This is a case of bad soldiers in the service of a good king.
Bastardi is a terrible forecaster, himself.
His prediction for this year’s tropical season:
“This year has the chance to be an extreme season,” said Bastardi. “It is certainly much more like 2008 than 2009 as far as the overall threat to the United States’ East and Gulf coasts.”
Bastardi is forecasting seven landfalls. Five will be hurricanes, and two or three of the hurricanes will be major landfalls for the U.S.”

The irritating thing is that it’s Bastardi that year after year is making extreme forecasts of US hurricane landfalls, yet it’s NOAA (who doesn’t predict US landfalls at all, just total activity) or Bill Gray (who makes non-specific landfall probability forecasts) who get abused for “overhyping” the hurricane season to support global warming - and yet another irritation is that the NOAA scientists who do the seasonal forecast, and Dr. Gray, BOTH believe that increased hurricane activity in recent years has NOTHING to do with Global Warming.
Obviously he’s a heretic who must be burned at the stake.

It's 'the hottest year on record', as long as you don't take its temperature (Hansen again )
His name is Basatardi, I am just saying here.../sarcasm on!
If I were Joe, I’d change my name.
He’s also a body builder, I hear.
Just another nutjob who thinks the Earth is warmed by the Sun.
Give that author five points for using the word "haruspices" in a sentence...
Bastardi promised me a dry winter. So far, California has been very wet.
Laptop beats Met Supercomputer: SOI index (at record high) scores a win. (Global Cooling )
Bingo!

Denier! He's crazy. Who would ever use the weather to study climate. It's the trees man, it's all in the trees.
They are all terrible. I don't think I have ever seen a 7 day forcast that was correct past the third day.
I can't even imagine that anyone can believe this global warming crap.
They really think that they can accurately predict the temperature 50 years from now, when they can't even tell you if it's going to rain next Friday.
Sorry Joe, your last name is Itialian for "that's not your real dad."
“He’s also a body builder, I hear.”
Wouldn’t you be, if you had that name?
Hey, I’d be carrying one of those .50 cal pistols!
