New MIT study validates hurricane prediction

This is ablosultely amazing! The new "study" actually showed Kerry to be wrong, and showed that scientists are NOWHERE near understanding the link between global warming and storm activity as the findings were radically different than the ones from just 2 years ago.

And despite all this, we now quote this article to prove anything?

Hurricane expert reconsiders global warming's impact

"One of the most influential scientists behind the theory that global warming has intensified recent hurricane activity says he will reconsider his stand.

The hurricane expert, Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, unveiled a novel technique for predicting future hurricane activity this week. The new work suggests that, even in a dramatically warming world, hurricane frequency and intensity may not substantially rise during the next two centuries.

The research, appearing in the March issue of Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, is all the more remarkable coming from Emanuel, a highly visible leader in his field and long an ardent proponent of a link between global warming and much stronger hurricanes."

Kerry (Emanuel's) take on his own new study was that it didn't prove his previous study wrong. Somehow I tend to believe his interpretation of his study.
