Does the manifestation of "Bertha" exhibit a return to a healthier Earth troposphere due to the efforts of humans to 'sustain' their forests in Africa, thus, again dominating Earth's physics in the Atlantic Ocean?
Or is "Bertha" an anomaly in a 'shifting baseline' due to the 'lack of' 'residual coolness' in Earth's troposphere?
With the loss of the 'North Polar Ice Cube' due in September, we may be seeing a complete dryness of North America that abandons all possiblities of 'rain' even from hurricanes.
2007 Hurricane Season
The 2007 hurricane season was a maximum to the evidence of a 'broken' Earth system in the Atlantic Ocean. All the 'African water vapor' hurricanes were now southerly hurricanes picking up water vapor off the Equator with the assistance of Arctic Ocean vortexes.
The more 'northerly' hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean manifested along 'the paths' of vortex water vapor trails. They no longer were generated from African water vapor. The Atlantic hurricane dynamics were 'broken.' Profoundly. The water vapor for most of the hurricanes last year took sustained periods of time pulling Equatorial water vapor into the physics of a hurricane.
2000 Hurricane Season
The OVERT shift from a 'Earth healthy' climate to a 'carbon dioxide toxic' climate was evident in the 2000 hurricane season.
In the year 2000 and there after, Earth exhibited a change in the regions where hurricanes would manifest. They started to leave the African rainforests' water vapor and moved to far hotter waters.
Hurricanes are a manfestation of Earth's physics. They don't have 'set tropospheric' locations so much as 'tropospheric triggers.' The greatest of those triggers is heat. So, when carbon dioxide started to build most densely in the waters near the USA the 'shift' in 'hurricane activity' left the 'cooler' waters of 'offshore' Africa and took hold 'nearer' shore of the USA.
The 2000 Atlantic hurricane season manifested 'new' trends. Trends that exhibited a shift in the 'physics' of hurricanes. While African water vapor was still a perferred location for hurricanes to start, they were NOW (in 2000) seeking higher water vapor concentration where the waters were hotter and that was the Gulf of Mexico. With 'Hurricane Debbie' there was a more southerly route to African water vapor hurricanes than 'Mid-Atlantic.' That was new. It indicated a 'climatic shift.' IN OTHER WORDS. EARTH was under going a 'Shifting Baseline.' Dangerous stuff.
1999 Hurricane Season
The 'Earth healthy' trend that is dominated by African water vapor continued until a shift started after the 1999 season.
1995 Hurricane Season
This was a far healthier troposphere when hurricanes PRIMARILY manifested near Africa and its dense rainforests.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2004
Kenyan ecologist wins Nobel prize (click here)
Kenyan environmentalist and human rights campaigner Wangari Maathai has won the Nobel Peace Prize.
She is the first African woman to be awarded the peace prize since it was created in 1901.
A surprised Mrs Maathai broke the news to reporters minutes before the official announcement.
The prize committee says Mrs Maathai, Kenya's Deputy Environment Minister, is an example for all Africans fighting for democracy and peace.
The delighted 64-year-old professor said the award was completely unexpected....
"Bertha" began in the Atlantic Ocean just west of Senegal. It accelerated very quickly from a Tropical Storm (TS) to a Cat 3 Hurricane, because the ocean and air temp is so very hot.

Senegal is very hot, temperatures have been averaging in the high 80's and low 90's, no different than Wilmington, NC. Humidity in Senegal has been no lower than 70%. Humidity in Wilmington, NC runs about 60% these days.
Africa's more biotic areas may be among the healthiest on Earth, along with Indonesia so long as they haven't been hit by raiders and tidal waves. Africa has been engaged in a 'cultural' protection of its biotic content. Nobel Prize. It may be that the African forests are among those that have viable water vapor to sustain some hurricanes.
Any hurricane at this point will help relieve the stress on the Arctic Ocean to cool Earth, but, it is far too late to stop the severe melt due in September. If Earth has a brief recovery due to sustainable water vapor from Africa we might see a slight delay in Arctic demise but not by much. One hurricane season, even if vigorous won't save the entire ocean of ice.
