… all the people understanding basic geophysics and our Earth’s evolution
Imagine not spending billions in treasure, blood and screwed up generations to create yet more enemies
Imagine spending all that treasure on dealing with this brave new world barreling down on us

Judith Curry and the school of thought she adheres to, has been telling our society for decades that more accuracy is needed.
Unless scientists can accurately predict exactly how many hurricanes will spawn, how strong they will be and where they will land,
we need do little more than talk, lip service.
{Manmade global warming driven climate change means that this is our new normal
and it will be relentless and it will hurt and disrupt more and more for real !
Like we spoiled american's can't fathom.}
<blockquote>Manmade Global Warming is what turned hurricane Harvey and Hato into monsters.
This is what climate change means.
<blockquote>* Global warming is definitely directly related to that hot Gulf of Mexico waters !
* Global warming is definitely directly related to the fact that the atmosphere is holding more moisture and making it available for storm systems such as Harvey to collect and dump.
* Global warming is definitely directly related to the fact that our Jet Stream has gotten weirder and is current causing the stalling and
reversal of Harvey’s northward movement, thus multiplying the torrential rains.
* Global warming is definitely directly related to the fact that sea level is rising and thus adding substantial to damaging storm surges.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
The bottom line is that this sort of event is the new normal, there will be no return remotely like the twentieth century!
{<strong>Wind shear be damned. </strong> That extra energy and moisture are still going to be circulating so yeah, it'll be some other storm that the human simply is capable of accurately predicting - well there is one prediction that is certain as death, it will continue getting more intense and disrupt.
