14. You're not an engineer or a climate scientist

and it shows with your posts. This is not simply about atmiospherics. Hurricanes are clearly now behaving in much more dangerous ways because of our warming planet. The Houston hurricane along with Ashville are solid examples of this new and more dangerous behaviors. Maybe if you'd actually flown hurricane reconnaissance like my engineer'pilot father with 40 years of mechanical engineering and flying experience, you would better understand what's now happening. Please don't think because you read a website that you know more about this than my engineer/pilot father. You don't and you never will.
