Evidence that rising ocean temperatures caused Gustav

Thursday, 4 September 2008

Scientists have found evidence rising temperatures in oceans are developing more powerful storms - such as Hurricane Gustav.

Over 25 years, cyclones appear to be getting stronger - with the greatest changes found in the North Atlantic and North Indian oceans.

This week Gustav caused the mass-evacuation of New Orleans, while in May, 'Nargis' killed up to 50,000 people in the Bay of Bengal.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
