If you do know about them could you also provide a link to the article, thanks.
It is very difficult to prove that global warming was the actual cause of any one natural disaster, but it is possible to show that global warming has made the probability of natural disasters much higher. Hansen found that the probability of extreme temperatures is 10 times higher than in 1980. Recent research by Peterson and Stott found that the extreme heat waves and drought in Texas was 20 times more probable that it would have been in 1950. The warmer oceans have put more water into the air, and since temperature and humidity are two of the main factor determining the severity of weather events, it is likely that global warming plays at least some part in every natural weather disaster. The first reference below has links to the research.
Research by Munich Re, a giant secondary insurance company, has found that the frequency of severe weather events has more than doubled in the last 30 years and that the economic losses has increased significantly. A graph near the bottom of the second article below shows their data. If you have your insurance rates go up, you probably have global warming to thank for it.
I'll answer this quickly before I go out: It is very difficult to prove that global warming was the actual cause of any one natural disaster, but it is possible to show that global warming has made the probabilit Hope you find the answer you're looking for sahej!
I better answer this question sahej before I pop out to work :( There haven't been any. Hope you find the answer you're looking for sahej!
The Central China floods of 1931 were directly linked to Global Warming. Some people will say there was no correlation between man made CO2 and many of the natural disasters that occurred before 1970 but those people are Climate Change and Holocaust deniers.
There have always been 'natural disasters.' It's only a disaster if it affects mankind. Natures does what it does regardless what mankind callis it.
Massachusetts blizzard will I am sue be blamed on climate change and that may be a good call. Unfortunately a one time event like this can't be proved to be a result of climate change.
Of course storms are projected to be greater in intensity in the face of GW/climate change and this certainly could be an example of that increase in severity.
Look up for your self that sun spots are the real cause of the weather/climate.
The people who have studied the sun spots have accurately predicted the weather for over 6 years.
Don't get caught in the hyper-media sensationalized weather news. It's the same old weather. The evening news stations just discovered that it sells nearly as good as sex scandals, and it happens more often.
The Rise in global water temperatures changes wid and current patterns in the ocean. It is one of the contributors to the issues we face.
There is not a single "natural disaster" scientifically attributed to so-called "global warming".......Not One!!
Do you guys know of any natural disasters that happened recently due to global warming?
If you do know about them could you also provide a link to the article, thanks.
One to note is the Haiti earthquake as described by climate scientist Danny Glover although Pat Robertson said the devil did it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/15...
Greece. It went bankrupt paying for Global Warming. Other nations will follow.
Climate-wise, there is no Global Warming. It is a scam perpetrated by greedy men, who are obviously getting richer due to the fact.
rise in the level of water in the ocean which cause tsunami
With the 1344 metre rise in sea level last week, earthquakes are now expected in Torpoint at about 4pm today.
yes
There haven't been any.
