"Global warming is increasing the frequency of extremely high clouds in the Earth's tropics that cause severe storms and rainfall, according to a NASA study released Friday. The space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said a study by its scientists "found a strong correlation between the frequency of these clouds and seasonal variations in the average sea surface temperature of the tropical oceans."

Notice that the rest of the article, in it's brevity, offers that the "increasing" "frequency of extremely high clouds" is, admittedly only a scientific inference, and scientific speculation as to it being a "cause of severe storms", which it does not offer as proved by factual evidence of such an increase.

In other words, the predictions of the man-made "global warming" model are the only thing presented as scientific "evidence", not historical data, now or in the past, on the experience of "severe storms".

Looks kinda DOWN to me.

SUVs apparently cause fewer hurricanes, a tropical storm type the last time I checked.

Drive on!

The lack of sunspots has more correlation with cloud cover. The sun’s magnetic field affects how much cosmic ray flux gets to Earth. Cosmic rays create ions in the upper atmosphere. Condensation happens around ions, making it easier for clouds to form. Increased cloud cover creates COOLING.

Ah, I see, so higher temperatures cause lower temperatures, which in turn cause clouds which warm up things while cooling them down.

You know, if anyone with any sense of the scientific method, or even elementary logic ever get ahold of the purse string of these dopes, they are going to be stripped of their lab coats.

When NASA figures out the exact amount of Green House gases that can be emitted without causing any warming or cooling ?
And at the same time, how to reach this exact figure without putting the entire planet back into a cave ? Call me .

so let me get this straight, the oceans are getting warmer while the planet as a whole is getting cooler... is that it??

“so let me get this straight, the oceans are getting warmer while the planet as a whole is getting cooler... is that it?? “ Just because the earth is getting colder and there are less tropical storms now than in the near past doesn’t give you the the right to be so sarcastic. Or does it?

NASA is more bankrupt than the automakers, but cashing in on the global warming hoax makes them relevant and therefore worthy of more funding. Liberalism strikes again.

WRONG. The lack of sunspots is causing the clouds, which increases rainfall, and cools the earth. As far as I know, there's no evidence that it increases severe storms, it just causes a LOT of rain.

All in all, Global warming is much more beneficient to humans than the Global cooling, which started at the beginning of this century. When there's a cooling period, crops don't grow as well, and the food supply could be limited. That causes higher prices, making it hard on everyone, except the extremely rich, who, by the way, are the ones who seem to be pushing the idea of changing the economic structure of the entire world, based on their illogical arguments against Warming.

GMTA. I didn't read your post before I entered mine. Hubby just read a great book; "The Chilling Stars" by Henrik Svensmark. If you haven't seen it yet, get hold of it. It's not only the sunspots that are culprits, but the actual rotation of the planets around the sun, that cause the Solar Minimums and Maximums.

There's group predicting a severe Solar Minimum, the peak of which will be about 2030. They're basing this on the data from the past, and they think it could be even more severe than either the Maunder or Dalton minimums of the second millenium. Hubby and I have been saying that it should be named the AlGore Minimum, to fix in everyone's minds the sheer idiocy of the man.
