Poor Texans. If only they believed in Human Forced Global Warming...

All fighting aside, why should global warming necessarily mean more extreme weather patterns? I'm unfamiliar w/the thermo on a global scale, but couldn't it mean quite the opposite? It feels like forever since I heard of a tornado devastating a town.

Simple physics.

If you need evidence of it on a scale that would blow your mind, look at planets in our solar system that are really hot, and then start gathering facts about them, like wind speed, storm sizes and intensities, etc.
 
Democrat voters are like elderly people who sent money to the nigerian prince whose funds were blocked, then they get furious at family members who point out it is a scam.

Huh? Did you mean to post that in another thread? Because otherwise you are losing your marbles.
 
You seem unhinged, sort of like Trump. Relax and take a deep breath. This amounts to nothing but relatively simple physics and statistical analysis of reams of data. No need to get worked up about it. Save your passion for when you realize just how catastrophically wrong you are, and you become a gladiator to save the planet.

We would do no such thing of what you are suggesting if we saw one monster storm. One data point does not a trend make. But we are seeing stronger storms, although paradoxically, fewer of them, from the time records have been kept.

See the post two above this one.

Actually if you read the narratives of hurricanes in the 1700s and early 1800s you will find that many of them were much stronger than the average hurricane today and there were more of them.

There's hardly any planet with the same mass, spin, thermal input, or atmospheric makeup though. A lot of these weather patterns are violent "fronts" w/differing temperatures. If the earth reaches a more "uniform" temperature due to warming, it's possible these "clashing" fronts would get reduced. I understand there's more energy in a hot gas and the release of said energy is what causes big patterns, I just wonder if there's a happy medium which we've never been in.

The energy of four atom bombs - due to the increase of greenhouse gasses due to man - is being added to the atmosphere....every second. This energy is in the form of heat energy called enthalpy. It includes water vapor as well as absolute temperature.

That energy goes into the weather. So single precip events are becoming larger as are large hurricanes.

In addition, the polar jet stream meanders are slowing, resulting in extended weather events staying in one place.

The extreme events seen recently are just the tip of the melting iceberg. We aint seen nuthin yet.
 
Anyone who is of an age that they can no longer trust a fart... probably is not worth listening to about managing gasses.

Bill Nye the Science Guy said climate change deniers are old and might not be a problem for much longer.
