Why Climate Change Makes Stronger Storms

[@tomarsandbeyond]

Great video; I found the flashing percentage numbers annoying to look at but otherwise excellent vid and information.

[@cnexusny7915]

Very interesting interviews and discussion. yaleclimateforum It seems some of the audio is slightly out of sync, at least in the first few minutes.

The 4x and 10x bits were a bit in your face. Maybe some nice floating text would work better.

Where have all the hurricanes gone?

[@RodMartinJr]

Hurricane and typhoon counts have remained relatively flat, along with ACE (accumulated cyclone energy). During the Little Ice Age, strong storm counts were far greater in Europe, because polar ice was closer to equatorial heat. Get rid of the polar ice and you virtually eliminate strong storms.

​@@RodMartinJr I really wonder if you still think that now in 2020. Get rid of the polar ice and we have a positive feedback loop of increasing heating of the planet and acidification of the oceans due to all of the CO2 stored in that ice being released, along with the lowered albedo from a lack of ice and snow. With that, we have less zooplankton (and other shellfish) since they cannot create or maintain their shells in acidic conditions and the entire oceanic ecosystem collapses along with the fishing industry. Agriculture in areas with more precipitation suffers from increased pests and disease due to humid conditions, cows die of heatstroke, northern logging industries suffer because the trees need colder temps, more mosquito born diseases move further north, etc etc. All of this is already happening.

@@emilyporter1186 Thanks for the comment and opinions. Instead of telling you the facts and logic I've learned, I'll ask you some questions, if you don't mind. Perhaps it will be a learning experience for us both. I used to be a Warming Alarmist for several years, but then rediscovered the science basics, and thus discovered that Al Gore and I had been horribly wrong. What happens when you warm up water? What happens when you evaporate water, say, from the back of your hand? And what happens to all that water vapor once it reaches a far colder environment at higher altitudes? Let's address these concerns, first, and then I'll discuss the other topics, later. I look forward to your answers. Again, I might learn something.

[@brendablack3]

Thank you for you time in making this. The public need this information and some Republicans.

[@RodMartinJr]

Brenda, you really need to learn more science so you can spot the frauds.

[@rchuso]

The statistically-continuous polar front wave number changes with changing temperature gradient and should statistically set itself aligned with the Rocky and Himalayan mountains. Interesting to watch this change over the decades.

[@rapauli]

this is a superb video. thanks

[@jpollard117]

All I know is that climate change caused my hemorrhoids.

Very distracting editing :/

[@europaeuropa3673]

Just checked temps in Canada today, January 4,2018. Coldest is -50.6 F in Riviere aux Feuilles, Quebec. Sure looks like global warming is really kicking in.

[@RodMartinJr]

Europa, that's anecdotal evidence and only local weather, at that. I remember in D.C. in the mid-60s an early February thaw that reached into the 80s F for over a week. Trees started to sprout, and then it snowed again. Anomalies in weather happen all the time. We live in an Ice Age; global warming is the *_solution;_* not the problem. Cold kills, especially when the globalists and their minions push higher and higher prices for fuel oil or electricity to warm homes. And those eugenicists want to cool the planet, which -- to their delight -- will likely kill a few billion people,... unless we prepare for the coming cold. CO2 and temperature show virtually zero correlation on nearly every time scale. On the only time scale that is an exception, temperature drives CO2; not the other way around. Al Gore: "Oops!"

[@AySz88]

While the content is good, there's a little bit too much stimulation in places (especially "10x! 10x! 10x!"). Be careful with making the editing distracting instead of enhancing.

[@RodMartinJr]

Well, the content isn't so hot, once you have enough science basics under your belt and good critical thinking skills to spot the logical fallacies.

[@azmanabdula]

You know that Ice block in your Whiskey, well, you know how it melts..... *Yeah* well, its gets hot after that......

[@RodMartinJr]

"Hot?" No, I'd say it gets warm. You'd need a hot room to make the drink hot. We live in an Ice Age and ice kills. Otherwise, you'd have most of the Earth's population living in the polar regions (which is not what is happening).
