> more frequent and stronger hurricanes Riight...... based on what, models? The actual data says less frequent and weaker hurricanes, which would make sense as the strength of storms is driven by temperature differential, and if the higher latitudes are warming faster, then the temperature differential will be decreasing, leading to less strong storms. The higher latitudes will warm faster, because the equatorial regions are pretty much as warm as they will get. This is due to the very high humidity, resulting in the formation of clouds which then cool the surface. It's effectively a thermostat that stops runaway warming. In reality, they just want gibs from the tax payers (not from the Government, the Government has nothing to give that they do not first steal).
