When hurricane Katrinia hit the gulf coast, did global warning have anything to do with it?

Answer 1

Of course it did.The size and strength of a hurricane is in a large part determined by the temperature of the ocean,more heat means more energy for the hurricane.

Answer 2

AHHH yes, the OLD GLOBAL WARMING myth rears it's UGLY head yet AGAIN. I LOVE these questions! Do you REALIZE Abby dear that only 10,000 years ago the earth was in a deep freeze? It's called an ICE AGE. The earth, if you were to know anything about geology, is in constant cycles. Dinosaur fossils are found on Antarctica, that was BEFORE the poles iced over, during a COOL DOWN period. Hurricanes happen. Weather happens. Us puny little parasitic being can not change the weather. We can't even PREDICATE the weather more than a few days ahead. How on earth can we predicate what will happen years ahead?

Answer 3

Hurricane seasons come and go in 20 year cycles. For 20 years, the hurricanes will be relatively mild in comparison to 2005. It just so happens that 2005 began a cycle of vicious hurricanes that we can expect for about the next 20 years.

Global warming IS occurring - no doubt about it. But there is absolutely NO scientific evidence that it is manmade. The earth - like hurricane seasons - goes through cycle of being warmer and being colder. We are coming out of an ICE AGE, so the temperature is bound to be increasing.

Al Gore and Bill Clinton are HARDLY what I would call subject matter experts. Please take everything they say about it with a grain of salt. Heck, just take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Answer 4

Maybe, the occurrence of hurricanes every year is on the rise, since they build strength from the warmth of the water temperature it seems only logical that the ocean is heating up and that higher water temperatures are creeping north. Katrina hit me in Miami when it first arrived, just a little blow, then in Mississippi. I was moving from Miami to New Orleans, didn't make it.

Answer 5

No, the global warnings did nothing to cause Katrina. But global warming did. Hurricane studies have shown recently that hurricanes are becoming more and more violent due to global warming.

Answer 6

Yes, global warming warmed the ocean, which caused more and larger hurricans to develop.

Answer 7

Sure, there were warnings for days in advance.

But I don't think the warnings caused Katrina, or had any effect on the storm. How could they?

Answer 8

If prayer can circulate a mountain, which Jesus pronounced it may do, then prayer can deplete Gustav. I pray that Gustav will deplete, and convey rain to plenty mandatory components, and reason minimum injury. in the call of Jesus. †Prayer Warrior At Your Request†

Answer 9

yes, according to Al Gore at least

Answer 10
