Beobachter befürchten zunehmend grössere Stürme

Hallo,
darf ich hier einen Bericht mitteilen, der obiges Thema berührt?
Sagt mir ungeniert, wenn ich euch damit verschonen soll.
Ich bin Mitglied in einer englischsprachigen Liste, die zum Thema die Veränderungen in Natur und Kosmos hat und dazu Beobachtungen zusammenträgt. Es wird dort einiges berichtet, das ich nicht kontrollieren kann, weil etwas manchmal gar weit ab von der Realität zu sein scheint. Auch verstehe ich die englische Sprache nicht sehr gut und muss das Übersetzungsprogramm 'Babylon' zuhilfe nehmen.
Ich möchte folgenden Text einfach mal als Information und vielleicht als Diskussionsgrundlage bei Flaute in diesem Forum weitergeben.
Gruss vom Bergzwerg
Wacky Weather Continues Worldwide
24-Aug-2004
Violent storms in the ocean off the U.K. and Ireland are ripping off
huge chunks of cliffs and hurling the rocks long distances inland—
distances scientists didn't think were possible. And a tornado has
been seen at 12,000 feet in Sequoia National Park in the U.S., making
it the highest elevation tornado ever recorded. This is something
new, since tornadoes are a sea level phenomenon.
Tornadoes need the dense, humid air of the lower atmosphere to give
them their energy. This high-altitude tornado is additional evidence
that we can expect radical changes in weather patterns as the
temperature difference between the stratosphere and the troposphere
increases. The lower atmosphere, the troposphere, is retaining more
and more heat due to rising levels of methane and carbon dioxide,
while the stratosphere is getting colder because the heat is no
longer reaching it. This is a major cause of the increase in violent
weather that has recently been observed worldwide. It is also the
reason that forecasters keep underestimating the power of storms, as
happened with Hurricane Charley, which was expected to decline to a
tropical storm before it struck the Florida coast. Instead, it became
a Category 4 hurricane.
In the North Atlantic, storms are creating waves over 65 feet high,
which are powerful enough to tear rocks off ancient cliffs and throw
them inland in places like the Shetland, Orkney and Western islands
in Scotland and the Arran islands in Ireland. Some of these rocks
weigh around 50 tons. Since this kind of erosion is recent, it must
be caused by rising sea levels and sinking coastlines, due to global
warming.
Geomorphologist Jim Hansom says, "When I was asked to investigate the
reason for hundreds of boulders piled up inland from [65 foot] high
cliffs, I did not believe that waves could be responsible. The
boulders were just to big and too heavy. But now we can show it is
occurring and at an ever increasing rate."
