Rare South Atlantic Hurricane Heads Toward Brazil

jellisky writes "An unprecendented sort of weather event has been occuring recently, without much fanfare at all. A tropical cyclone in the south Atlantic is slowly drifting toward Brazil. The southern Atlantic ocean isn't exactly a hurricane hotbed, as pointed out by National Hurricane Center forecaster Jack Beven, "We know there hasn't been a hurricane in that area since at least the satellite era, the mid-60s at the minimum." The storm is a small one, though, but has estimated winds near minimal hurricane strength (74-95 mph). It's quite an interesting sight, perfect for piquing the weather curiousity that many of us have."

Can you elaborate ?

What exactly leads you to think the Pentagon report may be wrong ? Why do you think I am jumping to conclusions bonehead ? I just said it could be the cause.

They said weather changes will come sooner than almost everybody expected.

The fact is that our weather is changing. Can you deny that ?

It's been happening for some years already. Read this, from 1999.

From there, things are getting worse. Islands in the South Pacific abandoned by their residents as their ground water turns salty; Connecticut-size bergs calving off the antarctic ice mass; record floods in Europe followed by more record floods. Across northern India this year, record-breaking heat storms arrived before the monsoon, raising the temperature to 123 degrees in the shade--so hot that the birds were dropping dead from the trees.

So, please, explain to me why I am a shallow thinker.
