Harvey threatens Texas

[B00Mer]

Climate is always changing so the answer is yes, but, keep in mind, there is no such thing as anthropological climate change. Also, there have been more intense storms than Harvey to hit TX, the 1900 storm that wiped out Galveston is one such storm.

You really are a mental midget... you're comparing a Hurricane in the 1900's when they didn't have the warnings or knowledge they do to say and that was a direct hit to Galveston... which is basically just a sand bar..

To this storm which because of the increased warmth in the atmosphere is bringing to sure what is being described as the one in 500 year storm..

Warmer air, warmer seas will bring in more moisture in the air... and if you can see that over 980 million cars on earth, factories and cutting of mass forests is not in creasing green house gasses in our atmosphere.... then you're not just stupid you're a fool.

Rockport has been whipped off the map up the coast.

The flooding will last for a month in some places

The other guy is an idiot but you are the one who is incorrect.
lol!
Jeez..that's TWO!
Oh yeah, a hitlary voter also?
Well, everyone knows after three strikes you're out!

The Bible had bigger storms........

The sea level has risen close to 4oo hundred feet in the last 12 thousand years and these nuts are worried about man made GW today?
Al Gore must be laughing at (all the dumbies) and the way they dropped their pants on the price of his latest sea side mansion when he bought it with his scammed global warming money, cause his video scared them.
( to scare people to change policy and get money?....Now that's REAL TERRORISM dooods!)

His first movie is so full of BS it can't be shown as a documentary except in stupid places, his second movie died broke because people (actual science at work) are seeing through his crap, but like they say, there are suckers born every minute eh?

wow NOT COUNTING LAND SUBSIDENCE they say sea level has risen 8 Inches since 1880 and 140 feet from 12000 years ago till about two thousand years ago...

40 days, then we can get hysterical.

 

[Danbones]

Naw, Not to worry! That's just a rain stat...in the fine print you'll note it says:
"does not apply to countries with yearly monsoon weather patterns"

As to "500 year storm"
Just reading how this is almost as big as Katrina was.

Some 500 years ago that was

Good measures of warning and rescue

In fact, excellent; so that very few casualties resulted.

The weird thing is that their homes are very weak to the wind .. so while the region is a region of storms and hurricanes, their buildings are very weak and frail .. had they been built with concrete foundations and pillars, they might have resisted the storms to some extent.

Moreover, their streets should be made to drain to the sea, after the cessation of the rain.

In addition, all people in the afflicted cities should be evacuated to a far north safe region ... because it is expected that rain will fall in all the days of this week.

A high dam/street (corniche) along the entire beach has to be done (instead of the wall with Mexico.)

 

[mentalfloss]

This is totally normal.

No climate change to see here, folks.

Houston braces for even more flooding with Harvey becoming catastrophic

I just picked up my niece and nephews from San Antonio at the airport.

This is totally normal.

We're the 7 other hurricanes over 70 years that have hit Houston because of Climate Change?

 

[Danbones]

Some folks who can't do politics think they can do weather?
lol
now that's funny right there

How Hurricane Harvey Became So Destructive

The mind-boggling amount of rainfall during Harvey is a function of the storm sitting by the Gulf of Mexico and continuing to draw moisture directly from it. Because of the orientation of the storm, Dr. Shepherd said, “you’ve just got this stream of moisture firehosing into the Houston region,” as the moisture is constantly replenished by the gulf. “This could go down as the worst flood disaster in U.S. history.”

“In some ways, I think this event is going to far surpass what we saw in Tropical Storm Allison,” Dr. Shepherd said. The atmosphere is not helping to push it anywhere else. “The steering currents that would normally lift it out of that region aren’t there,” he said.

Scientists are increasingly able to link some extreme weather events to climate change. What is clear is that rising global temperatures warm the oceans, which causes more water to evaporate into the atmosphere.

The buildup of moisture in turn contributes to the global increase in extreme rainfall, Kenneth Kunkel, a researcher with the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, said.

Without climate change as a factor, oceans are normally warm this time of year. But the Gulf of Mexico has been warmer than average lately, most likely feeding into the deluge.

No link to climate change in there. They danced around it.

Yeah I can read. They danced around it but did not outright say "because of Climate Change".

If it were a hurricane not dead on in the peak of Hurricane Season maybe you'd be onto something.

I think that anyone who lost their house to flooding should move away, and not be allowed to rebuild. It's obviously a poor choice of place to live.

 

[Danbones]

I wonder how many people who had to leave Texas were relocated there after katrina?

As it said above in the link I posted, Harve may be as bad as Katrina....which was just a couple years a go and may well have been a bigger storm.

Yea, you competely missed the obvious point that intensify doesn’t mean cause.

You can't fix Trumptard.

People from New Orleans fled to Houston after Katrina.

Maybe they should leave the Gulf?

So, disliking communnaziglobalists positionators like yourself, who want to destroy all our nations makes one a Trumptard?

wow that's just dumb
