Hurricanes and globalwarming awareness2007

globalwarming awareness2007

An interdisciplinary team of researchers survey the peer-reviewed literature to assess the
relationships between global warming, hurricanes, and hurricane impacts.

Debate over climate change frequently conflates issues of science and politics. Because of their
significant and visceral impacts, discussion of extreme events is a frequent locus of such conflation. Linda Mearns, ofthe NationalCenter forAtmospheric Research(NCAR), aptly characterizes thiscontext:
“There’s a push on climatologists to say something about extremes, because they are so important. But that can be very dangerous if we really don’t know the answer”

(Henson 2005).

In this article we focus on a particular type of extreme event—the tropical cyclone—in the context of globalwarming awareness2007

(tropical cyclones are better known in the United States as hurricanes, i.e., tropical cyclones that form in the watersofthe Atlanticand eastern Pacific oceanswith maximum 1-min-averagedsurface winds thatexceed 32 m s –1 ).

In our discussion we follow distinctions between event risk and outcome risk presented by Sarewitzetal. (2003). “Event risk” refers to the occurrence of a particular phenomenon, and in the context of hurricanes we focus on trends and projections of storm frequencies and intensities. “Vulnerability” refers to “the inherent characteristics of a system that create
the potential for harm,” but are independent from event risk. In the context of the economic impacts of "globalwarming awareness2007" tropical cyclones vulnerability has been characterized in terms of trends in population and wealth that set the stage for storms to cause damage - awareness2007.

“Outcomerisk” integrates considerations of vulnerability with event risk to characterize an event that causes losses.
An example of outcome risk is the occurrence of a $100 billion hurricane in the United States. To calculate such a probability requires consideration of both vulnerability and event risk. This article discusses hurricanes and globalwarming from both of these
perspectives.

Global warming on Wiki

Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation into the future.

Global average near-surface atmospheric temperature rose 0.6 ± 0.2 °Celsius (1.1 ± 0.4 °Fahrenheit) in the 20th century. The prevailing

This essay by Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus was released at an October 2004 meeting of the Environmental Grantmakers Association, and it's been ruffling feathers ever since. Get the backstory

Scientists have long said that stronger and more frequent hurricanes would be a result of globalwarming awareness2007. It's an effect of warmer oceans.I have spent most of my career working in the environmental movement, as have Nordhaus and Shellenberger. They care deeply about environmentalism. It is for that reason that their critique cuts so deeply.
Thinking of the environment as a "thing" has had enormous implications for how environmentalists conduct their politics. The three-part strategic framework for environmental policy-making hasn't changed in 40 years: first, define a problem (e.g. globalwarming awareness2007 ) as "environmental." Second, craft a technical remedy (e.g., cap-and-trade). Third, sell the technical proposal to legislators through a variety of tactics, such as lobbying, third-party allies, research reports, advertising, and public relations.When we asked environmental leaders how we could accelerate our efforts against global warming, most pointed to this or that tactic -- more analysis, more grassroots organizing, more PR.

Global warming on Jupiter
A new storm and a new red spot on Jupiter hints at climate change, USA TODAY and dozens of other sourcesexplained yesterday. The temperatures are expected to change by as much as 10 Fahrenheit degrees at different places of the globe. At least close to the new spot and to the equator, nothing less than global warming is expected.
