<p>Team climate moron tells us that global warming produces stronger storms, because &#8220;<em>there is more energy in the system</em>.&#8221; The level of stupidity behind that remark defies explanation.</p>
<p>Consider a battery. It does nothing until the positive and negative terminals are connected.  It is the difference in energy which drives electricity flow.</p>
<p>Consider a high pressure system. There is little wind, until a low pressure system comes nearby. It is the difference in pressure which drives the wind.</p>
<p>Tornadoes occur in the spring, because warm wet air comes in contact with cold dry air. It is the difference in energy and humidity which drives the tornado.</p>
<p>Tropical Storm Sandy was so large, because it intersected with very cold Arctic air. It was the difference in energy which drove the storm.</p>
<p>Venus is uniformly hot, and has no storms and almost no wind. There are no energy differences on the surface of Venus.</p>
<p>Bottom line is that global warming should produce less severe weather, because of polar amplification  The difference in energy between the poles and the equator is reduced.</p>
