Why So Many Storms, So Powerful?


High water and air temperatures feed storms and give them energy. (Note that I disagree with the conclusion at the end of this report.)

This is a consequence of Global Warming which this administration denies.
The Bush administration's mantra on climate change is this: The science is not yet in to prove a link between man's gas-and-coal guzzling habits and rising global temperatures that are causing glaciers to shrink, polar ice caps to melt and seas to rise.

Yet, as USA TODAY's Dan Vergano reported Monday, not only is the science in, it is also overwhelming. Last week, the National Academy of Sciences and 10 other leading world bodies said there is "significant global warming" that requires urgent action.
