The 2006 hurricane season is predicted to be a harsh one, with three major hurricanes striking the gulf. Don’t expect gas prices to go down, especially if one of these strikes Texas. Now this is just a crazy hypothesis, but maybe, just maybe this is how things work:
- Carbon dioxide emissions from 600 million cars seep into the atmosphere.
- The carbon dioxide traps energy from the sun in our atmosphere, raising the surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico.
- The warm water creates more opportunities for hurricanes to form, producing a longer, more destructive hurricane season.
- The resulting hike in oil prices cause the citizens of the United States, a reasonable and adaptable people, to pool their resources and create a renewable energy economy.
Not that global warming is such a bad thing. We’re gonna need that Greenhouse Effect to keep warm during the Nuclear Winter.
Don’t forget the methane from the millons of cows we turn to for cheese, milk, and steak! MMmmmmm global warming….
Nice article!
