Hurricane Harvey

I move faster than that when i move from the couch to get a beer in the ad breaks of the cricket!

I know, eh? But you'd be slower if you had to jump over dykes.

[pErvinalia]

I don't watch women's cricket..

Hurricane Harvey - I can't help but visualise Katie Price's blind son swinging hopelessly at Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.

You must drink plenty of beer then with the amount of ads. Like Aussie rules; they have an ad between the kicker placing and kicking the ball. I tried watching cricket on Sky. It was impossible. Between overs FFS. Lucky it was on the internet. I would never pay for Sky.

Nice game with Bangladesh though.

The ideological arguments over who should do what, how, and when, become insignificant before the elephant in the room. Climate change is having, and is going to have increasingly profound effects on society, social order, resource allocation and government, regardless of the political perspectives of those in power - and there's no denying that.

Climate change is a pink elephant in the room So far less numerous and weaker hurricanes, but that's just a coincidence since climate change is false.
Harvey is bad because it's parked dumping a lot of rain, nothing to do with any imaginary elephants or climate change.

Thanks for telling us what's what. I'll stick a silver star on the fridge door for you. Few people can post as convincingly as you. As a matter of fact, the only one I can think of just now who comes near is Redunderthebed, and he stopped posting when he discovered god.

Is that why 500 year hurricanes are coming annually.

Yes. They come in more frequently because it's a coincidence. Can't you read?

[Scot Dutchy]

Of course and the world's scientists have it all wrong and should listen to the orange scrotum.

What 500 year hurricane? Harvey wasn't even a 100 year hurricane. The only thing even slightly unusual is how it hung off to shore and moved slowly.

[Scot Dutchy]

Like they do every 500 years.

Stop quibbling. today’s ‘100-year floods’ may happen every three to 20 years, according to new research.

Last August, Hurricane Irene spun through the Caribbean and parts of the eastern United States, leaving widespread wreckage in its wake. The Category 3 storm whipped up water levels, generating storm surges that swept over seawalls and flooded seaside and inland communities. Many hurricane analysts suggested, based on the wide extent of flooding, that Irene was a “100-year event”: a storm that only comes around once in a century.

However, researchers from MIT and Princeton University have found that with climate change, such storms could make landfall far more frequently, causing powerful, devastating storm surges every three to 20 years. The group simulated tens of thousands of storms under different climate conditions, finding that today’s “500-year floods” could, with climate change, occur once every 25 to 240 years. The researchers published their results in the current issue of Nature Climate Change.
