Isn't it scary how the storms keep getting worse and more destructive?

Glasshoppa, if car barrel down road at 60 mph and you stand on side and watch it go by, it doesn't do damage, correct??? If you step in flont of car, then it cause lotsa damage, correct?

Storm like car. If humans not build in way, no damage. If humans build in way, damage!

What is being damaged? Human infrastructure. Why? Because it's in the way of storms. The more we build in the way the more damage a storm of equal strength will cause.

There is no empirical evidence at present to suggest that either the rate or the intensity of hurricanes has increased because of anthropogenic (man made) global warming, as determined by a very recent study conducted the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmosphermic Administration (a very pro-global warming government agency):

"It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity. That said, human activities may have already caused changes that are not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of the changes or observational limitations, or are not yet confidently modeled (e.g., aerosol effects on regional climate)."

Land use and development cause far more environmental damage than global warming ever will...
