    • Study Disputes Connection Between Greenhouse Effect And Hurricanes

      Posted by Billbar

      Scientists that link to crescent force of the hurricanes in the last years to the global heating didn't take into account the obsolete technology used to evaluate the power of the oldest storms, it says a study published on this Friday in the magazine Science. Chris Landsea's research, of the National Center of hurricanes (NCH) of the USA, it challenges the conclusions of two works published by respected climatologists last year. The methodology is good. There is no problem in the way as they analyzed the data", Landsea says, that is the responsible for sciences and operations in the center of hurricanes. "The problem is in the own data". The new study alleges that the historical data on hurricanes are obsolete, because new technologies allow a better estimate of the force of the storms. In short, the number every time larger of hurricanes classified in the most violent categories, 4 and 5, it would not be owed to a real increase in the amount of those storms, but in the capacity to classify them correctly.

    Study Ties Warming to Intense Hurricanes

    One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: that would be a site you should visit.
