(CNSNews.com) – Meterologist Jim Cantore of The Weather Channel predicted that the world will see more extremes in weather, a possible side effect of so-called climate change.
During a Newsmaker Luncheon at the National Press Club on Wednesday, Cantore was asked how relevant the issue of climate change is to his “day-to-day duties” and whether it changes “the business of forecasting on a short-term basis.”
“If you look at today’s dollars and you go back to the 1980s, we averaged about $1 billion disaster a year. In the 2000s, we’ve averaged almost five, and in the last two years, we’ve averaged $7.5 billion disasters per year. So, we’ve seem more extremes, and we’re … going to continue to see more extremes,” Cantore said.

“And being a guy who stands out in the rain all the time, it rains, it’s raining harder out there. And that’s really weird. It’s not scientific, but when I’m out there in it, it just seems to be raining a lot harder. More water vapor means more rainfall,” he said.

I hope the wife is in charge of finances in the Cantore household...
I will never understand this simplistic notion that more heat = violent weather...like the earth is a pot of boiling water.
One of the central beliefs in GW is that the poles are warming faster than the equator. This means that the temperature differentials should become smaller...and actually our weather should get less violent.
Anyone who believes hot = storms just doesn’t know what they are talking about.
And he apparently knows nothing about Hurricane strength and US landfall.
So this is the weakest period of major hurricanes hitting the US since 1900, and we are now guaranteed to break that record. So we are in the weakest period of major hurricanes hitting the US ever in recorded history. Exactly the opposite that Cantore claims and exactly the opposite of what the AGW Idiots predicted.

Global Warming on Free Republic
I have yet to have explained to me how humans, putting 0.0012% of a trace gas that makes up .04% of the atmosphere, can/is causing globull warming.
Regarding your percentages: It's true is only 0.04% but it was only 0.028 percent around 1850. The amount we added took it from about 0.03% to 0.04% (part of the rise was natural). There's bound to be some warming from that, but not more than I would consider beneficial especially since the CO2 warming is greatest in Siberia, northern Canada, etc. in winter and at night.
