Are we actually having more environmental disasters than usual?

Question

This is a question and it is not dumb, but people that call others out of their name are___________what? Oh, seany boy o that's for you!

Answer 1

when I look at storm frequencies and types of storms over a hundred year or more basis I can't see one bit of difference, granted global temperature is increasing slowly but then again last I heard the planet was in the process of leaving an ice age and where temperatures now sit is close to normal, the Earth has been way warmer before

all of the environmental and global warming talk does tend to jack up oil and other energy prices, so it pays a lot of people to panic people as much as possible

environmentalists have recently lobbied to stop solar energy research, lol

Answer 8

No your dumb... with increased technology we are able to record and find more disasters the numbers are relatively the same.

Answer 9

I believe so.

Since the earth is warming up to a certain degree every passing year, the more storms are able to stick around. Tornados for instance, can stay on the ground longer than before because they have more fuel to run on in the atmosphere. Severe weather and flooding as well are to blame for the warming of the earth. Places in the midwest have seen more rain than they can handle now...Last year everyone was begging for rain since some areas had intense droughts, now this year they beg for the rain to go away. Same with hurricanes...the warmer the gulf waters get, the more violent they will get--leading to more category 4 and 5 storms.
