What happened to the topless native women?
LOL - makes one wonder! There was a day when the (most of) photographers that did work for them simply relied on talent and good timing to get those incredible shots.
If they could detect a trendline in the other direction they’d say there was a problem with not getting enough warning. There’s just no satisfying the professionally dissatisfied.
Slow hurricanes. That’s new. Exciting too!
Time to investigate the weather news channels. Slower moving storms means more air time and revenue for them. I smell a conspiracy
You know what’s weird? I haven’t been in a hurricane since my parents moved us from Massachusetts to Arizona in 1961. Makes me think that all weather might be local.
Well Trump is President, what did they expect?
LOL
I’m stuned to hear about it.
CC
Agreed. That was the best part for those of us interested in foreign customs and cultures. Without that, it's NGINO.
Hugh gets blamed for many huge problems. He needs to be fired!
You need to get a new beeber ...
caused by global warming, lol.
Everyone knows that Trump has slowed down time to delay Mueller /s.
The “experts” have spoken.
Brace yourself for some fast moving hurricanes people!
Well, that explains their mediocre record this year. Wait a minute...I didn't read the article. We're talking about the NHL team, aren't we?
"The prevailing scientific opinion — seen in this 2012 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — is that while tropical storms are likely to become more powerful and rainier as the climate warms, they would also become less common.
"A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, suggest that we may not be so lucky. Kerry Emanuel, an atmospheric scientist at the Massachusetts institute of Technology (MIT) and one of the foremost experts on hurricanes and climate change, argues that tropical cyclones are likely to become both stronger and more frequent as the climate continues to warm."
Well as long as it is a Hugh problem, I guess the majority of us have nothing to worry about then. 8>)
“Kossin’s work was based on details of almost 70 years’ worth of storms, but he made no attempt to determine what was causing the slowdown. Still, the shift is precisely what he and other cyclone experts said would be expected from climate change.”
Just asserting random problems are caused by the supposed existence of man-made global warming.
We’ve had storms lately that moved slower than past storms, therefore it must be global warming.
Global warming is going to get worse because not enough people are panicking, paying carbon tax credits, or nodding their heads like mindless zombies. So anything bad in the world is ALSO going to get much worse because... Global Warming.
What’s really making the world worse and more dangerous is more and more people with no critical thinking skills who inevitably swallow propaganda hook, line, and sinker, and then vote liberal.
Well the Miami Hurricanes haven’t won a national championship since 2002.
Well played sir!
From the Environmental Defense Fund (June 2014):
"...hurricanes have been shifting pole-ward at a rate of 30 to 40 miles per decade over the last 30 years. It means they are moving closer to major population centers such as Washington, New York and Boston.
“Increasing hazard exposure and mortality risk from tropical cyclones may be compounded in coastal cities outside the tropics, while being offset at lower latitudes.”
vs. this from National Geographic (September 2013):
"Climate change might alter atmospheric conditions so that hurricanes may be pushed away from the East Coast, according to a study published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
"The changes they predict could make it less likely that a future hurricane would follow a path similar to the one that Hurricane Sandy took last fall, when it devastated much of the northeastern U.S. coast, particularly New Jersey and New York."
...but...
"Jennifer Francis, a meteorologist at Rutgers University, said the study "makes a useful contribution" to the understanding of how climate warming may be affecting weather patterns. But she said that though the computer models used in the study are the best available, their accuracy is uncertain."
