Philippine catastrophe

[flacaltenn]

Your idiotic claim makes a mockery of your whole cult of reality denial.

I don't think so. Storms are driven by DIFFERENCES in temp, pressure, humidity, etc. NOT by those variables alone. They are also driven by the rotational energy of the planet. Physics is no different on Jupiter to my knowledge.

And another stupid and gullible retard chimes in with more ignorant nonsense.

The physics are the same, fecalhead, but everything else - size, composition, gravity, pressure, size and depth of atmosphere, internal heat, solar intensity, etc. - are different.

Not that you know anything about 'physics' anyway, you poor bamboozled stooge.

Your little science lesson on Jupiter above ^^^^ says I'm correct. What drives the storms on Jupiter is NOT the hot interior, But the THERMAL GRADIENT with respect to those cooling rates at the surface.. AND the rotational energy of the planet. Add some CO2 to the Jupiter atmos --- those storms would weaken because the thermal GRADIENT would weaken.

YES PRINCESS --- JUPITER IS DIFFERENT. But atmos STORMS are not.

Back on this planet.................
ADDING HEAT does not create or intensify storms if the surface AND the ATMOS warm at similiar rates. AGW theory says that they do. At least for that section of atmos that MATTERS to a storm..

No it doesn't. Your claim that the material about Jupiter that I posted supports the idiotic claims made by you and CrazyFruitcake says that you're an ignorant retard who can't comprehend what he reads.

What drives the storms on Jupiter is NOT the hot interior,

As I just said, you're an ignorant retard who can't comprehend what you read. Case in point:
Internal Heat Drives Jupiter's Giant Storm Eruption
NASA

The Interior of Jupiter
This internal heat source is presumably responsible for driving the complex weather pattern in its atmosphere, unlike the Earth where the primary heat source driving the weather is the Sun.

ADDING HEAT does not create or intensify storms

Bullshit! Increased sea surface temperatures provide more energy to fuel storm intensity, as many scientific studies have shown.

if the surface AND the ATMOS warm at similiar rates.

They don't.

AGW theory says that they do.

More of your ignorant bullshit, fecalhead. You just make up your own little pseudo-"facts" like that one to try to support your moronic claims.



Exploring the Links Between Hurricanes and Ocean Warming
Yale - Environment 360
15 SEP 2010
(excerpts)
One of the more contentious issues facing climate scientists is whether rising ocean temperatures will cause more frequent and powerful hurricanes. In an interview with Yale Environment 360, Kerry Emanuel, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says that amid the uncertainty, one thing seems likely: an increase in the most potent — and destructive — storms. In 2005, just weeks before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, MIT meteorologist Kerry Emanuel published a paper in Nature saying that the wallop packed by hurricanes was increasing as sea surface temperatures climbed. His research was cited by many as evidence that the world could expect more Katrinas in the 21st century. But in 2008, writing in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Emanuel seemed to say, "Whoa. Not so fast." While hurricanes might become more powerful, Emanuel said, there will likely be fewer hurricanes overall this century, and hurricane trends would vary widely around the globe.

As the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season winds down, Emanuel spoke with Yale Environment 360 senior editor Fen Montaigne about his current thinking on the issue of hurricanes and climate change. The bottom line, said Emanuel, is that sea surface temperatures in the tropical waters where hurricanes and typhoons form have increased by nearly 1 degree F in the past century. Higher sea surface temperatures are likely to lead to more powerful and destructive hurricanes — categories 3, 4, and 5 — while, paradoxically, a warming atmosphere will probably reduce the number of less powerful storms. "The main point of that [2005] paper is that there was this fantastic relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane power…It surprised us how much power increase you got with just a little bit of increase in the sea surface temperature."

 

[flacaltenn]

Hows come you didn't comment about the first failed attempt to pass off Kerry Emanuel as a consensus on the science? Her paper you posted was obviously flawed and NOT supported by the wider climate/weather community. Got ANYONE of repute besides him/her?

You just ignore what you want to --- don'tcha? And you can't even INTERPRET the crap you post. Obviously, you're not capable of USING THAT INFO on Jupiter that you posted. Or analyzing it.
My comments were (of course) correct and accurate --- no matter HOW BIG or colorful your font gets..

 

[whitehall]

For the sake of your mental health lefties, please don't blame the Philippine Typhoon on American decadence.

I am missing the connection between the weather on Jupiter and the EPA gas mileage of my Toyota.

Can someone help me out here?

More of your idiotic unsupported claims, fecalhead. The scientific consensus (everywhere on Earth except for that dark place two feet up your lower intestine where your head is lodged) is, in fact, that higher sea surface temperatures have already increased ocean storm intensity and will increase their intensity even more in the future as the ocean temperatures continue to rise due to AGW.

Hurricanes Whip Up Faster in Warming World, Study Suggests
LiveScience
September 07, 2012
(excerpts)
Global warming may fuel stronger hurricanes whose winds whip up faster, new research suggests. Hurricanes and other tropical cyclones across the globe reach Category 3 wind speeds nearly nine hours earlier than they did 25 years ago, the study found. In the North Atlantic, the storms have shaved almost a day (20 hours) off their spin-up to Category 3, the researchers report. (Category 3 hurricanes have winds between 111 and 129 mph, or 178 and 208 kph.) "Storms are intensifying at a much more rapid pace than they used to 25 years back," said climatologist Dev Niyogi, a professor at Purdue University in Indiana and senior author of the study.

The work helps support the theory that rising ocean temperatures have shifted the intensity of tropical cyclones, which include hurricanes and typhoons, to higher levels. In the past century, sea surface temperatures have risen 0.9 degree Fahrenheit (0.5 degree Celsius) globally. Scientists continue to debate whether this increase in temperature will boost the intensity or the number of storms, or both. Tropical cyclones form when warm, moist air over the ocean surface fuels convection. The storms act like heat engines: The warmer the ocean surface, the more energy there is to power a storm's fierce winds. As such, scientists have hypothesized global warming and the associated rising heat of sea surfaces would fuel intense hurricanes. Niyogi and his colleagues found an overall shift toward more intense storms in all ocean basins except the East Pacific. "They are getting stronger more quickly, and also higher category. The intensity as well as the rate of intensity is increasing," said Niyogi. And that makes it a simple numbers game – with more strong storms forming in the oceans, the chance of having powerful hurricanes hit the coast rises.

You just ignore what you want to --- don'tcha?

Coming from you, fecalhead, that is soooo ironically hilarious.

And you can't even INTERPRET the crap you post. Obviously, you're not capable of USING THAT INFO on Jupiter that you posted. Or analyzing it.

Yeah, right, silly me. I guess I just lack your access to the Denier Cult Interpretron 3000 that you're obviously using that can turn headlines like "Internal Heat Drives Jupiter's Giant Storm Eruption" and statements like "This internal heat source is presumably responsible for driving the complex weather pattern in its atmosphere, unlike the Earth where the primary heat source driving the weather is the Sun" (my post #38) into "What drives the storms on Jupiter is NOT the hot interior" (your claim in post #41). Or, maybe, you're just a clueless brainwashed retard who can't understand simple English.

My comments were (of course) correct and accurate --- no matter HOW BIG or colorful your font gets..

Your comments were, as usual, ignorant and insane --- as they will continue to be, no mater how many times you repeat them.

Are you assholes SERIOUSLY doing the global warming argument in the middle of this?? Seriously?!

Typhoon Haiyan left the Philippines early Saturday on a path toward Southeast Asia, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tweeted. Forecasters said the storm was expected to pick up renewed strength over the South China Sea on its way toward Vietnam.

As CBS News' Seth Doan reports, Vietnam is expected to get the worst of it this weekend and then the storm heads towards China - where officials here have already warned people to prepare for "high seas" and "monster waves."

Nearly 750,000 people in the Philippines were forced to flee their homes.

[skookerasbil]

There is no scientific evidence that global warming is causing worse storms.

Bullshit!

On the one hand, you're way too retarded and ignorant about science to comprehend just what would constitute "scientific evidence" on this subject.

On the other hand, you're way too brainwashed by the fossil fuel industry propaganda to even know whether on not there is any evidence and too bamboozled and misled to accept the scientific evidence if you did see it.
