Cyclone season has not even begun yet on this side of the equator.  For such an intense hurricane to have formed already indicates something strange goin on.

Perhaps those future storms would be less deadly if those future nations were wealthier.

...it's usually considered conjecture to apply singular events to climate change.  Better to go with overall patterns and trends.

Since no single event could ever be "blamed" on Global Warming,we really do not have to worry..Nothing will be connected or made worse by global warming...I think it is a huge waste that so many people watch "Animal Planet" and many Nature shows that have no convincing discussion about climate change...As the World Burns will will all be so Politically correct...Polar Bear

As annoying as it is that "deniers" jump on every cooler than average day (or week, or month) as proof that global warming doesn't exist, it is equally annoying when any (every) dramatic storm is used as a 'portent of doom' related to global climate change.

Don't get me wrong; I believe that, in aggregate, unseasonable weather, violent storms, plagues of locusts, etc., are related to human-caused climate change, but it is very annoying to have the doomsday scenario trumpeted from the rooftops every time a major storm strikes, especially in light of the fact that we (that being the Royal We, the We who believe) are always saying that you can't predict weather patters from singular events.  I can only imagine the eye-rolling going on right now on the other side of the fence.

Well that is very interesting.  Do you have any evidence to back-it-up?

Do you know the reasons why Chris Landsea resigned from the IPCC?

Do you believe that severe cold such as the collapse of 172,000 power pylons in the Chinese electrical grid last January, is caused by AGW, and if so, Why?

The loss of the Spanish Armada?  (BTW, those big boats were driven by wind-power before anyone ever heard of CO2)

I look forward to your expanded wisdom.

That there is a connection between global warming and increasing disasters

How do you measure a disaster.....for instance if a high category cyclone/hurricane hits nowhere, how does that compare with it hitting in an area of high population density and vulnerability?

Increasing global populations and capital/insurance values?
