The mere fact that there've not been the numerous and strong hurricanes this season that were predicted should tell us something....

It tells us nothing about global warming.

As did last year's record season. While we had hurricane after hurricane in the Atlantic, there was a dearth of typhoons in the West Pacific, where there normally are dozens every year. And for all the claims that the number of strong storms have increased, other scientists have pointed out that we had limited sat data 30 years ago and it's apples to oranges to compare that timeline.

Yes, it tells us nothing about global warming and something about their prediction models...

What are the assumptions these models are based on?

I travel a lot...so 5-7 days before leaving for my destination, I start paying attention to the weather predictions there...9 out of 10 times, the forecasts are off to some degree or another. So why do I still persist, you may ask! LOL!

Good points and this shows that the facts cannot be ignored...or extrapolated to outcomes that are less then certain. And certainly means, as the author states, we should NOT be hampering humankind and industry that might do more to hurt the poor among us and cause massive economic hardships without knowing if the "fix" actually fixes.

The pretensiveness of the eco-dogooders is startling. The arrogance of turning science into a political position should bother us all. This really isn't that different, as Michael Crichton points out, than the massive scientific "proof" for eugenics that led to the Nazi governemnt-led murder of thousands of feeblemined and other less fortunate folks.

Irrespect of hurricanes, the news yesterday was about the "Ozone Hole". This year it's bigger than ever ~ a regular record buster ~ and the reason given is that the atmosphere around and over Antarctica is colder than ever ~ record breaking!

I listened to the news-readers gloss right over that one ~ colder than ever ~ while associating the "Ozone Hole" with "Global Warming".
