So the Arctic, is a high pressure system and the system wants to balance itself, so it start pulling air our of the arctic to balance the pressure near the tropics where the hurricane is. Of course this air from the arctic is very cold, and as it moves south it heats up and expands, thus balancing the pressure.<BR/><BR/>Thing is that the pressure in the arctic would be dropping, which would cause a further drop in temperatures because it is losing its heat mass the same way a refrigerator or air conditioning works in your home, or like a pressurized can of air becomes cool in your hand when you spray it.<BR/><BR/>Now again, I don't know anything. I'm not a trained weather man or an elitist rich kid from the UK, but from my common perspective it seems logical to figure that hurricane season in the Atlantic would be the absolute worst time to go canoeing due North of the Atlantic Ocean, because it seems to a mere layman, such as myself, that the weather should be changing very quickly to something that I would consider brutally cold.<BR/><BR/>But then again, I do not have all the money in the world, any more than I spend my days drinking ale and cidar in my local pub talking big about the things that I am going to do. I am just a commoner, and really could not care less about making myself into an eco-celebrity.<BR/><BR/>This entire adventure is like an un-funny eco-snob version of jackass. Once upon a time, I thought that the elite were a little bit brighter than those of us who are just common, but every passing year it seems that the elite go the extra mile to prove that they might even be a litt bit dumber than us common folk. Then again, I'm just common so what do I know?hahajohnnybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593473605960080378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12339127.post-18630570539848341052008-09-04T12:22:00.000-05:002008-09-04T12:22:00.000-05:00Doh!
