08/20/2006: "Global Warming and Hurricanes: Nobody Knows Anything"

Read This

What happened to the record Hurricane season we were supposed to have this year? If it wasn't going to be a record, it was certainly supposed to be an active season right? Maybe that is just what we were lead to believe....

.... And guess what was to blame for the frequent and more intense hurricanes.... Global Warming.

If global warming is the reason we had an unusually active hurricane season last year, and this year is supposedly even warmer, then where are the hurricanes this year? You know how many we have had? Zero. None. There have been 3 named tropical storms this year in the Atlantic. This time last year there were 9, and we are fast approaching the anniversary of the one that made the world freak out about global warming and hurricane activity.

Maybe I got a different feel for how the media, politicians, scientists were explaining things this past spring when predicting the hurricane season and why. I was under the impression that global warming is the reason and that we will just have more seasons like last year and the world is going to end because of global warming and please stop me from this run on sentence if you can I should ride a bike and eat soy products.

So here is the surprise... are you ready.... Atlantic sea temperatures are down this year. Say it aint so... down? You mean it got cooler??

You may ask, "What in the world does that mean?"

I can tell you.

In the narrowest of terms, nobody knows jack about the effect rising air temperatures has on hurricanes.

Yeah, thats right. No ones knows. Don't let the so-called "experts" on TV threaten you with rising temperatures, and global calamities in order to get you to live a certain way, or vote a certain way. They don't know. They have an agenda.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should pollute more, or spray oil into the ocean, or light tires on fire. There are better reasons to be more environmentally friendly.

That is a topic for another day.
