Global Warming May Reduce Hurricanes

May 19, 2008 -- Global warming isn't to blame for the recent jump in hurricanes in the Atlantic, concludes a study by a prominent federal scientist whose position has shifted on the subject.

Not only that, warmer temperatures will actually reduce the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic and those making landfall, research meteorologist Tom Knutson reported in a study released Sunday.

In the past, Knutson has raised concerns about the effects of climate change on storms. His new paper has the potential to heat up a simmering debate among meteorologists about current and future effects of global warming in the Atlantic.

This guy ought to make it big if he changes his model every two years. He can reach opposite conclusions, and make headlines, each time!

Can't be true.

The AGW-caused hurricane is practically the symbol of the danger posed by Global Warming. Next they'll be telling us that Gore was misquoted in the movie "An Inconvenient Assertion", that he misspoke under fatigue, or that he was too distracted by sniper fire during his Nobel acceptance speech to recall the details on that danger.

In contrast, if a Republican named Gore had made an equally serious error, the mainstream media would be saturated with variants of "Gore lied, people died". I love objectivity!

OK, everyone in Florida, chant after me ...

What do we want?

Global Warming!

When do we want it?

Now!
(or at least before the June 1 start of hurricane season)

Global Warming May Reduce Hurricanes

Since when has "May" been an appropriate term for indicating scientific fact?

As a matter of fact, given that the oceans cover 66-70% of the earth's surface, it's no surprise that ocean temperatures are regarded as a major indicator of global warming activity. So the slight decrease in ocean temperatures indicated by the Argo System oceanic temperature probes over the last several years reflects on the politically correct foundation of AGW alarmism, in my opinion.

They’ll never admit that he’s a fool, so they’ll have to adopt an alternate strategy. Since HRC was the smartest woman in the world before she ran against Obama, (peace be upon him) Gore will have to be the smartest whatever-he-is in the world.

Meanwhile, I am sure that Gore personally knows that he is a fool, and he’s done rather well for himself considering. :)

That's right so start your SUV and turn your thermostat up to 72. Oh, and eat a lot the methane will help too.
