Hello, My husband and I are booked to fly to Taiwan on Oct 2nd for 2 weeks. Having checked a recent weather report, we're a bit concerned about the weather. It forecasts storms for the next 10 days. We were planning to go to Taroko Gorge and to Kaohsiung, but should we just stay put in Taipei?! What are the local weather forecasts predicting? Many thanks, Cheekyvee ...

By Joseph Romm A lot of knee-jerk deniers (please don't write in -- I know that is redundant) misread " part 1 ," as I knew they would. I was not wading into the issue of whether global warming has already made intense tropical storms more common. That remains a great subject of debate, mostly because of the inadequacy of historical hurricane records, before the satellite era, and especially before WWII. That said, the North Atlantic seems special because much of the hurricane-forming region in the summer is relatively close to the temperature threshold for hurricane generation -- so a little warming goes a long way. I will return to this issue at the end of the post. My point in this two-parter is completely different . All things being equal, if a storm took the same track of Gustav (or Katrina) in 2050, then, rather than weakening before making landfall, it would probably have strengthened considerably. Let's look at the region in 2050, assuming BAU (business-as-usual) warming, or no effort to reverse current emissions trends: Now that is bad news for New Orleans, the Gulf Coast, and the South Atlantic. The average warming in the Gulf, Caribbean, and coastal Atlantic is 1°C to 2°C, but this model has an enormous body of very warm water 2°C to 3°C over much of the typical storm path for a hurricane like Katrina or Gustav. There are two relevant points to recall: The National Climatic Data Center 2006 report on Katrina notes that ...

In one part of the world it’s called a hurricane. In another part, a TYPHOON. And in yet another part, a severe cyclonic storm. These are all names for a strong “tropical cyclone,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A tropical cyclone is a storm with such characteristics as a low pressure center, thunderstorms, strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone originates primarily in the tropics and rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 39 miles per hour is called a tropical depressions. When a tropical cyclone reaches a speed of 39 mph, it is typically called a tropical storm and given a name. It’s considered a hurricane if winds reach 74 mph. But hurricane is a regionally specific name, used in the north Atlantic, the northeast Pacific east of the dateline and parts of the South Pacific. In the northwest Pacific west of the dateline, such a storm is called a TYPHOON. In other parts of the world, the terms severe tropical cyclone and severe cyclonic storm are used. ...
