Surface Detail ★★★★☆ (1673)	The most powerful tropical cyclone ever observed, with sustained wind speeds of 200 mph and gusts of 245 mph, is currently bearing down on the western coast of Mexico. Its minimum central pressure of just 880 mbar is also a new record. Let's hope the people there are prepared and survive this.

Surface Detail ★★★★☆ (1673)	It's not proof of anything (the concept doesn't exist in science), but it does tally with IPCC projections of increasingly frequent intense storms as the Earth warms. It therefore supports the current consensus on the causes and effects of global warming.

Surface Detail wrote: ...but it does tally with IPCC projections of increasingly frequent intense storms as the Earth warms. Well, that certainly is their Nostradamus-type prophecy, and what they claim will be "signs" of the prophecy coming true. Of course others who are prophets of Global Cooling claim intense weather as "signs" of the truth of their wisdom, e.g. the windiest place on earth is one of the coldest, the most intense storms in the solar system are on the coldest planets, etc.. I find both faiths to be fascintating. But the IPCC's is yours, you say? Surface Detail wrote: It therefore supports the current consensus on the causes and effects of global warming. I'm just curious, how does this hurricane support your belief the earth is warming instead of cooling? I don't think i can [define it].

Surface Detail ★★★★☆ (1673)	What are you gibbering about? It's quite simple. The consensus opinion of climate scientists is that emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are causing the planet to warm. One of the predicted consequences of this is that intense storms will become more frequent. The fact that intense storms are indeed becoming more frequent therefore supports the theory behind the consensus.

That's fine, but there is no such thing as "climate science" and "climate scientists" are simply a bunch of wacked-out (and typically dishonest) religious fanatics, typically analogous to televangelists. Their consensus about anything is about as valuable as the College of Cardinals' consensus that Jesus Christ really did die for our sins.

See, for example: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/309/5742/1844.full "We examined the number of tropical cyclones and cyclone days as well as tropical cyclone intensity over the past 35 years, in an environment of increasing sea surface temperature. A large increase was seen in the number and proportion of hurricanes reaching categories 4 and 5. The largest increase occurred in the North Pacific, Indian, and Southwest Pacific Oceans, and the smallest percentage increase occurred in the North Atlantic Ocean. These increases have taken place while the number of cyclones and cyclone days has decreased in all basins except the North Atlantic during the past decade." And that's from 2005; intense storms have continued to increase in frequency since then.

Frescomexico ★★☆☆☆ (179)	As a postscript to this thread, which seems to have died either due to a lack of interest or an excess of condescending insults: I was in Puerto Vallarta, just north of Patricia's landfall, at the time. Where I was, there was hardly any wind and no rain, just overcast skies. It needs to be said that there was a low mountain range between me and landfall. Near landfall there was moderate damage, but the mountains literally knocked the wind out of Patricia.

It needs to be said that there was a low mountain range between me and landfall. Near landfall there was moderate damage, but the mountains literally knocked the wind out of Patricia. Once, a hurricane hit the islands of Hawaii & the mountains disrupted that storm. Similarly, a science team of Professor Mark Z. Jacobson, ran computer simulations, indicating that a very large Wind Turbine Farm could siphon enough energy from the leading edge of a hurricane, to disorganize the storm center. Indeed, enough electrical power could be generated from the storm's leading edge to downgrade the hurricane.
