Although the Atlantic Hurrican Season is off to a slow start, storm activity in the South Pacific is going strong. On August 7, 2006, as the NASA Aqua satellite flew over the region, it captured an image of three typhoons following storm tracks in the area: Typhoon Saomai, Typhoon Maria, and Typhoon Bopha.
While this is not an unprecedented event, it does provide an oppurtunity to see into the lifecycle of a tropical storm in the South Pacific. Each of the storms are a different age, Bopha being the youngest at only a few hours in age, followed by Maria (24 hours older). Saomai is a day older than Maria, with sustained winds of 85 M.P.H.

Man's impact on the global climate is the biggest danger that the human race faces today. We as a species have to overcome many preconceived notions to face this dilemma and we should know a few things about our enemy. The climate sees no borders, and does not discriminate based on politcal beliefs, religion, skin color, or sexuality, and will surely affect all of us in ways that we cannot imagine in the years to come.
Thing are happening on this planet right now that have dire consequences of for all humans. Accelerating Polar Ice Melt, the deforestation of the Amazon Basin and other large tropical forests, rising sea surface temperatures, massive coral die-offs, droughts, floods and stronger hurricanes are all interconnected and seem to be spinning out of control. For us to really make a difference in our affect on Global Climate Change, we are all going to have to work together as a species.
