You said alot in few posts so here you go:

(1) I am no mind reader so I didnt search for the science magazine "You used to work for"

But a quick google search finds what normally is found on similar websites:

http://www.wunderground.com/education/webster.asp

Are Category 4 and 5 hurricanes increasing in number?

All the websites that seem to have any credibility are all the same, they say there has been an increase yet how do they know? I doubt in the 1940s when cars were first being invented that we could differentiate between a class 3 and class 4 etc so how do these scientists hold any credibility?

Unless someone can say that there has been a stark increase in Class 5 hurricanse since lets say the industrial revolution then they dont hold water.

Also, one question I do have is since you "used to work for a science magazine" I am thinking you might be able to answer 2 questions?

(1) Why is there a hole over the Antarctic (not alot of GHG emitted there even if you take wind currents into effect.
(2) Have scientists ever taken into account the reflection of the suns rays of the ice caps at both poles as to why those are where the holes are located. Example, why are there no holes above Europe (combined pollution is likely greater over Euorpe than NA given more mature population etc)

(2) My asking about 3rd world country pollution credits is merely to figure out ways around Kyoto. It has always been my believe that it was introduced by the largely Euro controlled UN as a way to distribute wealth from the US/Canada/Australia to the poorer countries.

I have never once disputed the fact that carbon emissions arent bad, I believe they along with other factors at play in Global Warming.

(3) If you do a search through similar minded posts you will see that I am not against an agressive Environmental Policy.

(a) Enforcing a E85 or bettger fuel standard by 2012
(b) Enforcing a cap on ALL INDUSTRIES carbon emissions with a influx of approx 10bil over 3 years to assist with technologies

Now my thinking has been more Alberta based as to what they can do since quite frankly I dont give 2 #####s what other provinces do. I would also like to do it just to say for once and for all to QC, ON, SK, MN etc to p!ss off with all your high and mighty Suzuki esque rethtoric. Its really hypocritical for Provicnes who have gained through dirty emissions to now come down on Alberta when it is growing.
