AGW/CC predictions contradicted again

[Danae]

WHAT?????

You mean we are not DOOMED(((doomed)))??

But, but, Al said we were DOOMED!!!! What about all those people that gave him money??? Are they (((DOOMED))) now? We must have (((DOOM)))!!! What will we DO!?!?! With out ((DOOM))) we are DOOMED!!!!!(((DOOMED.... doomed)))

[RSmithOpt]

LOOKOUT!!! Expect a major CAT 3 or CAT 4 to hit the East Coast this season.

“Following in the footsteps of an earlier study, government scientists on Tuesday said warmer oceans should translate to fewer Atlantic hurricanes striking the United States. The reason: As sea surface temperatures warm globally, sustained vertical wind shear increases. Wind shear makes it difficult for storms to form and grow.”

A major AlBore talking point taken down. That’s gotta hurt.

[Mamzelle]

Meterologists are like economists. They are never held accountable for failed predictions.

The reason Atlanta faced this long drought is that they've had two years without the "perfect storms" the weather guys promised us.

The hurricanes move up north, bump the Blue Ridge and let down the rain.

But the Atlantic Ocean has BEEN TOO COLD for hurricanes.

I’ll be waiting for the insurance companies to lower their rates.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Does this mean that for those of us who live on the Gulf Coast we should be thankful for Global Warming?

[capt. norm]

With their track record in enumerating the projected hurricanes continues as it has for the past two years, we must be in for some bad ones this year.

[stylin19a]

Fewer Atlantic hurricanes to hit U.S., scientists say

isn't this already true ? just by the changes they made in qualifying what's a tropical storm ?

[idkfa]

warmer oceans should translate to fewer Atlantic hurricanes striking the United States

So that's a good thing, right? Al Bore must hate Florida.

[Pookee]

Considering how accurate their predictions have been over the last few years I guess I better go get some batteries and Tang.

[boomop1]

I am worried now, putz heads.

[bcsco]

Similar thread here: Study: Warming May Reduce Hurricanes albeit from a different source. May be interesting to compare comments.

[Soliton]

It’s clear they have no idea

[CarryingOn]

Hurricane predicting is a very rewarding endeavor. I have noticed over the years that the “predictions” are always adjusted as the season goes along to the number of actual hurricanes. In the end the “prediction” equals the actual number of hurricanes.

[Cyber Liberty]

Considering the accuracy of the forcasters of late, I’d say the Atlantic seaboard is in big trouble.

[JimSEA]

Based on the past track record of hurricane predictions, I would start buying plywood sheets, electric generators and make plans to head for high ground.

[3catsanadog]

I seem to recall after Hurricane Katrina that they announced from the rooftops that the next summer would see even more deadlier and destructive hurricanes in the U.S.

And, of course, there were little hints with that news that it could be because of global warming.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Old theory: Global warming increases hurricanes
New theory: Global warming decreases hurricanes

Scenario 1: More hurricanes
Conclusion: Old theory correct

Scenario 2: Fewer hurricanes
Conclusion: New theory correct

Common theme: Global warming is bad and must be stopped

[Proverbs 3-5]

I thought Al Gorebal-warming told us that warming oceans increased hurricanes. Guess I am mistaken...
