Hurricane Irene = Climate Change: Probably Not

Climate Change and Hurricanes are not easily separated.

A very nice piece was posted today at Dot Earth on why the happenings with Hurricane Irene are, most likely, not due to climate change. Some folks, including those I respect like Bill McKibben, have been claiming that Irene’s strength and path can be viewed as a climate change effect. But the best science we have so far seems to indicate that a changing climate may not strengthen the seasonal hurricanes coming out of the Atlantic.

Adam Frank’s article is here- Hurricane Irene = Climate Change: Probably Not

Thanks.

It would be interesting to know if it changes your skepticism at all. You won’t encounter any arguments about climate change in the past. It’s happened many times, but you need to learn how this episode is different.

Is it man made? Humans may have played a small part but we would have to be pretty full of ourselves to think that man “caused” it or it’s never happened before in the history of the Earth.

Just my 2¢.
