well, what about global warming - does it cause hurricanes, butzko?    keep in mind:   after Katrina, didn't the global warming religionists get feverish about "greater than normal hurricane Seasons", for both of these last two summers???  and didn't we have two of the mildest hurricane seasons recorded?  do you think that the global warming 'fears' might be somewhat akin to "chicken little's:  "The Sky is Falling!  Run and Tell everyone!  We must do SOMETHING ! ! "   but, if it really is, what are you going to do?  and if it isn't, what is there to be excited about???

Even if you count the hurricanes that hit the southern countries, there was still abnormally low activity and low numbers of folks dying from the storms.  by the way, the increasing number of people dying from a hurricane might, just possibly, be related to the increasing number of folks living below sea level in low-lying areas, and not really to increased storm intensity or destructive actions.

thoughts. but that is off topic.  more to the point, I'm staying here at chess.com to feverishly play hot games of chess.   << well, global warming, you know. makes the games hotter.

   


Not being a climate scientist and all, I can't really defend the ideas behind it. What I do know, though, is that 2 main ingredients for hurricanes are warm, moist air and warm water. Although Atlantic storms were down in the 2 past years, didn't we see more hurricanes in the Pacific and elsewhere lately? I've read that the decline in storms on the Atlantic side had more to do with la nina than anything else. But, again, I'm no scientist, but records I've seen show that the average surface temperature of the earth (global) is rising (warming).

Hurricanes are cool. And that means that they would actually FIGHT global warming. Hurricanes make air move, much like my ceiling fan. So that would cool the earth off. See, if global warming makes hurricanes, it's killing itself. And no sensible weather pattern would do that.

 

That is all.

So you're saying that hurricanes cool the earth because they spin like your ceiling fan?

If he were selling heaters, wouldn't he push Global Cooling?

In 1970, global freezing was the fashionable scare. One supporter was Paul Ehrlich, author of "The Population Bomb." 10 years later global warming replaced it with the same supporters. I read that Earth Day is on Lenin's birthday. That is appropriate for a politicized science. Global warming has been going on, with cooling periods, since the peak of the last ice age. 18,000 years ago the ocean level was 350-400 feet lower than it is now. As a result of the ice retreat, there are stories of a great flood in cultures around the world. The freezers became warmers just like the individuals who have served both Nazis of Communists. J. Swift wrote about two groups at war over which end of the egg to open. It may not matter as much as having the power to tell people what to do and the joy of group reinforcement that comes with being told.

I thought the Easter bunny caused Global Warming, thanks for setting me straight.

 

Either way, I'm staying on this fantastic site.

I'm fairly new @ chess.com but I have to say that this is truly the best site I have visited to date.  True chess players!  My opinion is if you want to leave this site, get-er-done and quit talking about it.  And thank you to all whom I have played with for the great games and polite chats.  I am here to stay and look forward to meeting the rest of you soon.  GOD BLESS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

This thread contains some of the cleverest writing exhibited in these forums to date.

 

Maybe Reseresmonkey's Departure should be a regularly scheduled event?
