There is no evidence any warming caused any airstream deformation. Indeed, it is the same cyclic behavior that caused many to babble about global cooling, as seen in figure two here... http://www.sciencenews.org/view/download/id/37739/name/CHILLING_POSSIBILITIES<br />Hey! Guess what Doc? The airstrean naturally changes, has changed before and will change again!

So Sandy is not _caused_ by AGW, but is _exacerbated_ by it. <br /><br />PS having big probs with the "not a robot" prover. 4th try coming up.<br />Also, there seems to be a suggestive fit between AMO and hurricanes: http://www.climatewatch.noaa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/AMO_and_TCCounts-1880-2008.png<br /><br />Maybe if air temps were merged in with that graph, the fit would improve, if it is the case that hurricanes are dependent on the relationship of SST and air temp?DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-73487784780346228872012-11-01T07:27:34.865-07:002012-11-01T07:27:34.865-07:00Good post David.

It's crap like this that has made me really skeptical of anything scientific these guys might have to say. <br /><br />It was interesting to learn where you grew up.

As far as I can tell, Hurricane Sandy was a Cat 1 that just happened to coincide with (1) a storm from the west, (2) a cold front from the north, and (3) and full-moon tide.</i><br /><br />You're forgetting the unprecedented storm path that might have <a href="http://neven1.typepad.com/blog/2012/10/looking-for-weirdness-1.html" rel="nofollow">something to do</a> with the Arctic sea ice.<br /><br />Watch out with that Keithklooritis.
