You Dizzy Yet

Did it ever occur to these people that they are beginning to look like a bunch of chickens pecking in the barnyard at ants, instead of serious scientists?

The number of hurricanes and tropical storms forming over the Atlantic may drop this century because of global warming, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a study that contradicts prior research.

The scientists took a climate model that mirrors the increase in Atlantic storms in recent years, and then plugged in forecasts for future warming. The results, published online yesterday in Nature Geoscience, showed a decline in the numbers of both hurricanes and tropical storms.

Today's study challenges theories that climate change will boost storminess. Research last year led by Greg Holland, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, linked last century's increase in hurricane activity to warmer sea surface temperatures.

``This study does not support the notion that increasing greenhouse gases are causing a large increase in Atlantic hurricane or tropical storm frequency,'' the paper's lead author, Thomas Knutson, a NOAA scientist, said May 16 in a conference call with reporters. ``Rather for future climate conditions we simulate a reduction.''

The hoaxers really needs to give it a rest, these predictions are getting so outlandish. What we know about global warming, you could write a book, what we don't know would fill a library. We need to just admit that and stop the nonsense. Next they will be blaming the Chinese Wenchauan Earthquake on global warming, cracking the Earth's crust like an overdone hard boiled egg or some such nonsense.
