. Just a coincidence. And the atmosphere is warmer too. Can hold more water vapor. A warm dry climate, punctuated by catastrophic floods. South Asia monsoon floods leave hundreds dead and thousands of homes destroyed says http://news.sky.com/story/south-asia...royed-11011441 And Houston has disappeared. A big lake will stay put for weeks, ending the total destruction of the city. Like an horror film in slow motion. Not so slow for the 6.5 million people in their homes with mounting waters and no water or food. I haven't heard about any actual solution to feed and distribute water to all those people now. Nobody speaks about that, Houston Houston, do you hear me? |

The two have nothing to do with each other. Read up on politics. FEMA Disaster relief doesn't work that way - there is no fixed budget for disaster - there never can be. After a Federal Declaration is made, Congress is requested to pass a continuing resolution to provide funds for relief. (This can be a political football - partisan politics comes into play) And yes - that's what the Federal Government Disaster Aid does - it doesn't do the feeding or the rescuing (Although agencies such as the Coast Guard, and the Air Force may be performing activities as part of their normal Search and Rescue functions) - those are performed on the local level, where it should be. The Fed shows up to pass out money to help people fix their stuff, and to coordinate multi-state efforts. Never before Houston has seen this. And this is a warning for the whole planet: Poppycock. Flood waters have been higher in that area, and not that long ago. Galveston was shaved clean by a Hurricane in 1900 that is still the most deadly natural disaster to hit the U.S. Global warming doesn't exist. Gulf waters were more than 1 degree warmer than before.

So warmer oceans will result in more frequent extreme weather events. Actually no. Severe storms only correlate very loosely to warm ocean waters in general and correlate much more strongly to a strong El Nino and the Decadal Oscillation, neither of which is related at all to global warming. If it was just warmer water, we should have an ever increasingly violent storm season and that just isn't happening. One warm year does not a climate change make. Getting warmer does not a human caused climate change make. One good measure is percentage of news events that are weather related, and this has been increasing steadily. No, that's a pathetic measure unless what you're trying to measure is media views of what story might have 'legs'. snip idiotic ideologue items -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G.

Oh, and just by the way, the reason this particular storm dropped so much rain is that it came ashore and 'stalled' over the region. That has nothing to do with much of anything but chance.

Nobody speaks about that, Houston Houston, do you hear me? And in the answers nobody speaks about that. There are now millions of people that need to be fed and provided with at least running water to drink. In this new lake there are a lot of people, the city, as their major said, is submerged. I do not see any news about the mass distributions of food and water. What are they waiting for? The population is latino, then blacks, and asians. "Whites" make around 30% only. Mr Trump is known for his animosity against this populations, specially the latinos. Are they condemmed to die of thirst and hunger or what? |

Severe storms only correlate very loosely to warm ocean waters in general and correlate much more strongly to a strong El Nino Hurricanes, Cyclones, Typhoons correlate DIRECTLY with warm ocean waters as this is the fuel which creates them. They are only created over tropical ocean waters, requiring at least 30 waters to generate the kind of energy for such systems to be created. Wrong. Go study up on hurricanes and their formation. If what you claim is true we would have ever increasingly severe and frequent hurricanes because of 'global warming'. We don't. Explain. The wsarmer the ocean, the more frequent very strong hurricanes/cyclones/typhoos are created. Again, only loosely correlated. Thunderstorms, tornoadoes are totally different beasts. Tell the guy who originally lumped them all together. Note that Harvey hit shores as a Cat 4. This is not a weak storm and the winds causes horrendous damage on shores. Just because media is forcus on urban flooding (easier to cover) does not detract from the damage done on shores. Actually in countries like the US winds tend to be the LEAST damaging component of a hurricane. Other than breaking glass, most structures will stand up pretty well. In the case of Sandy, the winds pushed salt water onto lower Manhattan, flooding telecom infrastructure (Verizon decided to ditch all copper instead of trying to fix it), and ruined railway tunnels. Salt water doesn't come from rain. This ain't Sandy and even that behaving the way it did was an anomaly. See Hurricane Irene that hit the same area for an example. The biggest problem created by storm surge from Harvey is that it prevents the FOUR FEET of rain from draining. -- "Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson |

Lived though Olivia in 1996, had to ride my bike on roads already closed to get to shelter to live though a Cat 4 cyclone in northwest Western Australia. Warm ocean waters are what creates them. Needs to be above 30 which is why they are called TROPICAL events since they doN't happen outside of tropics where ocean waters are not warm enough to create a storm of such size AND energy. There's much more to it than that. The warmer the water, the stronger and more energy such a storm has. Can have, not has. Again, only loosely correlated. Not loosely. It is a pure cause/effect issue. When waters cool in a hemisphere, these events stop being created. Hence Hurricane season in Atlantic. OK, you're adamantly ignorant. Your choice. Again, given global warming, why do we not have constantly increasing storm power and frequency (because we don't, you know)? snip ****e You're a nitwit and you're hardly the only person to have been in a storm. -- "Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson |

Because global warming only means the AVERAGE temperature is going up. The ACTUAL temperature, both locally and globally, varies around that average and is not higher everywhere and always. Everyone except Donald and you understands that. |
