Global Warming & Hurricanes - orig. 10/06/05
I just finished reading an article from the October 2005 issue of Time Magazine.
The article is about whether or not global warming is affecting hurricane trends.
There is no consensus as to whether or not global warming is causing more hurricanes. There seems to be more consensus regarding whether global warming causes an increase in hurricane intensity. (It sounds like global warming may very well increase hurricane intensity.)
The article also talked about dramatic and sudden shifts that occur in weather patterns. They likened the phenomenon to boiling water turning into steam. Thing can progress gradually until you reach a certain point and then the change is both dramatic and sudden.
I vote that we err on the side of caution.
Take a walk down to your local library and check the article out for yourself.
