Global warming??yo!?

Question

how is global warming affecting the hurricanes produced each year?

Answer 1

I've heard there is global cooling now.  The last winter was colder than usual.

Answer 2

I  have no doubt we are in the midst of a global warming. Or, as I prefer to call it, spring

Answer 3

well in review, it seems to be a mixed bag, as here scientist in higher circles have found reasons to think so, then others have found ways to pick holes in there theories...that being said, I lived in FL for a while, and the weather channel said that they were increasing, both in size, and number...they have a naming system, and they have been naming many more storms recently.

Answer 4

Intensity of ~1%. Nothing to do with frequency.

Answer 5

Answer 6

it probably isnt

they predicted that it would go up in # of hurricanes

but it didn't at all

al gore is a fagggggg

Answer 7

It isn't. Hurricane and other tropical storms haven't gotten any more intense or more frequent as the IPCC and Al Gore predicted. The oceans have not heated up immensely and if they do it will because the air above them warms them, oceans do not get warm due to sunlight or have you never gotten into an unheated pool on a cold but sunny day? None of the countless predictions made by global warming advocates have come true so now they call it climate change, so that if it gets colder or a volcano erupts, they can claim credit for knowing it would happen.

The day global warming stops will be the day the ice age returns and then you'll have some actual problems to face, not just fantasy from the minds of politicians who distort the work of scientists eager for research grants.

How Does Global Warming Effect The Weather

          Global warming and the resulting climate change is a threat to mankind. These impacts have been adversely affecting public health, food security, agriculture, water resources and most importantly the planet’s biodiversity. More frequent and powerful cyclones and hurricanes, more frequent and intense floods and droughts are clear indications that climate change has already begun.

          Apart from extreme weather conditions, global warming is also responsible for causing global glacier decline, sea level rise, scarcity of freshwater resources and threatens human health. Even the ecosystems and species are in peril.

          The potential impacts of global warming on global weather patterns are explained below:

    * Extreme weathers and weather related events such as flooding, drought, wild fires, heat waves, and tropical cyclones are expected to occur even more frequently and to become even more intense. This will definitely result in serious consequences for human health and well being of living creatures.

    * Extreme and rapid changes in temperature would affect the length of various seasons, causing disruption in the life cycles of many plants and animals. For instance, shorter winters could reduce the feeding periods for young birds and availability of worms or insects for food. A change in length of seasons is also responsible for earlier egg laying in birds and earlier flowering of plants than usual. Even there are some mammals which are breaking their hibernation sooner than usual.

    * More frequent droughts and floods would adversely affect local food production. Mountainous regions would face an increased risk of floods caused by melting glaciers and this would subsequently affect the health, agriculture and water availability for the people residing over these mountainous regions.

          Heat waves, frequent cyclones and floods, prolonged periods of drought, food scarcity…. The list is endless. Climate change is indeed sounding the death knell! Nations must therefore develop effective responses and mechanisms to cope with the potential threats from climate change.

Answer 9

This year it seems the cold hasnt gone away here in Chicago,illinois when its supposed to be warm around the 60's when its like still 30-40's mostly.

Either global warming is causing shifts in wind currents making the weather change in places or just something that just happend and is normal.

Answer 10

kay, so im olny 14 and im assuming this is for a school project??

yeah lol its okay we all do it...

So, when hurricanes begin form, they rely on water, heat and cold, beacause global warming is causing our oceans to heat up immensly, the heat is there, but so much more powerful, causing the hurricane to be much more devastating.

Answer 11

Its hotter so therefore, more hurricanes form in that the warm mixes with the cold more and yah, sucks
