The Altera Centauri collection has been brought up to date by Darsnan. It comprises every decent scenario he's been able to find anywhere on the web, going back over 20 years.
25 themes/skins/styles are now available to members. Check the select drop-down at the bottom-left of each page.

“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter

I don't understand why he doesn't trust the NOAA's ENSO analysis through last year's hurricane season. Perhaps he has read their ruminations on climate change?
But at least with his last post Mobius seems to be getting warmer.

Maybe that's because I just directly quoted the NOAA site with my last link and graphic...
But then I trust their facts (you know, those pesky events that actually happened), whereas you are quoting their predictions of what they thought would happen (and have since been proved wrong, by my NOAA link for example) - which kinda makes you the world's biggest hypocrite considering you then decide not to believe the mainstream predictions regarding global warming...
When will you give up on this one-sided carnage? You seem to be doing the forum equivalent of repeatedly running into my fist with your face.
Mobius, if warmer waters in the E Pacific inhibit hurricane growth in the Atlantic, why will global warming increase hurricane activity? Wont that mean warmer waters in the E Pacific more often?
El Ñino doesn't just hang around, Berz. The water sloshes back and forth across the Pacific, leading to the opposite condition, La Ñina, a piling up of colder water in the W. Pacific. There are years in between without either.
In any event, increased hurricane activity isn't a necessary outcome of global warming. When you inject energy into a chaotic system, a higher stage of equilibrium can be reached or you could have increased chaos. Increased chaos is the most likely outcome, but there's still a lot about weather we don't understand.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Is anyone ****ing about with it? Just for the heck of it, I mean. Last I checked, CO2 was being produced as a result of our economic activity, not because we wanted to **** with the climate.

I understand that, but wont warmer waters in the E Pacific inhibit hurricane activity? If the oceans warm a degree or two, we will get fewer La Ninas and more El Ninos...

Ice ages are chaotic, the greenhouse effect moderates chaos. We get nasty tornadoes because of the chaotic collision of air masses with large differences in temperature and dew points. Reducing those differences with a warmer world will reduce tornadoes...and hurricanes. Every documentary I've seen on the ice age (or the mini ice age) claims hurricane activity was worse then. The cold dry air masses blowing over ice sheets creates an even greater disparity with the tropical air masses...
