re: #118 Obdicut

Ace, why are you acting as though there’s any sort of consensus on that information?

Some scientists are saying what you’re saying. Many others are saying the increase in humidity overall is going to give a lot more weight and force to weather.

For example, it appears to be relatively widely accepted that AGW will increase subtropical and perhaps also midlatitude static stability. Increased static stability is a hurricane counteragent.

It’s also a reason to expect an expansion of very dry areas, and since we humans like to grow food, increased static stability in subtropical areas is no panacea. I just don’t like straying too far from the straight and narrow on AGW when too many people still struggle to believe that it’s getting warmer.
