A truly uninformed article. It attempts to make a point about the irony of a president who doesn't take global warming seriesly having to listen to hurricane scientists. But, as you point out, somehow the author isn't clued in to the fact that the most prominent hurricane scientists, Gray and Mayfield, are not in the global warming camp, at least so far as hurricanes are concerned. Gray isn't in it at all.
OTOH, I believe that it is documented that Bush is, in fact, in the global warming camp.
There's lots more ignorance in the article, like the complaint about the deforestation of the US, which is false, the opposite has occurred. In fact there is a study out claiming that the US as a country removes more carbon from the air than it emits, due to reforestation.
A new study concludes that heat-stressed trees are net out-gassers.
