You can’t blame a flooding event...Here we go again! You can’t blame a flooding event on Global Warming! If you people understood Meteorology you would understand why the flooding in Nashville actually happened. This was a textbook setup for flooding. This was a setup were you have a LOT of atmospheric forcing or lift. A low level jet played a big role because it transports humidity from the Gulf and it just feeds it into thunderstorms. In the case of Nashville this was a setup in Meteorology called “training”. Meaning, just like a train, heavy rain and thunderstorms track over the same areas over and over leading to flooding.<br /><br />You need more than just warm air to create this type of event. When you have temperatures in the 30’s on one side of the storm and in the 70’s on the other, this is can create a really good setup for a strong storm system.<br /><br />The most significant point being made by the fakes is that water vapor multiplies global warming by a factor of 3 or more, because warmer air holds more water vapor. The logic is fraud. The air would always be saturated if an increase in holding capacity resulted in an increase in humidity. Dry air and droughts result from cold oceans not putting as much water vapor into the air—hot air and shortage of water vapor.<br /><br />The volume of water vapor is about 4% in very humid and warm tropical air. Water vapor CAN NOT BE GREATER than 4%!! Because temperature sets a limit to how much water vapor can be in the air.<br /><br />So to blame this, and other, events on AGW is just fraud!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-6894081424593493812010-05-10T14:28:14.363-07:002010-05-10T14:28:14.363-07:00Days with precip. is not the relevant metric.

Rain can NOT percolate so it runs the contours and creates rivers that flood during heavy downpours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
