New paper blames typhoon Haiyan on the global warming ‘hiatus’
New paper blames typhoon Haiyan on the global warming “hiatus”
http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2014/10/new-paper-blames-typhoon-haiyan-on.html
A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters notes “Though there is speculation to associate global warming with [the intensity of Haiyan], existing research indicate that we have been in a warming hiatus period, with the hiatus attributed to the La Niña-like multi-decadal phenomenon. It is thus intriguing to understand why Haiyan can occur during hiatus.” Although typhoon Haiyan was, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Administration, the seventh strongest storm to hit the Philippines, Typhoon Sening, which hit during the low-CO2 1970’s ice age scare, was the strongest storm recorded. According to the paper, the “La Niña-like multi-decadal” “hiatus” “suggests that as the western Pacific manifestation of the La Niña-like phenomenon is to pile up warm subsurface water to the west, the western North Pacific experienced evident subsurface warming and created a very favorable ocean pre-condition for Haiyan.” However, multi-decadal La Niña-like and El Nino-like periods have occurred for many millennia and there is no evidence of any link of these natural phenomena to carbon dioxide levels, and thus, no evidence of any link of Haiyan to either AGW or the alleged “hiatus” of AGW. Global warming “hiatus deniers” such as Cook’s ‘Skeptical Science’ blog and his side-kick propagandist Dana Nuccitelli continue to foolishly claim global warming is “accelerating,” despite the hundreds of peer-reviewed papers in the literature now acknowledging the 18+ year “pause” or “hiatus” of global warming, including this new paper as well. Category-6’ Supertyphoon Haiyan in Global Warming Hiatus: Contribution from Subsurface Ocean WarmingI.-I. Lin*, Iam-Fei Pun and Chun-Chi LienWith the extra-ordinary intensity of 170 kts, super-typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in November 2013. This intensity is among the highest ever observed for tropical cyclones (TCs) globally, 35 kts well above the threshold of the existing highest category of 5. Though there is speculation to associate global warming with such intensity, existing research indicate that we have been in a warming hiatus period, with the hiatus attributed to the La Niña-like multi-decadal phenomenon. It is thus intriguing to understand why Haiyan can occur during hiatus. It is suggested that as the western Pacific manifestation of the La Niña-like phenomenon is to pile up warm subsurface water to the west, the western North Pacific experienced evident subsurface warming and created a very favorable ocean pre-condition for Haiyan. Together with its fast travelling speed, the air-sea flux supply …

Gore: ‘Fertility management’ is needed to reduce the number of Africans to help ‘control the proliferation of unusual weather’
Former Vice President Al Gore and Microsoft founder Bill Gates said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that contraception is a key in controlling the proliferation of unusual weather they say is endangering the world. “Depressing the rate of child mortality, educating girls, empowering women and making fertility management ubiquitously available … is crucial to the future shape of human civilization,” said Gore, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work on global warming. Gore said Africa’s population is expected to surpass India’s and China’s by the mid-21st century and will be more than both combined by the end of the century.

According to a 2008 IIASA report, if the world stabilizes at a total fertility rate of 1.5—where Europe is today—then by 2200 the global population will fall to half of what it is today. By 2300, it’ll barely scratch 1 billion. Extend the trend line, and within a few dozen generations you’re talking about a global population small enough to fit in a nursing home’
