Many have struggled in recent days to recall a period in history when weather systems developed to Category 4 & 5 before leaving the space of the Northern Caribbean. Clearly there is enough evidence to draw a reasonable conclusion that we have entered a period in which the region will have to contend with more intense weather systems. While it seems a simple conclusion for the BU household to make others argue that it is a manufactured idea.

No one said that GP…again, you are straying outside ya field of expertise, more qualified people than you are understand what is occuring, tthe environment never stayed the same, it could not, neither are the carbons and chemicals being used…
…., so dont care how you twist it, you are wrong.., dead wrong.
-
whereas the environment never stayed the same,…………………. the chemistry of carbon atoms have and so have the chemical pathways being used by men and mice LOL
THAT IS IN MY AREA AS A BIOCHEMIST LOL
O=C=O IS THE STRUCTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE
IT CAN NOT CHANGE WHO EVER SAYS SO THE BONDING CAN NOT CHANGE TH STRUCTURE CAN NOT CHANGE NEITHER CAN THE REACTIONS IT CAN ENGAGE INYOU CAN CITE ALL THE SO CALLED EXPERTS YOU LIKE BUT THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBON CAN NOT CHANGE LOL LOL
I AINT GOT TO TWIST A THING

I dont know how much Chemistry you bothered with after your HC days, but if you apply it you dont need an an environmentalist to tell you what carbon dioxide can or can not doif you change the environment or the habitat you will change animal of plant populations that do not adapt but you cant change the structure of chemicals or biochemical pathways or the basic biological principles that control life
we had hurricanes in FL in 2004 with all the warming in FL we have not had a hurricane until 2017
this year we have not had the daily thunder storms and rain in central florida that we get every summer despite all the climate change and global warming -
Thank you Jeremy for that first hand report. Thank you BDF and RSS.

car·bon di·ox·ide
- a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
-
Amen!
-
Vincent…grow up.
GP knows he is wrong, but we cant allow false info from the 60s and 70s to determine our fate or cost small islanders their lives…….
……besides you are just desperate now ya realizing ya cant pull anymore scams to get free subsidies from taxpayers using ya begging bowl and government ministers…that has to be a defining moment and rude awakening, but wait…there is so much more to come, dont blink or ya will miss it..
Don’t worry about Bushman…worry about yaself, we are on the ball.
-
“It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.”
Which clearly means that any amount over that percent ile, is not natural, therefore the overabundance can in no way be naturally absorbed by plants only…it has to go somewhere…
…..no one needs to take a test or have a degree to understand the concept…ya only need commonsense.
-
“It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.”
BOTH STATEMENTS ARE TRUE AIR HAS 0.03 percent CARBON DIOXIDE
CARBON DIOXIDE IS ABSORBED BY PLANTS IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Which clearly means that any amount over that percent ile, is not natural, THIS is THE FALSE STATEMENT Of A SCIENCE ILLITERATE
if you burn any compound containg carbon cARBON DIOXIDE WILL BE EMITTED
BURN SOME GARBAGE OR OLD NEWSPAPERS
THE SMOKE GOING UP CONTAINS CARBON DIOXIDE……that is natural
BREATHE OUT ……….THE GAS COMING OUT IS CARBON DIOXIDE ……this occurs all day every day NATURALLY and has been happening since the beginning of time and IT DID NOT CAUSE GLOBAL WARNING ALL THAT TIME LOL LOL
ya only need commonsense to know and observe this .
and “the overabundance can in no way be naturally absorbed by plants only…it has to go somewhere…” and IT DOES IT COMBINES WITH WATER TO FORM H2CO3
AND IT IS TRUE …..no one needs to take a test or have a degree to understand thIS concept…TRUE TRUE WE ALL KNEW THIS TO BE TRUE WHEN WE OBSERVED THIS IN THE SIMPLE
EXPERIMENTS WE NED IN THE LAB LONG LONG BEFORE WE DID THE TESTS AND GOT THE UNIVERSITY DEGREEya only needED commonsense to know and observe this AND THERE WAS NO GLOBAL WARMING OR CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE OF THE “PRODUCTION OF THIS “UNAATURALLY PRODUCED CARBON DIOXIDE LOL
THIS IS LIKE BEATING UP ON A CHILD.

GP knows he is RIGHT AND THAT THE SIMPLE TEACHING from the 60s and 70s IS TRUE

“Skerrit to UN – I come to you straight from the front line of the war on climate change
Added by Desmond Brown on September 23, 2017.

Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday, calling on countries around the world to lend “rescue and rebuilding equipment” to his decimated country which he said, “reflects a zone of war”.“With physical and emotional difficulty, I have left my bleeding nation to be with you here today because these are the moments for which the United Nations exists,” Skerrit said in an address which lasted 17 minutes.
The Dominican leader used his address to focus on the challenges faced by Caribbean countries as a result of climate change and appealed for help to rebuild his country which is home to 72,000 people.
“In the case of Dominica, it has been only two years since we lost lives and endured substantial physical and infrastructural damage from the ravages of the floods and mud slides of Tropical Storm Erika,” he said.
“To deny climate change is to procrastinate while the earth sinks; it is to deny a truth we have just lived.
“It is to mock thousands of my compatriots who in a few hours, without a roof over their heads, will watch the night descend on Dominica in fear of sudden mud slides and what the next hurricane may bring,” Skerrit added.”

“It is to mock thousands of my compatriots who in a few hours, without a roof over their heads, will watch the night descend on Dominica in fear of sudden mud slides and what the next hurricane may bring,” Skerrit added.
He pointed out that Dominica and the rest of the Caribbean did not start this war against nature, neither did they provoke it but the war had come to them.
And he said there is little time left for action.
“While the big countries talk, the small island nations suffer. We need action and we need it now. We in the Caribbean do not produce greenhouse gases or sulphate aerosols. We do not pollute or overfish our oceans. We have made no contribution to global warming that can move the needle. But yet, we are among the main victims on the frontline,” Skerrit said.
“In the Commonwealth of Dominica, we have long pursued and respected an existence that preserves our Little Eden.
“But what is our reality at this moment? Pure devastation, as Dominicans bear the brunt of climate change. We are shouldering the consequences of the actions of others. Actions that endanger our very existence and all for the enrichment of a few elsewhere.
“We dug graves today in Dominica. We buried loved ones yesterday and I am sure that as I return home tomorrow, we shall discover additional fatalities, as a consequence of this encounter. Our homes are flattened. Our buildings roofless. Our water pipes smashed and road infrastructure destroyed. Our hospital is without power and schools have disappeared beneath the rubble. Our crops are uprooted. Where there was green there is now only dust and dirt,” he said.
Hurricane Maria hit Dominica as a category five storm on Monday leaving 15 confirmed deaths and more than 20 missing and presumed dead.”
-
“The nation of Dominica has come here to declare an international humanitarian emergency. One that is centred in Dominica but also encompasses many of our neighbours including our sister isle, Antigua which had to evacuate its citizens from Barbuda.
“The time has come for the international community to make a stand and to decide whether it will be shoulder to shoulder with those suffering the ravages of climate change worldwide. Whether we can mitigate the consequences of unprecedented increases in sea temperatures and levels; whether to help us rebuild sustainable livelihoods; or whether the international community will merely show some pity now, and then flee; relieved to know that this time it was not you.”
The Prime Minister called on the UNGA to let these extraordinary events unleash the innovation and creativity of global citizens to spark a new paradigm of green economic development that stabilizes and reverses the consequences of human-induced global warming.
“We will rebuild our Garden of Eden again for our children and for future generations,” Skerrit promised.
But right now, he said the country needs all the things required in a natural disaster.
“We need water, food and emergency shelter. We need roads, bridges and new infrastructure. But we also need capabilities of delivery,” he said.
“I call upon those with substantial military capacities to lend us the rescue and rebuilding equipment that may be standing idle waiting for a war; Let Dominica today be that war, because currently, our landscape reflects a zone of war.
“The battle we face has brought us to our knees. We need resources now so that we may move with purpose to the task of rebuilding our beautiful island home.”

GP…all the crap you are talking about burning newspapers and burning rubbish…do your own research and see how much carbon is emitted by China, US, UK and several others and see if you can equate it to burning a newspaper or rubbish, all those smoke stacks and other emitters of carbon and dangerous chemicals……..again ya talking rubbish,,
…….you cannot change what real scientists have found and are sharing with the world…like everything else science has evolved…they know more today than they did in the 60s, 70s, 80s,……that you can know since science is continually evolving.
They even accurately track and forecast the very movement of the hurricanes days in advance, something that seemed impossible couple decades ago,…
…..so ya wasting ya time…the real scientists know what they are speaking about…hell…science students in today’s HC high school and at university will tell you the same thing…50 years after you left there…everything has changed…including science.

IT WAS ORGASMIC MURDAH
THAT DOMINICA WAS RAVAGED AGAIN BY A BIG HURRICANE THAT IS TRUE
THAT THEY HAVE PHYSICAL NEED IS ALSO TRUEIT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THERE HAS BEN HURRICANES FOR EONS
ONE REMEMBERS HURRICANE DAVID IN 1979
THERE WERE TWO HURRICANES IN THE USA THIS YEAR
THERE IS A RECENT EARTH QUAKE IN MEXICO
THERE WAS BAD WEATHER HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE RECENTLYI DID NOT HEAR ANY EMOTIONAL RANTS FROM YOU ABOUT THESE

So carbon dioxide concentrations are increasing. (I am making no claim that increased CO2 concentration is the cause of global warming). What I am trying to understand is your assertion that “THE H2CO3 NOT USED BY PLANTS IS ABSORBED IN LAKES RIVERS DAMS AND THE SEA

“THE PREDICTIONS OF THE OLIVET DISCOURSE ARE COMING TO PASS”Dr. GP, are you arguing here (sorry, stating as ‘gospel’) that the recent hurricanes and earthquakes (and even rumours of nuclear wars) are all planned and deliberate Acts of your god Yahweh and were predictably described in the Judeo-Christian book of myths and legend even though the word ‘hurricane’ is of Amerindian origin and that weather phenomenon was unknown to Middle Eastern and European biblical scribes and scholars prior to the disastrous arrival of Columbus?
Why would your loving caring god want to destroy innocent babies and children as he did by allowing Herod to slaughter the innocent boy children thereby depriving an entire generation of females from experiencing the joys of motherhood like the virgin Mary did with sweet baby Jesus?

@ David September 23, 2017 at 8:44 PM
Then there is absolutely nothing difficult or ‘morally’ wrong with seeding hurricanes to rearrange their chemical composition to make them less destructive to humans and human habitats.
And all along I thought the sole role of hurricanes in Nature was to remove the annual build up of heat at the Equator to more northerly or southerly latitudes depending on whether the Sun’s intensity is greatest in the Northern or Southern hemisphere with the devastating impact on human habitat being mere collateral damage.

That is just what they had to do in the Atlantic Shores area.

I always thought cloud seeding was used to increase precipitation.
I guess if it is done far enough away from the islands it might draw the sting, except that the sting gets put in when the systems are near the islands.
I don’t know if that is something that should be tried willy nilly!!

I am not in possession of the CO2 data but the trend line indicates that CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing regardless of GP’s specious distinction between yearly levels and total concentrations.
https://www.skepticalscience.com/CO2-emissions-correlation-with-CO2-concentration.htm
If I recall estimates correctly from my association at NOAA, it is believed that even if humans were to stop burning fossil fuels now it would take centuries for natural systems to absorb the CO2 presently in excess of that managed by natural sinks. GP’s chemistry references do not address the issues. As he has acknowledged, the CO2 levels are increasing. However the effect of this increase of CO2 on climate is for some debatable.

re it is believed that even if humans were to stop burning fossil fuels now it would take centuries for natural systems to absorb the CO2 presently in excess of that managed by natural sinks.
AND THIS WILL CAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING AND HURRICANES RIGHT?
re GP’s chemistry references do not address the issues
gp’s chemistry references were made so that one can understand the simple chemistry of carbon dioxide, and you can not refute the basic chemistry I put out there or the biology or biochemistry
re As he has acknowledged, the CO2 levels are increasing. However the effect of this increase of CO2 on climate is for some debatable.
yes indeed…….. the more of a relatively inert substance like carbon dioxide and H2CO3 we have the more debate we should have
the carbon dioxide molcules that are chemically relatively inert will act as electrophiles or nucleophiles and attack each other and eventually we will have a carbon dioxide hurricanes–in abundance probably of the CAT 5 type right?
tell us what is a NATURAL carbon dioxide sink Sir
what is debatable any way……….. talking shite like Maxine Waters? -
