    You guys should watch "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. It really does have a lotta facts straight and even if you don't believe in Global Warming, curbing it cant hurt. Temp levels are hell of a lot higher than the normal earth cycle's temperatures. Global Warming is an inevitable truth & fact and must be curbed.

    I'm afraid you're wrong there vidcc, huricanes, (cyclones, typhoons), all form at sea, and they don't form until the sea temperature reaches a very critical point, 26.5 °C (80°F), for every hurricane that forms, many more don't quite make it. If you increase the sea temperature even a half degree it will increase the number of hurricanes.

    I think Al Gore should be curbed; others agree...

    That site, despite the name, isn't even Canadian. They tried, however; badly Photoshopped images of Bloc leaders are a hallmark of every reputable news source up here. Maybe next time they'll remember to remove their State-centric ones and fool us all.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    The first quote there was from Bob Carter ... and guess who 'funds' him?

    Exxon-Mobil's funding of climate change skeptics.

    And now you are saying what the scientist are not.

    A hurricane doesn't form because the sea reaches a certain temperature, it requires other factors to exist. The rising of the sea temperature doesn't cause those other factors.

    Right wingers have been attacking Al Gore saying he said there would be more hurricanes, then cited that 2006 was the quietest season in a decade as proof that Gore was wrong. The problem is that Gore didn't say that there would be more hurricanes, he said hurricanes would be more intense.

    Add to that there are other factors that can reduce the number and intensity of hurricanes on a year to year basis.

    Storms were starved for fuel after ingesting masses of dry Saharan dust and air over the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists say the storm-snuffing dust was more abundant than usual this year.

    In the season’s peak, storms were curving right like errant field goals. High pressure that normally hunkers near Bermuda shifted far eastward, and five storms rode the clockwise winds away from Florida.

    Finally, a rapidly growing El Nino, a warming of water over the tropical Pacific Ocean, shifted winds high in the atmosphere southward. The winds left developing storms disheveled and unable to become organized.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    No shit???? A bunch of right wingers (that may be posing as Canadians) think Al Gore should be curbed

    I can't say I'm surprised though, free speech and freedoms in general are on the right wing hit list of enemies that must be destroyed

    I didn't say 'because', I said 'until'.

    In my area we have had a record number of cyclones, and they were, on average, more intense.
