Drudge Blows It: Latest Attack On Gore's Global Warming Stance Falls
Flat


This morning, the Drudge Report has an enormous headline implying that
Al Gore got it wrong in his movie, An Inconvient Truth, when he said
that global warming would create more intense storms:

First, Gore never predicted that there would be more storms in 2006.

He said that global warming made it more likely that there would be
more intense hurricanes in the future.
http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0912-32.htm

Second, the fact that there were fewer hurricanes in 2006 does not
suggest that global warming is not real or not dangerous.

There are other factors -- on a year-to-year basis -- that can reduce
the number and intensity of hurricanes.

The article Drudge links to makes it clear that these factors were in
play: http://www.tbo.com/news/metro/MGBHKNBE0VE.html


Storms were starved for fuel after ingesting masses of dry Saharan
dust and air over the Atlantic Ocean.

Scientists say the storm-snuffing dust was more abundant than usual
this year.

In the season's peak, storms were curving right like errant field
goals.

High pressure that normally hunkers near Bermuda shifted far eastward,
and five storms rode the clockwise winds away from Florida.

Finally, a rapidly growing El Nino, a warming of water over the
tropical Pacific Ocean, shifted winds high in the atmosphere
southward.

The winds left developing storms disheveled and unable to become
organized.


Notably, none of this suggests that future years will be a repeat of
2006.

The Saharan dust, for example, may not be around in significant
quantities next year.

The Tampa Tribune notes, "This year's uneventful season provides no
assurance that next year will be as calm: The Atlantic remains in a
20- to 30-year cycle of high hurricane activity that started in 1995.
Water temperatures are above normal."

Yup, Drudge blew it (don't ask what or who).

It doesn't matter how many caveats are in the article, the truth remains
the same: global warming alarmists predicted a worse hurricane season in
2006 and their prediction was wrong. When a theory makes a prediction
that is wrong, science discounts the validity of the theory.

Why don't you give us the names and affiliations of the scientists who
think global warming is crap? Come on, who are they? What journals do
they publish in?

Global warming and the research involving it has been going on for
decades.

And so it came to pass in the early 21st Century, that one political
party blamed the weather on the other political party.

When the weather failed to match predictions, the blamed party would
answer: "See? We didn't do it after all!"

But the accusing party would just respond: "Yeah? Well just wait."

Idiot, do you think that any science is based on what political parties
think?
