Stormier Weather, Evidence Mounting, Yasi Approaching Queensland

It may be decades before the evidence is conclusive, but the evidence that global warming (a measured fact) is causing more severe weather events certainly seems to be mounting. As of 2/1/11, poised just off Queensland, Australia, is Category 4 tropical cyclone Yasi.

"In a globally warmed world, the saying will be rewritten:  When it rains, it deluges. The warmest sea surface temperatures in Australian records have been fueling floods called ‘biblical’ — floods covering an area “the size of France and Germany combined.” ABC News has explained “Raging Waters In Australia and Brazil Product of Global Warming."

Queensland faces the threats of torrential rains, highly destructive winds up to 140 mph, and a tidal surge of up to 10 feet as Yasi comes ashore sometime Feb 2.
