Well, such a finding will not sit well with the envirowackos. Thus, will be discounted as junk science.

Highlight.......

The conclusion many draw from papers such as these is that anthropogenic global warming from the burning of fossil fuels by humans is causing more lethal storms.

A closer look, though, reveals not human actions but rather natural cycles are the primary cause.

Al Gore, among other nutjobs, is deeply disappointed.

anthropogenic?

"I'll take anthropogenic for $400, Alec."

"I'll give you $400 just for SAYING anthropogenic."

Global warming causes everything.

That really is the enviro belief.

Who are you going to believe? These Guys? or Robert Kennedy Jr.

Anyone remember the next ice age stuff, early 70's?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Someone have an email address to send this to Robert Kennedy, Al Gore, Arianna Huffington??

The sciences are complicated. So many studies are supposed to represent a final verdict one way or the other on global warming. One could read the article you just shared then say go to a web site that shows solar cyclic activities that provide the energy output increases during thirty some year cycles that can be used to claim some of the global warming readings of various types can be linked with solar activity. One can read reports such as listed at following site, to see where it can be shown that during the past 6000 years or so, there is evidence that it was warmer during the first half of the Holocene Climatic where surely mankind had little or no effect in increasing CO₂ levels. http://www.co2science.org/scripts/Template/MainPage.jsp?Page=BrowseCatalogEnlarged&sProductCode=v8n37c2 Obviouse at this point, none of those that claim industrialized pollutents etc., that increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmostphere ever provide answers backed up with verifiable data/methods of study why we know the earth was warmer back when people named Greenland because it did not contain ice sheets, but was a fertile land. Obviously long before industrialization came to be.

This can't be true. I just read an article this morning by a knight ridder enviro journalist saying that Katrina is absolutely the work of global warming! :)

Slashdot's linking here from their home page! Let's see how good Jim's servers and code are... I think it'll survive.

Sorry, looking at that data I can tell you it is not characterized by anything, it is noise. Pure noise, no signal, anything found an artifact. I've looked at lots and lots of scientific and statistical data of all kinds over years, and that is exactly what random noise looks like, when nothing is happening except sampling out of a noisy distribution.
