Atlantic warming turbocharges Pacific trade winds

It's all BS. It rained at Denny's house yesterday. Drought over, Global Warming over. Now I'm wondering if California was even having a drought or was it just more scientist scare tactics.
 
California has had droughts for the past several hundred years. This drought was surpassed in dozens of years in the 1800s and early 1900s. You know, before there were many cars at all. Most people rode horses.


Just four years ago, we had 150% of average rainfall.

It's part of the scam to make any natural event into caused by global warming.

It's downright laughable that smart people buy into it.

There's a lot of money for scientists in drought alarmism. It would be stupid not to believe in a conspiracy.

This forum has taught me to believe in all conspiracies.
 
So in 2010, we had massive rain storms that caused some serious flooding here.

But this year, there's a drought. Oh my. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

The sky really is falling.
 
The first thing we do, let's kill all the scientists.

Let's keep them honest. That would be a better approach.

Let me alone. Dost thou use to write thy name? or
hast thou a mark to thyself, like an honest
plain-dealing man?

Sir, I thank God, I have been so well brought up

From a PR standpoint, it was surely an ingenious idea: Let's name hurricanes after leading members of Congress who deny that humans are causing global warming! That's the gist of the "Climate Name Change" campaign that launched last month, and the promotional video has already garnered over 2 million YouTube views.

There's just one problem: Thus far this season, the hurricanes haven't shown up. In fact, the dearth of hurricane-strength Atlantic storms up until now, despite blockbuster pre-season forecasts, counts as downright mysterious. "We've never seen this level of inactivity with the ocean conditions out there now," says meteorologist Jeff Masters, who is co-founder of Weather Underground, a popular meteorological website. There has even been speculation that 2013 might rival 2002, a year in which the first hurricane of the season didn't form until September 11.

...

What does that say for predictions of worse hurricanes due to global warming? Given this uncertainty about a single hurricane season, maybe it's no surprise that while the relationship between hurricanes and global warming has been studied for decades, unambiguous and uncontested scientific answers have been hard to come by. For years, scientists have argued that warmer ocean waters ought to lead to more powerful hurricanes: After all, the oceans are a hurricane's energy source. It seems straightforward enough, but debates have raged nonetheless, particularly about whether we can detect any changes to hurricanes that have happened already.

I wonder what Neil Barofsky would have to say about all of this.
 

Baloney! You have been had. I just pulled a Crib file for the North Pacific from the West Coast to out past the Hawaiian Islands. It shows as of right now, force 2 winds in the trade wind area (20n lat.) except for a the area of a small low 150 miles in diameter about halfway between Mexico and the islands.

The North Pacific Pilot chart for August show to expect force 2 to 3 winds in this area during the month of August. This chart is compiled by observations at sea for over 200 years now.
The trade winds are blowing right where they should be expected and the same velocity as sailors have experienced for several hundred years now.

I question the experience of the "scientist" who came to this dumb ass conclusion! Did he make is observation in a squall?

Skimming the article for a couple of seconds, it's pretty clear that he's talking about increased winds over the past 20 years, not right this minute.
The fact that the winds are relatively calm right this minute is pretty meaningless (unless of course you are going sailing...).

So much for barfo's theory.

Currently the winds are at a level never before seen on observed records, which extend back to the 1860s.

Unless there's a different meaning of "currently" that he goes by.

Winds currently the same clear across the Pacific as they have been for several hundred years
speaks steadiness to me, not sure why you don't get it.

Uhm, first of all, there is no attribution on that story, so I'm not sure why you refer to 'he'.
Secondly, you realize this is a story about the research, not the research itself?
Thirdly, yes, you are supposed to understand from context that 'currently' does not mean 'right this very minute', but rather 'over the last couple of decades'.

Well, it's been hot in August in Portland for hundreds of years, and it's hot today. So I guess the weather in Portland never changes.

Summer is clearly evidence of global warming.
