USA is a global catastrophe!?

The most powerful storm in the past 20 years, bringing it down to New York and New Jersey, filled reservoirs, water supply both the state. At the same time, he has brought many problems for thousands of motorists and homeowners who threatens to destroy coastline Long-Island and New Jersey and has increased the long debate over climate change. Hurricane-force gusts and record rainfall coincided with the holding of nationwide protests aimed at drawing the attention of politicians and voters to the problem of global warming. Squalls have become a weekly preface to the top film festival Trayeke that unlocks former Vice President Al Gore. The most famous lawyer environment in the world will present seven documentaries on the same topic, coverage which earned him "Oscar". New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg was not remaining aloof from the problems of climate. April 22 to celebrate Earth Day, he will make a presentation on the preparation of the Greater Apple to climate change. "This has its own irony-yesterday, we are a group of activists form a live chain at the southern tip of Manhattan, to show border, which raised ocean water," says Bill Makkibben, founder nature group Step It Up 2007. "And now the mayor of New York officially announced Lower Manhattan area facing inundation". The activists who had formed a living chain call itself the "People Sea". Its members argue that the oceans rise in the foreseeable future to 10 feet, which would inevitably lead to flooding of many coastal cities. This is the hypothesis. In fact, over the past weekend at the Greater New York was hit with more rainfall than ever since that time, both have begun to be similar measurements. As of Sunday evening, the central park their level was 5.5 inches. The previous record was recorded on April 15, 1906 - 1.82 inches. John Murray of the National meteorological believes that the north-west cyclone at this time of year is quite unusual phenomenon, as well as record levels of rainfall. Deputy Director of Harvard Medical School Paul Epstein, in charge of climate change on the planet, said it was unusual not the storm, but its strength. "There is nothing extraordinary in gale arising on the eve of the change of the cold season in the warm," he says. "But instability change resulted in a strength and duration increases. The phenomenon is difficult not to notice ". Ray Zimmerman of Vagnerovskogo Research Centre at New York University more discreet in assessing the weather: "It is very difficult to link any one storm to global climate change, although it is possible that some private communications with the general could be". Zimmerman said that bad weather would never have paid so much attention if, in the preceding months, the media have not done on climate change almost central to world politics and public life. Two days before Traybeke film festival, which will show seven documentary films on a particular topic, Pacific Research Institute has also arranged a demonstration of his movie "Inconvenient truth, or ... Normal fiction ", which is a scientific commentary on the movie Al Gore. Painting, a researcher centres Steven Hayward. According to him, the tendency of public and the press to see northeast gale consequence of global warming is the best evidence anti nature of the campaign waged by activists to combat climate change. "If we are hot, which means the climate has changed, if we are cold, it is also due to climate change-hearing comments Hayward. U-philosophers, this approach is called unreal hypothesis. In other words, it is a hypothesis, when all confirms its right without any counter ". Hayward does not deny that the climate may change, but he argues that the assessment process is inadequate. Movie Gore puts an end to all the doubts any debate, while the main thing now is to help clarify the situation, this is a doctrinal debate. Last week, Bloomberg administration released a report that large Apple is responsible for 1% of the greenhouse gas, which is released into the atmosphere from all the world's cities. The document states: "We can no longer deny the scientific evidence and burying its head in the sand. Climate change is a real problem with real consequences. And because New York is in the coastal zone, we can not sit back and hope for the best ". The head of the Partnership for New York, Kathryn Wylde, which organized the conference, where Bloomberg spoke on measures to prevent the threat of possible flooding of coastal areas and the evacuation of the population, argues : "It is clear that for all the extraordinary weather events of Hurricane Niño" to 70-gradusnogo heat in December was global warming. I think I am right in saying that any scientist will link all these unusual phenomenon to climate change ". The sight because of rain soaked corner of Broadway and Grand-street barmen Esther Santyago-Bebb, said that the picture window of its facilities it seems quite familiar. "The bar flooding in the past, she said. »And I did not see the first time, as on the street swim rolls of toilet paper from a nearby shops". Outside the window bar yellow kerbs moving in the flow of water as boats. At 6 pm Sunday the mayor told citizens that flooding has not caused the death. Nevertheless, city emergency response service has opened dozens of shelters in the areas of flooding. One in Chaynataune, one in Flushing and one in the Govanusa. About 1700 homeowners in Queens remained without electricity, when the gusts several trees collapsed on power lines. An additional 1700 homeowners left for the same reason, without light in Vestchestere. Last weekend at New York airports were cancelled 400 flights. Showers caused cancellation of the parade on the occasion of Greece and met commands "Mets" and "Washington nationals". The worst-affected motorists Bronx, where the cast were large tracts of local routes. Meteorology said on Tuesday the storm will take to the open ocean and the New York sun will begin to rise again. The last time North storm paid a visit to New York in 1991. While meteorologists described it as "a perfect storm", because all its characteristics are consistent with classic definition of the phenomenon in meteorology textbooks. The difference was only that the storm came on the north-eastern Halloween. It has led to the deaths of 12 people and caused damage valued at a billion dollars. Head of Centre for Emergency Response catastrophic situation at New York University Bradley Penuel said: "The current squalls can be caused by the usual change of seasons, but may be relic complex process. One way or another, but people should remember that every case is always better to be prepared for this kind of eventuality ".
