Where is BP when we need them!?
Hurricanes get most of their energy from evaporating seawater to prevent the evaporation just have a BP ship leak a thin layer of oil over the water in front of the storms.
Come on BP!
Come on BP!
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

When air mass rises, something has to fill the void of the air mass rising. Big winds and storms, then when the heavily damp air hits the particulate from pollution, it releases the energy and water drops form and fall.
Water temp increase of .5? could have huge effects on weather patterns.
Carbon footprint of the industrialized world is changing the temp.
But there will be those who claim we have no effect on the planet, and to them I say, "pull your head out".
Glad you brought up evaporation. Since water evaporates faster at warmer temps, do you suppose it is a by product of global warming?

the earth has undergone temp changes as long as its been here. its just the in thing right now to talk about global warming like we can do something about it. gives people a cause I guess. good luck to those who think they can lower the temp of the earth. or raise it for that matter.

That's what they blamed to 1935 bemoth with 180MPH+ winds on, right? They also blamed one not hitting the USA for that past 10 years on that to, right?

i'm leaning towards those 2,000 holes we put in the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere with above ground nuclear testing before it was banned, we will never know why they actually banned it , all we know is there was a reason
sure as hell wasn't aerosol cans and vehicle emissions
How long would it take to raise the average global temp by 3 degrees?
How would it be accomplished?
Would doing the opposite change/reduce existing temps?
Exactly how much would either cost?
No topic is sillier than that of humans causing climate change.
The topic while somewhat poking fun at BP is regarding the actual science that is currently being studied to reduce the heat of evaporation of sea water in regards to Hurricanes but hey you don't have a science Forum so move it to something else.
A light film of oil over the sea water preventing evaporation into the storm is possibly feasible, especially if the oil were biodegradable.
Heartland Institute says more CO2 is good for the planet
The group points to increased plant and forest growth, bigger crop yields and longer growing seasons as benefits derived from rising concentrations of carbon dioxide.

In South America, on the equator, never heard anyone mention "climate change". You can put a dead stick in the ground and grow a tree. (Almost).
The real problem, that's being solved w/o lots of "Media" is air and water pollution but it would be hard to "suck" Trillions of Dollars from the U.S. beating that drum. Plus: You can take pictures !!! Define when, where and why it's happening.
Nope: Better to spread propaganda based on something "nebulous" and get the U.S. to take a big financial hit. While other countries get a free ride.
BP is busy trying to recover thier stock price which is still down almost 30% since the spill...
That is true but making a bet they would keep paying dividends in mid 2010 and early 2016 seems a good buy. Dividend payout has been 6% +. Brits have BP stock in their personal and company retirements. BP is of strategic / vital interest to Britain and BP gets their help.
$10,000 invested June of 2010 would be worth $16,000 today. $6,000 interest Plus a 4 point price increase. Not exactly good but could be worse.
should coat the Rio Grande with 2" of sludge...
Not a good idea, it'd kill the alligators.
