What Triggered Sandy

Completely irrelevant. Ditch the all-caqps, too.

It is CO2 global warming then?

Before guessing you should look at facts. The tropical storm that became Sandy formed in the Caribbean Sea. Not off the New England Coast.

I have an idea of what triggered Sandy, but it's quite controversial.

Doesn't sound like much of a controversy if it's just an idea.

Dang, I hate it when stuff like that happens. It's the curse of us helpful linking folk. To my hilarity (probably nobody else's) I spotted an ancient link I 'd given that looked plain absurd. On consideration, I'm fair pleased. Late contenders must figure for themselves.

(sarcasm on)

No man, you know it was them guys in harp that caused it just so the pres would get lots of coverage, you know its all a conspiracy man.

(sarcasm off)

the scary part is I bet someone believes this.

It's the damned butterflies!!!!!

..and thus began the war on butterflies. For the good of our nation.

Yes. If we kill all of the butterflies, we won't have anymore hurricanes.

Saving the world, one leap at a time.

No, just paint 'em Red, White & Blue. They'll get the general idea and make it rain like hell on those commie pinkos over in You Know Where.

You're taking it a little hard, mate. I rather suspect those comments were to be taken as stated - tongue-in-cheek. That's the way they read to me, at any rate.

Alas, it is all true. Ya got me there, bro.

Huh?

Shirley you didn't think I was serious about killing off the butterflies.

Why do I feel this way? The Voices told me to. Good thing eight of them said "Don't shoot," huh? Bad acid, man. Bad acid.

Too bad you marked your post OT. :(

Two reports I saw say the 1 degree rise in the gulf and the exceptional change in the jet stream that caused the severity of Sandy is caused by Global CO2 warming. And that I don't believe.

Reports also states that the reduced ice cap is because of CO2 global warming.

One report predict that our ocean level will rise by 60m.

The cold return flow from the north (that was less this year) passes under the gulf circulation and surely have a slight cooling effect on the gulf stream .

Global warming took a pause 16years ago. We are just being feed old scary news...

Next, they will swear that an ice age is coming soon so send your money to their cause...

This has the signature of HAARP all over it.

Isn't that to send the bad weather to our enemies? Or maybe they got tired of all the BS in Washington DC.

You mean all the world's AM stations couldn't pull it off? Gigawatts of radiated power couldn't heat the ionosphere none? Had to rely on some lil' ol' pissant HF transmitter in Alaska to change the weather? If you're unmoved by that difference in scale, then how do you know my mobile didn't do it all by it's lonesome?

I'll call you when I need more tinfoil.

NEXT!

I'll give you the GA because I am sooo tired of hearing all of the mumbo-jumbo about HAARP and weather control and blah, blah, blah.

I issued an open invitation to debate on George Noory (conspiracy-central radio forum) about HAARP. He patently ignores my offers.

He had an "expert" on his show the day after Sandy caused death and destruction. That a-hole had the nerve to blame Sandy on the government in some weird attempt to validate their "fears" about HAARP and the government...again...blah, blah, blah.

That kind of talk defames the memory of the lives lost to a natural disaster.

A guy who writes for the local newspaper, says he is a weather freak, blames it on the jet stream which is affected by warming in the arctic. Arctic warming leads to a slower jet stream which can lead to more extreme weather which we've certainly had in NE Ohio.

The only thing I'd like to add to this discussion is what caused the storm to turn inland so quickly. It took a lot of people (including me) by surprise. I mean I knew that was the projected path, but it really moved quick. I was almost as though it ran into a jet stream going in reverse. The only thing that makes sense to me is that the jet stream was holing it off shore in the first place until it got that far north.

Your right about the jet stream, the way it was able to suck in Sandy right into NJ and destroy the coastline like it did. It will never recover from that hit. NJ, NY will never be the same. And She just kept heading NNW for days after landfall.

Amazing storm as far as it's distructiveness.

Yeah but what got me was what allowed it to move to the west so fast. I mean the jet stream is blowing from west to east.

Here's a quick explanation:

Thanks Kramarat! I kinda figured that the two lows had combined there. But I was just really surprised to see how quickly that storm rushed inland. Looking at the maps it seemed as though it was blown in there. I suppose the jet stream's flow north played a part in it.

Yeah. It was a good question. It kind of looks like the jetstream was almost sucking it in.

Living in NC, that jetstream position can make huge differences. It's always nice in the middle of winter, when we get a push of warm air from the gulf.

Hoo haa...nice theory. As one who monitors the undersea movement of magma I can say that not nearly enough energy is released to have any effect on the water column in anything but the shallowest of various bodies of water...Yellowstone lake being a fantastic example of this non-existent threat.

4.6 to 5? You need to monitor the worlds quakes more closely...we have those nearly a hundred times a day in the least active areas. The North Pole's geologic activity is almost entirely made up of strike-slip faults (with a notable non-existence of land mass), less the northern reaches of the Mid-Atlantic ridge which sits neatly off of the eastern side of Greenland and comes nowhere near the hurricane's birthing grounds in the Caribbean.

Sandy's turn inland at New England was partly due to colder surface water...

Osama bin Scuba Diving?

Well, I was under the impression that the "B" in SCUBA stood for breathing. I don't think so, for him, at any rate.

I really think Sandy was triggered by all the industrial waste that was disposed off in the water by big industrialists.

What does China's industrial complex and environmental practices have to do with a hurricane forming in the tropical Atlantic?

I think it was a Russian spy sub.

i am sure it was this

strange i forgot to set it to off-topic, but i cannot do it when i edit it?
