Further proof that the weather is screwed up

There's a new hurricane (Vince), in a most unlikely place: Just south west of Portugal! It ain't very often you see a hurricane there - in fact, the National Hurricane Center was reluctant to even call it a hurricane because of its location, but it meets the criteria: 65 knot winds, counter-clockwise circulation, and a distinct eye. They said:

There is no Xena, Yolanda or Zoe. The Atlantic basin does not use Q, U, X, Y or Z. They say there are not enough names that start with those letters. Here's a link to how they name storms:

So are those all the names that they are planning on using in the assigned years? or are those just examples?

They're the real deal. The names will only change if one is removed from the list (which will almost certainly happen with Katrina and Rita)

Nay.

Pick up a book on environmental science, I took 2 years of it in college and it really changed my mind on some things.

Actually I was quoting the end of the article that Bird351 linked to. 

Oh what's that?  You didn't read the article?  Oh well then I guess that explains your response.  :grinno:

oh, yeah that is wrong

The Sun is actually burning less hot... hence yellowish color. Like everything else we know of, it's following the law of entropy...

How can we know anything about weather patterns on earth or spots on the sun if we only have reliable records dating back a mere 150 years.  That's nothing compared to the length of time earth or the sun have been here.  How can we recognize patterns when we don't have records long enough to have been able to observe them?  Who is to say that the earth has not been through thousands of these "warm" periods and we are only seeing it as global warming because we don't have records of any of the other warm periods because they happened 1,000 or 2,000 years ago?  The data we have is miniscule compared to the weather history of the planet.
