now wait a minute - this can't be. Where is AlGore to explain why this is???????

[pgyanke]

I’ll settle for one at this point... we could sure use a tropical storm in Raleigh to fix our water deficit...

Just an FYI to other who might not know this, but William Gray is a Global Warming Skeptic.

[kromike]

You just wait...the GW Hysterics will scuttle out from underneath their various moss-covered rocks to screech that because of g.w. there are fewer hurricanes?

How so, you may politely ask?

Because the scientists simply said so. There's no more argument. Now give them all your money and go live in a sod hut and wear bearskins.

[Bon mots]

This is impossible. Al Gore told us that we would continue to get more and more powerful Hurricanes.
More Katrinas!

Algore is deeply saddened.

Nah, Darth Rove’s weather machine is saving them all up for the summer of 2009 to embarrass President Hildebeest. ;)

Solar minimum.

Yeah, I know it's more complex than that.

[TommyDale]

The liberals and the enviro-wackos are deeply saddened.

World Climate Change - Didn't you get the memo? Everything is because of climate change.

Forecaster lowers '07 hurricane estimate

We're DOOMED!!! We're DOOMED!!

[RetiredArmy]

We’ve had one storm to this point, right? If these predictions come true, then from here to October is going to be hell. Duh.

Al Gore on suicide watch.........

[JZelle]

Just kidding

[tgslTakoma]

now wait a minute - this can't be. Where is AlGore to explain why this is???????

Well, this is certainly good news, and no doubt due to AlGore's energizing and mobilizing the world to stop Global Warming.

Thank you, AlGore - for stopping at least two hurricanes this year.

A decrease in the number of hurricanes proves global warming, as does an increase. Any questions?

[tomnbeverly]

First of all every professional scientist knows that less Hurricanes are an indication that global warming exists in this cooling climate... Yes you see everyone watched The Day After Tomorrow and that explains why we will have decreased Hurricanes in the Summer but in the Winter we can expect massive hurricanes that suck super cooled outer space air down to the earth to cause and ice age which will require global warming to get back to an equal balance... so you see we need to create more CO2 gas in order to stop the impending Ice age...

No I’m not really a large brained scientist, nor a Liberal radical activist...

I just slept at a Holidy Inn Express last night....

LOL

[saganite]

Karl Rove is still depressed from the ‘06 election results and doesn’t play with the Hurricane machine as much as he used to.

[gridlock]

This is the second time the estimate has been lowered. As more and more of the Summer passes, it only makes sense to lower the prediction.

The larger question, though, is what is the purpose of this “prediction”? It doesn’t make sense from a preparedness point of view, because whether the number of storms is 6 or 16, the chances of it hitting any particular point is still small.

The technique used to make this prediction is obviously deficient. Since the prediction serves no purpose, the NWS should just dispense with the practice, altogether.
