All over the world temperature rises, also from the sea. Scientists have computer models that long ago predicted this increase. Warmer seawater naturally leads to more severe storms, tsunamis, tropical fish unseen in former colder waters ... It is expected that there will be less hurricanes, but this will be more intense. Among other hurricanes Hagupit, Haiyan, Sandy, Irene, Omar, Ike, Gustav, Nargus, Wilma, Stan, Rita, Jeannie, Frances, Ivan, Elena ...

Then, of course, came Katrina. When Florida was the force still category 1. However, there were many deaths and the damage was enormous. And then what happened? Before the hurricane struck New Orleans, he came over warmer water. The warmer the sea water, the higher the wind speed and the amount of moisture. Katrina formed over Florida and over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, he became more and more powerful. Look at that eye. The effects were so terrible that they can not explain. This was new to the world. How could this happen in God's name? There was warned of stronger hurricanes. There were days earlier warned that the hurricane would break through the dam and would do damage. We must all together ask what to do with warnings from leading scientists
In a year with all that severe hurricanes there were more tornadoes than ever and Japan typhoons heavier than ever. According to the textbooks, there are no hurricanes in the South Atlantic. Brazil got there quite a that year. The 27 ° C limit, the temperature of the warm waters shift to colder waters. Hurricanes are thus more able to maintain their intensity and come down with great force, eg. Europe. In addition, the temperature rise by changing the place of the |
Source: hurricanes will occur to the east, so they start closer to Europe. At a slightly warmer atmosphere hurricanes can also be a further feeding on the condensation of that atmosphere, which results in an additional energy source. It is expected that these factors produces heavy revolving storms, heavier than we are used to. Western Europe may force 12 face more storms at the end of the 21st century. About once every two years, will strike such a storm, according to mathematical models of the KNMI. Thereby face tropical areas with intense monsoon seasons which will also last longer.
El Niño
Extreme drought in Australia and Southeast Asia, floods and landslides in South America, which is El Niño. The weather phenomenon occurs every 2 to 7 years in the Pacific Ocean in the southern hemisphere. Usually the wind blows there warm surface waters of South America to Australia and Asia, where it evaporates and comes down as rain. El Niño is reversed. The winds weakened it off so that the hot water flows back to South America where then falls heavy rain. It is very dry in Indonesia and Australia. In the south of the USA, we have also more storms and more rain needed for California because they contend there for years with extreme drought which is also self-inflicted by climate change. For other areas is likely to be a disaster. The biggest El Niño to date was that of 1997, when thousands of people died in floods. The damage ran up to 20miljard euros.

This is the "normal" process on the global warming during the coming El Niño are still powerful. American scientists have calculated that 3 ° C by the temperature rise in the sea water near South America making many of effectiveness is just as powerful and increasingly becoming storms. The rise in temperature is also fanned by strong winds in the atmosphere, says oceanographer Wenju Cai. The warming ocean enhances the wind, which in turn fueling the warming of the ocean in a positive feedback cycle.

Winston Churchill's warning
It stuck in the 30's a different kind of storm. An unprecedented horrific storm in continental Europe. And Winston Churchill warned the British people that this storm was of an entirely different nature and that he came down on them. Many people refused to believe that. He was the indecision was then said that "time delay, half-measures, appeasing, self-interest and procrastination is over. In its place we board a period of consequences. "The mistakes made in the past were not insurmountable yet. That luxury we did not. We did not ask for it but the problem is there now.
