Yet another category 5 hurrican barrling towards the Flordia region

http://hurricanewilmapwnssumnubs.ytmnd.com/

This year is Nature Gone Wild. Hurricanes in Louisiana, Mud slides in Guatemala, Earthquakes in Afghanistan. Not to mention the Tsunami last year. (freakily enough, the exact moment I heard about the Tsunami on the radio I had just opened up a Sobe 'Tsunami' beverage)

have you heard of the Butterfly effect? lol

IT SHALL NOT HEAD TOWARDS PA!!! (I hope) If it does im saving my DS with all the games I can carry!

Well you can tell we really f***** this planet up

I don't think this has anything to do with what we've done. Also, just to clear this now, if ANYONE says this has to do with global warming, I will rip your heart out and shove it up your nose.

DK's right. These are all NATURAL disasters. Blaming a hurricane on people is like saying that it's the President's fault that Denver is in a drought despite the fact that it is a semi-arid climate.

Also, Bart, this is off topic, but the movie Butterfly Effect was a total rip off of The Lathe of Heaven. (And I bet I'm the only person here who has even heard of that movie)

OK first off global warming is a crock of s*** but due to increased population and destruction of resources we have really f***** up our planet.

No, it is not, and if you want to know WHY it is not, I recently wrote a 6 page paper on it that I will gladly post in the forum.

I'm talking about the thoery. I never watched the movie

If that thing comes near me, I'm standin' my ground. YOU HEAR THAT, WILMA? F*** YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted in the wrong thread.

The butterfly effect is part of the Chaos Theory. Systems that are chaotic, like the weather, are characterized by being extremely sensitive to initial conditions. A scientist who made a chaotic system, consisting of twelve equations within equations that begin and terminate in different places to model what the weather might theoretically be, ended up with wildly different results when he entered the data a second time. This is because the computer rounded off the input data from something like 630.503021 to 630.503. Basically, something as complex as the weather can be considered chaotic, and extremely tiny changes will radically alter it (the flapping of a freaking butterfly's wings?? Yes, after a long period of time). This is why weather predictions are usually never good for more than a week, because weather is so sensitive to initial conditions and all the countless other things that will alter it.

Therefore, anyone who attributes global warming as a cause of frequent hurricanes likely doesn't have much evidence to base it on. That still doesn't mean that natural disasters are not signs that we need to start taking better care of our Earth.

I live in the state with hardly any weather, and in the part with no weather. I was jumping up in joy when it rained for some what 20 minutes. I think the reason it seems like mother nature is out to get us is because 1) there are so many of us. Theres bound to be people around where ever nature strikes with 6 billion + of us. 2) The news coverage. We can hear about everything in the world. No matter how remote. And I agree it can't be global warming. But if what happened in "day after tomorrow" happens, at least I live in the one part of america thats safe :P . No floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, blizzards here in Arizona. I think we send our old people to Florida for them to die in these hurricanes. Why else do people live there!!!

caus it is lovley the land down there and the views are priceless.
