Seems to me the
debate about AGHG global
warming and increasing TC frequency / intensity / duration boils down to the fact that as sea surface temperatures, as well as deeper water temperatures rise, the wallop of any TC over

What lags what might
seem like a good
debate to have and one that has to be answered to as the skeptics for good scientists to set up sites like this to argue the cause but come on the evidence is clear, it is not the SUN that has caused the current

So again —
seems to me that
debates about the magnitude of sensitivity are consistent with skepticism (as opposed to «skepticism»), and
debates about the physics of AGW are consistent with skepticism (as opposed to «skepticism» — and despite the attempts of some to throw those who doubt basic AGW physics under a bus)-- but to say that you don't doubt the basic physics yet assert that global
warming has stopped is either illogical or the view of a «skeptic» (as opposed to a skeptic).
