    I have proven hurricanes are worse in colder climates than warmer climates.
    Not sure about that.

    @Metal-Brain and others who refuse to accept scientific evidence, check out this NASA website. The evidence, causes and solutions are clearly put forth. Of course, if you do not believe in the basic tenants of science and reason and rational thought, you will not grasp this information.

    Here is a NASA web link:

    https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/hurricanes/en/

    Here is an excerpt from the link:

    "As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds"

    Even the NASA website says it cools off. It is a combination of warm water and a cooler upper atmosphere that causes hurricanes. You need both. Any hurricane expert will tell you that.

    From the link below:

    "A hurricane's low-pressure center of relative calm is called the eye. The area surrounding the eye is called the eye wall, where the storm's most violent winds occur. The bands of thunderstorms that circulate outward from the eye are called rain bands. These storms play a key role in the evaporation/condensation cycle that feeds the hurricane."


    https://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/natural-disasters/hurricane2.htm

    A hurricane needs condensation as well as evaporation. The combination causes the cycle. Warm air alone would just keep rising and cause no hurricane.

    This is a fact. People are dogmatic though. They dismiss facts in favor of "group think" ignorance. Rumor sometimes trumps truth. It is a sad fact.

    Evaporation and condensation.

    I noticed some websites claim evaporation is the energy that fuels hurricanes, but it is only part of it in reality. Hurricanes are caused by a cycle of evaporation and condensation. Take the latter away and there is no cycle and therefore NO hurricane.

    The energy comes from both, not one or the other.

    Why? I'm right. Facts are facts.

    This is in Qld Aus:

    "The Gladstone power-station produced in one day 35,349 MWh of electricity with an average station output for the day of 1,472.9 MW.

    Large scale solar farms with tracking systems typically need about 0.5 hectare (1.25 acres) per MW depending on the technology. However they only produce for about 8hrs per day and have a "capacity factor" of about 25% at best.

    This means that a 1MW solar farm can only produce a maximum of 1MW x 24hrs x 25% = 6MWh per day.

    "Therefore to produce the same output that the Gladstone power-station did on one day would require a solar farm of 35,349MWh / 6MWh = 5,892 MW and take up about 3,000 hectares or 7,500 acres of space.

    Currently the total installed solar capacity in Australia is 10,131MW including rooftop solar.

    That really puts it into perspective."
