'GLOBAL WARMING' PROTESTERS CALL FOR RESIGNATION OF HURRICANE CENTER DIRECTOR
Drudge Report ^

Posted on 05/31/2006 9:49:37 AM PDT by Lunatic Fringe

SILVER SPRING, MD – Hundreds of concerned citizens and leaders from across the nation will join Hurricane Katrina survivors Wednesday to call for the resignation of the heads of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the NOAA Headquarters just outside of Washington, D.C. During an 11 a.m. demonstration, advocates will demand that NOAA stop covering up the growing scientific link between severe hurricanes and global warming while insisting on real solutions to the problem of global warming.

The protest comes at the start of the 2006 Hurricane season, which officials at the NHC predict will be “a hectic, above-normal tropical storm season.” Speeches begin at 11 a.m. EDT and protestors will carry dramatic props and photographs of Hurricane Katrina. A 37-hour demonstration will follow, lasting until midnight on June 1st, with picketing during the day and a candlelight vigil by night.

After a record four major hurricanes hit Florida in 2004, the 2005 hurricane season was even more devastating. Of the six most powerful hurricanes ever to hit America in the past 150 years, three occurred within 52 days in 2005. Yet, despite a flurry of peer-reviewed scientific studies linking planetary warming to storms like Katrina, leaders at NOAA and the NHC continue to claim that the recent hurricane devastation is part of a "natural cycle."

But all the movie stars say that global warming is causing these hurricanes, it must be so.

Let's see...the earth's average temperature has risen around 1 degree since we began to keep records. The sun is actually burning hotter now. So is the warming because of man, or because of the sun? At this rate we will all be dead in about 200,000 more years.

There was a WSJ article in 1993 that said Algor was conduction a "purge" of government scientists who did not agree with his views of global catastrophe. The purge marches on...

"Al Gore Leads a Purge," by editorial page staff writer Holman Jenkins, Jr., Wall Street Journal, May 25, 1993.

It was Gorbachev who said, near his resignation, that environmentalism was going to be the vehicle to spread Marxism. Then along came Kyoto and its distribution of wealth and capital from the First World to the Third, and the Spotted Owl to remind us that it is not your tree, it's the people's tree.

Now we have Marxist-Lenonist purges and forced resignations of those environmental Trotskys who do not believe the current party line. May the revolution continue!

Unbelieving scientists unperson doublequick to meet under the chestnut tree.

Hundreds of Democrats demand that more industry transfer to China, and demand that science accept the link between bad weather and non-Chinese industry.

Democrats are outraged that at least some scientists continue to believe that weather is "natural" while ignoring the obvious fact that weather is clearly worse during Republican administrations.

The main vehicle to spread Marxism, is just plain stupid people. I'm now convinced this was one of Marx's main idea. "Let's use stupid people, because, their are so many of them, we'll never run out".

There you have it. Stomp out stupidity and ignorance and you stomp out the spread of Leftism.

Well, then, you must have missed the episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher" just after katrina hit when he interviewed a Berkeley scientist who insisted that global warming is creating Super Hurricanes.

I listened to Drudge last Sunday night because my cable had been knocked out by a storm. And he read a collection of media reports starting about 1924 where the media was either hyping the next ice age or global warming. He mused that this has gone on for over 80 years.I guess some folks are going to worry about anything they don't have control over.

The National Weather Service and as it evolved into NOAA, was chartered with forecasting weather and warning of severe weather.

These dimbulbs are now protesting that NOAA can't control the weather?

Isn't that Rove's job?

From what I can tell, most of these 'studies' are computer generated bs. Computers are awesome for modeling known phenomena. But when you model the unknown and call these models studies, you are no longer using science. Science is the study of observed phenomena, not the study of computer generated globally gook. What passes for 'science' these days is a joke.

Editing Error (which I correct herein):
Hundreds of pinko commie moonbats and Communist Party leaders from across the nation will join Hurricane Katrina welfare deadbeats, assorted anarchists and other low life scum Wednesday to demand the execution of the bourgeoisie and intelligentsia. "Power to the Proletariat, down with the Bourgeoisie", "Science is a lie" and "Global Warming IS a religion", said an organizer.
There, that's more like it.

Max Mayfield doesn't buy into the notion that global warming causes more/more powerful hurricanes.

Therefore, he does not conform to the religious views of the watermelons and must be eliminated.

Yes, and there were even 'scientist' claiming the tsunami was caused by global warming. Drag a dollar through a research lab and you can get them to say anything these days.
