florida

Man, there's always some hurricane in Florida, I don't eve care anymore.

...And, BF, you shouldn't. Hurricanes are our problem. Like if there's an earthquake in California we read about it in the newspaper headlines and two minutes later we're off doing something else.

Fine by me.

Global warming and human carbon-dioxide emissions are TWO separate topics!

That the Earth’s temperature is rising is a fact.
What’s still not agreed upon is WHY.
A lot of research points to CO2-emissions by humans, but why simply don’t have enough meteorological data to make conclusions (however CO2 isn’t good for anyone, and if there is a chance that’s the cause I’d rather cut back on it – better safe than sorry).

Global warming greatly affects weather. We will be getting stronger storms, some areas will get more rain and others experience harsher droughts.

Why should someone living hundreds of miles from a hurricane area and has no friends there PRETEND like he/she cares? I think it’s disgusting – running around and pretending to care about something that doesn’t affect you. Care about stuff you can DO something about – the rest is show.
That doesn't mean you have to insult or attack the people affected either.

The Earth goes through periods of warm and cold. We had an ice age 10k yeas ago, maybe the Earth is in a warming period. The Earth's tilt does change slightly and that effects the climate.

Florida is always at risk for hurricanes. It's in a major pathway. The best thing that can be done is to rebuild the homes to be stronger and hopefully they'll surive another storm.

Ivan is now "down" to 140, but that still a powerful Cat 4. If it hits Florida, well.........

Or save up money and move somewhere else

The Hurricane are horrible, it's awful that Florida is going thru all of this. My brother and dad both live there. MY dad has been by himself thru both hurricanes and now here comes the 3rd. He said he's nerves can't handle it. i can just imagine.

Man these Hurricanes this year were nothing but dissapointments. I mean what's the death toll, like 40 somthin? I dont know, what a pussy of a hurricane. why dont Hurricanes shoot for triple digets in the death toll? If were gonna get some destruction, i want some mayhem. Not a pussy ass class 2 hurricane.

hurricane warnings have become more reliable and have helped people get away from the danger areas. back 80 years ago, there were no warning and hurricanes hit cities that had no warning, with a huge lose of life

I resent that staement.

Do not use 'Brit' as an insult.

We dont have a president, hes a prime minister, and he isnt a 'lap dog' hes an ally, he goes to war because theres a nice little bit of paper somewhere that says he has to go if america go.

Dont listen to Mr Zero hes being a dick, i have some family friends in Florida and him being the arrogant person he is being in this thread is infuriating me, so please, feel free to cll him what you like.
Just dont insult britain and our prime minster when you yourself got angry at america and bush being bashed.

dude, Tony blair is the man. Blair diddnt have to go to war with America, regaurdless of the treadies. Blair would still have been the man even if he diddnt shoose to back america. i hear many people in england or atleast sheffield hate blair. Even my girlfriend (who is english) hates him, i asked why and she just gave me all of these positive actions that he did, i said well that sounds like he has done good things. She said yea,but he is just i dont know. After pausing for about ten minutes after saying i dont know, she went on some kind of spiel with him and the queen . this is when i stopped actually listening to the impressionable jibberish that came out of her head.

🙂

People hate tony blair because of the dossier on Iraq being 'sexed up'
For setting that guy up to take the fall for it, and the guy killed himself.

Although none of it was -really- his fault

Florida has not been hit by three hurricanes in a single season since 1964, and this season has been the worst in Florida since 1992. Charley, which hit Aug. 13, and Frances, which hit Sunday, caused up to $20 billion in combined damage in Florida.

AT 5 p.m. EDT today--Hurricane Ivan strengthened to a rare Category 5 storm capable of catastrophic damage, leaving Jamaica and aiming for the Cayman Islands with winds reaching 165 MPH with wind gusts over 200 MPH, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Saturday. Ivan has killed 56 people across the Caribbean so far this week, including 34 in Grenada and 11 in Jamaica.

Only three Category 5 storms are known to have hit the United States. The last was Hurricane Andrew, which hit South Florida in 1992, killing 43 people and causing more than $30 billion in damage.

Bacon, what if Ivan whipes out Disney World! Then we wont have our band trip to Florida🙁

Yeah, I'm like SO over all these hurricanes.
Dont live in Florida if it bothers you so much!

I agree with you omega

I think global warming does affect the weather in all parts of the world
melting the polar ice caps as well

The oceans temps are affected as well..i was watching something on tv and the oceans temp was 1 degree higher then last year..that one degree can do a lot to the weather
