Re: au revoir New Orleans
[ QUOTE ]
LOL. You guys are screwed. The mayor (who sounds like an idiot) said something about being able to commadeere vehicles and property that it needs or something. God damn. I think think that means they can take your stuff or something. [/ QUOTE ] oh sht, are they going to come and take all my cds?! why do you say idiot? I've been gone for too long to keep up with politics, but my understanding is that Nagin was very highly regarded as a businessman, and is the most honest and competent mayor NO has had in ages.

You know how hurricanes got bad all of the sudden? Well expect them to get worse http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/glob_warm_hurr.html [/ QUOTE ] okay maybe I'm misremembering or heard wrong. without even reading your link, I know increasing ocean temperatures should be bad for storms. but still I remember being surprized just a few weeks ago when a neutral and informed news source mentioned that all these hurricanes were an expected cycle in the pattern independent of GW [kind of a pun...].

Re: au revoir New Orleans
From my link:
According to this latest study, an 80 year build-up of atmospheric CO2 at 1%/yr (compounded) leads to roughly a one-half category increase in potential hurricane intensity on the Saffir-Simpson scale and an 18% increase in precipitation near the hurricane core.

[/ QUOTE ] Reporters and science do not mix well. If you want a good source of information on this there is nothing better than NOAA. BTW, there is an independent cycle, but climate change will increase storm activity.

Checking this out, I think this thread is definitely worth a bump.
Never gamble against the odds.
