Backwater, Ontario.
:glasses3:Makes them appear intelligent in their own eyes?

Lack of a better word. Although there must be one.

A love of the trite.

Many things influence the scribes and talking heads, not the least of which is they probably don't give a ****. But, would like a raise.

Hurricanes are fueled by heat...I suppose you can't say for certain that any one of Barry Bonds home runs was caused by steroid use either. :lol:

Certainly heat differentials, yes. 'Heat' is relative.

'Heat' is relative.

Of course it is, and there is relatively, more heat stored in the oceans. It's a quantity that is increasing...The maximum sustainable wind a hurricane can achieve is a mathematical function of the temperatures of the atmosphere and ocean, just like the maximum distance Bonds or any of the other juicers could hit a baseball is a function of their muscle strength.
