Hurricane not caused by Global warming?

The latest research suggests that the rise in hurricane frequency since 1995 was just part of a natural cycle, not as UN’s climate panel used to claim.

Research by hurricane scientists may force the UN’s climate panel to reconsider its claims that greenhouse gas emissions have caused an increase in the number of tropical storms.

The benchmark report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said that a worldwide increase in hurricane-force storms since 1970 was probably linked to global warming.

It followed some of the most damaging storms in history such as Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans and Hurricane Dennis which hit Cuba, both in 2005.

The IPCC added that humanity could expect a big increase in such storms over the 21st century unless greenhouse gas emissions were controlled.

… However, the latest research, just published in Nature Geoscience, paints a very different picture.

It suggests that the rise in hurricane frequency since 1995 was just part of a natural cycle, and that several similar previous increases have been recorded, each followed by a decline.

    Until now, there is no unanimous agreement of scientists, about global warming. Keep the conversation back among the world’s scientists to review global warming in the world.

    nice info friend, no body know natural disaster will come. We don;t know if this is because human error or really natural disaster. So, i think we as human should be prepare and keep maintain our environment to prevent any disaster.

    Jadi teringat dengan begitu banyak kejadian alam terutama gempa gempa lagi. Mudahan saja para ilmuan bisa menemukan informasi hal yang lebih baik daripada sekedar prediksi
