Tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico are 50 percent more likely to undergo rapid intensification during marine heat waves, or periods of hot sea surface temperatures.

Because marine heat waves are increasing under climate change, frequent rapid intensification events can also be expected, according to a study by Dr. Radfar in the journal Communications Earth and Environment.

The problem is that their vision of "done right" is to block non-whites, non-males, and non-their-kind-of-Christian from voting.

There isn't a rush to do it; the problem is that their plan is to invent nonexistent problems and refuse to certify at all.

Take away their power to destroy trust, which is what they're there for.

You can't with them, because their aim is to destroy trust, not create it.

They're already lying about past events which makes it clear that they're going to keep on lying.

There's lots of water, but we mostly use it on growing animal feed and motor vehicle fuel.
