Climate Change Causing Extreme Weather

Clearly, not enough, based of how much of the dust shows up in Houston!!!:mrgreen:

How can anyone think global dust isn't a significant variable for sea level rise?

I simply wish less of it would make it across the Atlantic!
I am sure the global dust has some impact, but measuring it would be difficult.

Please show me a study where they even address it.

Here is the problem you guys fail to acknowledge. The studies paid for by grant money don't want the unbiased facts. They are paid out to show a designated outcome. That's why significant variables that would yield the opposite results are ignored.

So... which actual experts that are *not* appliance repair technicians think it’s a contributor to sea level rise?

No more difficult than other variables they assume...

Are you implying that LOP provided no backup for his denial point? Surely that couldn't be the case.:confused:

But repeating conspiracy theories and evidence-free sciencey sounding phrases is so much easier than studying science.

I kind of like to see a few tropical storms early on, it seems like they use a bunch of the energy in the water so the later Hurricanes
cannot build as much. Not based on anything scientific, just 5 decades of watching and worrying about storms coming in.

Hmmm.

It just seems to be a pattern! Early small tropical storms cause the bigger storms to drop in intensity before landfall.
No early storms, means if we do get a September storm, it has a lot of energy to work with.

OK. To me it's just about water temperature and atmospheric patterns.

Greetings, Jack. :2wave:

:thumbs: The comments section - which I always enjoy - had some great posters today! :rofl:

Off topic but I wanted to ask how your new knee is behaving these days.

I certainly can't say I blame you. If I lived anywhere within a couple hundred miles of the Gulf of Mexico I would always be concerned about hurricanes towards the end of August. When I lived in Nebraska and Minnesota I worried about tornadoes. Until I moved back to California, and then Alaska. Now I have earthquakes to be concerned about.

Overall, however, I think I would rather worry about earthquakes than tornadoes or hurricanes. In the US at least, earthquakes have resulted in less damage and fewer deaths than either tornadoes or hurricanes. That is coming from someone who lived 3 miles away from the 7.1 magnitude quake epicenter we had last November. That wasn't even the largest quake I've been in. So yea, I'll take earthquakes over tornadoes and hurricanes any day. The only thing you need to remember is to be at least 5-miles from the coast and above a few hundred feet in elevation to avoid those earthquake-induced tsunamis.

The activity over the Atlantic does seem abnormally low, particularly when you consider how hot Europe has been. The tropical Atlantic should have been very warm indeed. Yet there has only been 3 tropical depressions, 2 storms, and 1 hurricane (less than Category 3) killing 1 person thus far in the Atlantic for 2019. Compare that to the Pacific in 2019, which has had 21 tropical depressions, 10 storms, 4 typhoons, and 1 (unofficial) Super Typhoon, killing 68 people.

New knee is great, thanks. Granddaughters visiting so I have to run.

Bet that cutting edge guy followed the science when developing his ‘innovation’. But he didn’t innovate the anesthesia, or post op drug regimen, or standard nursing Care. Bet he followed consensus based guidelines from the orthopedic societies, JACHO, and internal medicine.

He has his own surgical suite, designed to his specs, and his procedure greatly diminishes post-op drugs.

There is nothing with following best practices, but "consensus" is not a reason to do so.

Consensus in medicine, as in the rest of science, is key.

He followed guidelines for VTE prophylaxis, pain management, infection control, antibiotic prophylaxis, and countless other things.
