I just answer the natural disasters but the melting of the icebergs(green house effect) effect not the weather itself but more of the ocean and a thing called the ocean current it carrys warm water to cold places and cold water to warm places shown here and salt water sinks faster so the more fresh water in the ocean the slow it moves and it will stop if too much is added. Now how does this effect weather people are really sure but it would make places like New York have cold winters and i mean cold like back in 1974 (7 dergees for a month) and lots of snow like buafflo but it will be all over new york. we could see more droughts bigger hurricanes more often and things along this natural. If you want more info let me know and i will really write you a paper.





sorry if u cant understand this i have a badass headache so let me know if u cant and i revise it for you

And I'm sure they don't happen all the time. Don't hear about it? What are you talking about?
Actually the hole in the ozone layer is smaller now than 10 years ago and category 5 hurricanes have -decreased- in the last 20 years. Don't let the media hype determine your environmental stand.

Even the UN agrees and, let's face it, they aren't conservatives when it comes to the environment. I'll take slightly smaller any day over growing:

UN: 2005 ozone hole likely to be slightly smaller than all-time high of 2003

GENEVA (AP) - The hole in the ozone layer this year will probably be slightly smaller than the all-time largest of 2003, in line with the general trend of a gradual healing of the ozone layer's depletion, a UN agency said Friday.



Also, prior to 1988, there were 25 category 5 hurricanes (in the 20th century) and only 5 since then.

And, just for your day's light reading, a wonderful site that debunks a lot of the myths surrounding global warming:

*yawns, finger hovering over the SMITE SYNTHOS button and, not coincidentally, eyeballs Manderlock while she's at it*

New Orleans has indeed had enough and let's hope that this hurricane downgrades itself into a tropical storm OR heads out into the Gulf where it belongs.

The latest is that Rita is a tropical storm off of Key West. It will head out into the Gulf again and probably gain strength but no higher than category 3. The latest track suggests that it will hit WEST of Houston if it hits at all. Given its erratic nature, it's a toss up.

Not your fault. Just the way it is. No one can help it. Not even me. But now I have butterflies in my stomach and an eerie feeling. The thought of hurricanes terrifies me, and even though they say it's not coming here, I want to go hide.

un hunnn

less see now.......

tsunami is caused by earthquake which is triggered by big ozone hole letting in more sunlight.

except the earthquake has been building up for a few hundred years and the ocean screans out the sunrays any way

next question please
