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."
WHEN: 11 A.M. EDT, Wednesday, May 31st thru midnight on Thursday, June 1st

I understand that if we put environmentalist/socialist/marxist/ecoterrorists in charge, all the world's problems will be solved. /sarc
Rush brought this up yesterday - let them pound sand!
I see that this bunch has finally gone completely over the edge...

Facts be damned..there is an agenda that comes first
Wonder if the former vice president/failed presidental candidate will show up?
Further, when will the scientists themselves see this and begin to fight back against the politics.
the pot is really starting to boil. feel the heat yet?
Then again when did such facts ever persuade the koolaid drinkers. "We knows the truth - who needs facts?"
Yep-they don't need no steenkin' facts-just a new tinfoil hat and some more koolaid to drink so they can stay in Lala land where humans can control the weather...
We're in a drought here in Texas, FIRE THE CHANNEL 4 WEATHERMAN, IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!!!
/sarc
Sheesh!
Typical neurotic reaction --- shoot the messenger.
A handful of insane nutcases want to run the hurricane center with chicken entrails and chicken bones now?
The local talk show host did some research on this group before his program. He says they're basically a bunch of moonbats who came onboard NOAA during (surprise!) the Clinton administration.

Funny you should ask that.
Among the first questions that popped into my mind when I read this article was, who the hell might ... concerned citizens and leaders from across the nation ... be?
Al gore?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
We can probably get thousands (instead of just hundreds)just here on FR to demand that Kerry release his War records--would this be a big story too?
The original Kool-aid gang?
Now there's "leadership"!
I hate to sound mean to the insane... er... the reason-challenged ... but it's time to stock up on more torpedoes...
Idiots. I'm waiting for someone to say, "Do it for the Katrina dead."
This was *yesterday* and the wall-to-wall media coverage is just starting to wear on my nerves. /sarc off
(Pssst--has anyone seen anything on this at all? There is NOTHING in news searches.)
The sky is falling, and anyone who says it isnt needs to be fired.
