Well if it is, then what caused all the cyclones and hurricanes that occurred in India before global warming started? Because India has experienced cyclones and hurricanes since the start of recorded history and probably long before that too, not just recently.

For one Cyclones are associated with Typhoons and Tornados with Hurricanes. The difference between the two is the direction of circulation. Cyclones and Typhoons rotate clockwise while Tornados and Hurricanes rotate counter clockwise the determining factor is gravity. South of the equator you get Cyclones and Typhoons and even toilets flush clockwise. North of the equator Tornados, Hurricanes and toilets move counter clockwise. Typhoons and Hurricanes are spawned from the rising warmth of the open seas. The global warming is merely increasing this natural occurrence and increasing the size and strength of the storms spawned. It is possible that areas not normally affected by these storms may very well be in the future if we don’t learn to control and even reverse this “Green House” effect. However the areas you mentioned have a history of storms already so would not be include in areas effected because of the rise in the oceans temperatures over the last 50 years or so. Anytime you are unsure of which way a low pressure area will rotate just go flush the toilet, the storms there will rotate the same direction.

Cyclones and hurricanes are the same thing. Hurricanes are more commonly used here in the U.S. whereas cyclones are more commonly used in India and other parts of the region.
And really, they are merely a weather occurrence. Some are strong, others weaken and die quickly. What you can argue is whether or not they're increasing strength and frequency is a product of global warming or just an active season.

Has there never been a cyclone in India? Cyclones happen every year and are a product of several factors including water temperature. The raising of the air temperature by an average of less than 0.1 C in a given year will NOT cause cyclones.

The latest scientific observations show that the warming cycle we are in right now actually reduces the effect of hurricanes and the like, but no one knows for sure.
We definitely had less storms last year than the year before.
That doesn't mean that the storms we had during the cooling period of 1940 to 1970 were any more severe however.

If "global warming" were causing more hurricanes, then there would have been lots of hurricanes in 2006, yet none hit the US.
It just goes to show how little so-called "experts" like Al Gore, David Suzuki, and their minion "scientists" know about the causes and effects of climate changes.

The Sun has a great deal to do with our weather...Sun spots, solar storms, etc have a great effect. Weather tends to run in cycles...I am old enough to remember the "impending New Ice Age" of the 1950's. My thoughts on Al Gore are that of Chicken Little ("The sky is falling"). It is strange that enough money placed toward Carbon Credits allows one to ignore the guidelines of clean energy. Al has a home which uses more electricity in a month than most people use in a year, but he can do that because he has paid for the right to do it. Does anyone else see this as a "Class System" in the Land of the Free?

I am new here and this is my first answer on yahoo. I can tell you that global warming has become a very serious issue here in India. We must understand the entire international framework of this issue. That is why I post this link...

Now I think it is possible that global warming can make weather conditions worse because there is a slight heating of the planet by 0.7 degrees in the last 100 years. This is my careful view, Madam, so please don't misunderstand me. It may also be possible that there is nothing that is happening because of global warming and these things just happen on there own.

There is absolutely no relation to the number of storms and any warming of the planet. The number of storms that the Earth is having is no different from the frequency of storms from the past.
To say that man made global warming increases the number and intensity of storms is just a tactic to scare you out of your money and to take your freedom.

Not likely, the atmosphere has been cooling in both hemispheres over the last few years. hurricanes thrive off of sea surface and tropospheric temperature gradients, it is more likely that global cooling would cause more storms than global warming.
