Are hurricanes natures way of redressing a natural imbalance in the oceans and atmosphere?
The jury is still out on weather/climate patterns, but here’s somethings that most scientists would agree with (at least on a layman’s level of interpretation): – Hurricanes aren’t a way to repair imbalances, they are a totally natural phenomenon caused by the laws of physics and solar energy. (Earth without humans would still experience hurricanes.) – The increased number of hurricanes may well be due to abnormal imbalances in atmosphere/oceans–nature alone doesn’t really explain why it’s happening. – Human impacts (greenhouse gasses, pollution) on the atmosphere might be the main explanation for the increased hurricanes, but the earth undergoes patterns that we simply do not understand, or may not even know. – We should be taking note of the increased incidence of hurricanes (as well as tornadoes, cyclones, floods, droughts, etc). Even if they are not increased by human activities, they are damaging to nature, and understanding them will help alleviate damages & suffering. If the in
