Hurricanes Are Moving More Slowly, Which Means More Damage (npr.org)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Hurricanes are moving more slowly over both land and water, and that's bad news for communities in their path. In the past 70 years, tropical cyclones around the world have slowed down 10 percent, and in some regions of the world, the change has been even more significant, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. That means storms are spending more time hanging out, battering buildings with wind and dropping more rain. "The slowdown over land is what's really going to effect people," says James Kossin, the author of the study and a tropical cyclone specialist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He points to Hurricane Harvey's effect on Houston as an example of what slower storms can mean for cities. "Hurricane Harvey last year was a real outlier in terms of the amount of rain it dropped," he explains. "And the amount of rain it dropped was due, almost entirely, to the fact that it moved so slowly."
Man slashdot can't stop carrying this garbage. If the hurricanes were fast moving the liberals would blame it there fantastical religion of global warming.
That's why it changed from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change". Any event meets the model and requires that we stop using any fuels
Its funny how liberals constantly say there is no objective good or bad and everything is shades of gray but global warming is like Satan. There is absolutely nothing good that it does, its bad in every conceivable way even in ways that are logically contradictory in different stories. Even when they talk about stuff like black holes or the extinction of the human race they bring up the good it can do but Global warming is 100% evil.
