Real branches or painted-plastic branches?

I'm not saying they'll nail Florida, but I'll take the long bet on this one.
Global Warming and Hurricanes
Global warming is 'causing more hurricanes'
Is Global Warming Making Hurricanes Worse?

Can you please let us Floridians get through the disaster that was Irma and the rest of the hurricane season before you armchair prognosticators start taking bets about next year?
Not even the experts at the NHC are talking about 2018.

For those interested in such things, if you ever wondered what cell site traffic looked like on a cell serving a park on a normal day versus a day when the park is closed. Below is a graph showing the data volume on one carrier on one sector of the cell site in the Epcot parking lot. This sector faces the entrance of the park.

Maybe you can boss others around, but I'll take a pass. But thanks for playing.
Those articles came from NOAA, National Geographic and the Independent.

You know what's funny?
Want me to post some links from several climatologists who say global warming played no role in Harvey and Irma, and really screw up this thread? lol
I won't....I am trying to be good.
Anyways...has anyone seen photos from Pandora? Interested in seeing how it managed.

Last I checked, science does not equal junk. One of the links they included is from NOAA, you know, the people we just relied on for the past week for updated information about the hurricane....
It's not about politics, the NOAA link even says it's too soon to determine whether activity by humans is having an impact on it, but it IS happening, and they state that hurricanes and tropical storms will get 2-11% more intense on average by the end of the century

Science regardless of the subject manner should never be considered a political matter.

Still really shouldn't be in this thread unless you want it to turn into a debate.

I don't see how you feel it doesn't belong here. It's not politics. It's about hurricanes. This thread is about a hurricane. You can agree, you can disagree, you can debate, but you cannot just censor what you don't agree with.

Is there significant damage to any infrastructure as well? I am not an expert in this area so not sure how much infrastructure there is to begin with...

...but it is. We all like to think it's not, but it is. When the politicians paying you are all for global warming then you say "global warming" and keep your trap shut about the politicians who decide whether you're funded or not.
It's not much different than the chocolate industry funding some "science" to get a "healty benefits of chocolate"-report out. "Chocolate helps in the fight against heart disease!" - suddenly becomes a headline.
Science is not "pure" and is often wrong. That's the history of it. Add to it how everything is politicized these days, including science and it leads one to question their motives. I don't doubt that there are scientists fully on-board with global warming who are very vocal about it. At the same time I don't doubt that there are plenty of scientists who are not on board with global warming and are smart enough to keep their traps shut so that they can continue getting funded and feed their families.
NASA and NOAA have been politicized by global warming. They like their funding.
Note: I'm not saying pro/con on global warming, just pointing out the political realities of all of it and that's going to upset people.

Science is apolical. Discussion of hurricane impacts on Florida within a thread about a hurricane that impacted Florida seems fine to me. It's not like he's posting a Breitbart article.

A few delays and closures of outside attractions (JC, Safari and AK trails), otherwise seems to be operating as normal.
