Why haven't you stopped using gas powered cars!

DUH!!!! Ford's first car ran on Electricity. You could create the electricity via a crank!! The gas/oil companies told him to make them run on gasoline, because it was cheap and viable at the time. Today it is NOT!! But what are the alternatives? Overpriced Hybrid and electric cars!! Make them affordable and I will GLADLY make the switch over. That goes for the boat motor, lawnmower and everything else that runs on gasoline!

OH OH!! Here come the oil tycoons and their cabal of mis-information spinners!!! I know the difference between miles and KM. THE NEWS said it was clocked AT 235 MILES an hour!!! Making it well above the category 5 hurricane which I think is 157MPH!! If they are now saying it was "exaggerated" Maybe Nargis was "exaggerated also. Still Nargis was clocked at 135MPH MAX. Therefore Haiyan was still more powerful every way you slice it!

But nice try!!! You have money tied in oil stocks don't you! Only an idiot cannot see what is happening on the earth.

Did you hear about the storm that hit the USA recently? Hopefully it hit mostly global warmer deniers homes!!!

I am beginning to think that Americans are right about Canucks, some of them anyway. It wasn't even the most powerful typhoon.

[h=2]1. Typhoon Tip - 1979[/h]Typhoon Tip developed near Micronesia, in the Western Pacific. With a low-pressure centre of 870 hPa and a diameter of 2,200 km. Tip broke records in both size and intensity. On 12 October it reached screaming wind speeds of 305 km/h, but by the time it made landfall, a week later on the Japanese island of Honshu, its winds had slowed to 130 km/h. Tip caused a huge amount of damage; rainfall led to 600 mudslides in Japan, destroying 22,000 homes and killing a total of 86 people.


[h=2]2. Super Typhoon Nora - 1973[/h]Typhoon Nora began to develop east of the Philippines on 1 October. It swelled gradually over four days, eventually reaching speeds of 298 km/h. Its central pressure of 877 hPa was the lowest ever recorded at the time. Nora made landfall on the Philippines' island of Luzon six days later. When it arrived in southeast China on 10 October it had weakened to a minimal typhoon. Nevertheless Nora killed 18 people and caused $2 million worth of damage.


[h=2]3. Super Typhoon June - 1975[/h]Thankfully, Typhoon June never made it to land and remained in the Pacific Ocean. However, at the time it was the strongest typhoon recorded, reaching winds of 297 km/hour. It was also the first typhoon on record to have triple eyewalls – three concentric circles of thunderstorm around the eye of the storm.


[h=2]4. Super Typhoon Ida - 1958[/h]Ida was spawned in the central Western Pacific Ocean on 20 September. It intensified three days later reaching peak winds of 321 km/h. Ida's winds decreased to 129 km/h when it made landfall on the Japanese Island of Honshu. The typhoon led to torrential rain in south-eastern Japan obliterating two small villages. As a result of the rain, and 1,900 mudslides, 888 people died.


[h=2]5. Super Typhoon Kit - 1966[/h]Typhoon Kit formed in the Pacific Ocean on 25 June. Unconfirmed reports indicate that its winds reached 313 km/h, but the technology to measure these speeds was still in its infancy. Typhoon Kit passed Honshu on 28 June, killing 64 people.


[h=2]6. Super Typhoon Rita - 1978[/h]Super Typhoon Rita developed on 15 October, but only reached Category 5 status eight days later. Its pressure of 878 hPa was only 8 hPa less intense than the lowest pressure ever recorded, and Rita sustained this intensity for three days. By the time the vast typhoon made landfall in the Philippines, it had weakened to a Category 4. The death toll and resulting damage from the disaster is poorly recorded.


[h=2]7. Super Typhoon Vanessa - 1984[/h]Vanessa made landfall in Guam, a U.S. Territory in the Western Pacific, with wind speeds of 109 km/h. However, the typhoon continued to grow as it moved over the ocean – eventually reaching sustained wind speeds of 298 km/h. Typhoon Vanessa caused $1.7 million damage in Guam, mainly to the banana crop.


[h=2]8. Hurricane Wilma - 2005[/h]Huuricane Katrina was one of the most costly, damaging and deadly hurricanes the US has ever seen, but it was Hurricane Wilma - the fourth Category-5 hurricane of the 2005 season - that was most intense to ever be recorded in the Atlantic Basin. It formed in the Caribbean Sea in October and strengthened as it moved southwest. It reached winds of 296 km/h and a low pressure of 885 hPa. Wilma made first landfall on the Mexican island of Cozumel and continued through to the mainland. It hit land again several times through its journey causing the most damage in Florida, Mexico and Cuba. The hurricane killed 62 people and led to destruction in excess of $29 billion.


[h=2]9. Super Typhoon Joan - 1959[/h]Super Typhoon Joan originated in the Western Pacific. On August 28 it reached peak winds of 314 km/h; however, this is speculative due to the limited technology available at the time. The next day Joan struck Taiwan with winds of 298 km/ h, and meandered across the Formosa Strait before disintegrating in China. Joan caused heavy flooding, destroyed 3,308 houses and killed 14 people.


[h=2]10. Super Typhoon Irma - 1971[/h]Super Typhoon Irma never made landfall and remained in the Western Pacific Ocean. It reached a peak intensity of 290 km an hour on November 11. In 1971 the typhoon was the fastest to intensify. Its pressure dropped from 981 hPa to 884 hPa in just one day.

You ever meet one of those idiots that just HAS to be right in a debate?lol This idiot is one of them.

Haiyan was clocked at 235 MILES an hour, equal to 365+ Kilometers an hour! Higher then any of the above. Did you see the video comparing the two storms? NO COMPARISSON!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiyan

On November 2, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring a broad low-pressure area about 425 kilometers (265 miles) east-southeast of Pohnpei, one of the states in the Federated States of Micronesia. Moving through a region favoring tropical cyclogenesis, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified the developing system as a tropical depression early on November 3. Subsequent intensification resulted in the JMA upgrading the system to a tropical storm and assigning it the name Haiyan (Chinese: 海燕; literally "petrel") at 0000 UTC on November 4. Tracking generally westward along the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge, rapid intensification ensued by November 5 as a central dense overcast with an embedded eye began developing; the JMA classified Haiyan as a typhoon later that day. By November 6, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigned the storm the local name Yolanda as it approached their area of responsibility. Intensification slowed somewhat during the day, though the JTWC estimated the storm to have attained Category 5-equivalent super typhoon status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale around 1200 UTC.Later, the eye of the typhoon passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau.[14] Around 1200 UTC on November 7, Haiyan attained its peak intensity with ten-minute sustained winds of 235 km/h (145 mph) and a barometric pressure of 895 mbar (Six hours later, the JTWC estimated Haiyan to have attained one-minute sustained winds of 315 km/h (195 mph) and gusts up to 378 km/h (235 mph).

Oh and here is another interesting note idiot!

Climate change:

Both political leaders and climatologists have connected the typhoon to climate change. During the 2013 United Nations Climate Change Conference (which was coincidentally held concurrently with the typhoon), Yeb Saño, the lead negotiator of the Philippines delegation, received a standing ovation when he declared a hunger strike:

"In solidarity with my countrymen who are struggling to find food back home, I will now commence a voluntary fasting for the climate; this means I will voluntarily refrain from eating food during this Cop, until a meaningful outcome is in sight." — Yeb Saño
Climatologists have consequently published analyses correlating the increasing intensity of storms with the progression of global warming. As Saño continued his hunger strike, several delegates, including American delegate Collin Reese, joined him in fasting. Sixty people from Climate Action Network, an umbrella group of environmental non-governmental organisations, also joined the hunger strike.



ALSO NOTE THAT YOUR LIST EVEN STATES THE EQUIPMENT WAS NOT VERY ACCURATE BACK IN THOSE DAYS!!! AND THAT THE FIGURES WERE QUESTIONABLE!
