Thanks Joseph!
I wish I could hug ya! That's been my point for a long time and you said it much better than I could. THink 2050 and what the warm currents and eddies will be doing! You start talking Total Cyclone Heat Potential and that's what really makes tropical cyclones work. So it is not the sea surface temperature, but the depth to which warm water is stored in the ocean, at least a hundred meters.
I look forward to Part Two now. My little war, my friend, is over. -sammie
