Global Warming Expected to Intensify Hurricanes

DoraLives writes "Think this hurricane season was bad? Well according to the New York Times, a study was published online on Tuesday by The Journal of Climate indicating that warming ocean temperatures are going to make for stronger, wetter hurricanes in the coming years and decades. An abstract of the article concludes cheerfully enough that 'greenhouse gas-induced warming may lead to a gradually increasing risk in the occurrence of highly destructive category-5 storms.' Oh joy."

    The media is claiming that Dubya won the first debate.

    If the US population actually thinks this is true, then just give it all up, roll over and die.

    Bush's ass was kicked severly in the debate, over and over. He sat there fidgeting, stumbling, stuttering, blinking like a psycho, trying to respond to Kerry, while Kerry calmly, confidently, and succintly rattled off how Bush has hurt the USA and the world.

    Bush lied over and over, as if we all wouldnt see it, denying Kerry's proven statements. Yet the media wants bush in power and so reported differnetly.

    You dumbasses will probably let the oilman play for another 4 years, killing your sons and daughters in Iraq so that he can profit from the high oil prices.

    God forbid actual reasoning to interfere with a perfectly good anti-USA hate-Bush rant.
    The easiest way to silence critics are as soon as they present proper arguments and valid facts, that you say they are anti german, works every time.

    Somehow this whole discussion becomes about Iraq and oil. Parent is the definition of partisan, off-topic ranting and raving.
