Freeper Logic: Global Warming to Reduce Frequency of Hurricanes

[Merrick]

Pay attention students, Professor Stupid from Freeper University has agreed to visit our class to enlighten us all on the potential impact global warming might have on the meteorological phenomenon of hurricanes:

Global warming is all about the polar ice caps melting. If that happens, cold water will be heading to the Atlantic thus reducing the spawning of tropical depressions. You need warm water and the warmer the better. The Coriolis effect brings the heated air to the poles (raises up from the equator then to the poles and down again to the surface).

1. Well, we have nothing to fear but....

ignorance such as this!

Posting without knowledge is terrifying. :eyes:

2. Idiot

Look at the data of water temps instead of spewing your lame theories.

... Warm water increases the strength of ANY ocean storm. They are basically heat engines. The warmer the water, the more severe the storm. How would cold water from the poles stay cold on the long journey to the tropics? It can't.

4. Questions for Dr. Stupid...

Global warming is all about the polar ice caps melting. If that happens, cold water will be heading to the Atlantic thus reducing the spawning of tropical depressions.

Alright, what magical force keeps the water from the melted ice caps cool? Especially when there is a weakened ozone layer? If the ice caps are melting, it is probably safe to assume that the oceans themselves are heating up. Why wouldn't water from the ice caps heat as it moved south (or north, depending on the hemisphere)?

You need warm water and the warmer the better. The Coriolis effect brings the heated air to the poles (raises up from the equator then to the poles and down again to the surface).

So okay, the Coriolis effect would, by Dr. Stupid's estimation, bring the heated air from the hemispheres to their respective poles, heating the ice caps and causing (again, by Dr. Stupid's estimation) an influx of cool water into the oceans thus causing the number of tropical storms and hurricanes to drop.

Once again, how is the water from the ice caps going to stay cool?

:crazy:

5. Those are really good questions

But unfortunately Dr. Stupid has another speaking engagement across campus on the topic of how mercury enriched drinking water strengthens the immune systems of infants, so he won't have time to answer.
