Thread: Remember The Global Warming Hurricanes?

Fierce weather monsters predicted to descend on us last year after Katrina? Total hitting the U.S. this season is a big, fat, perfectly round ZERO.

The season, by the way, is June to Late November.

Al Gores got a little explaining to do. I just have a hard time believing that the man that invented the internet could have been so far off on this one.

I can see neither of you live in New England!

Most people tend to misunderstand scientists; in fact, many didn't say that there would be more hurricans of high intensity, but hurricans with higher intensity. That actually has happened, and they never gave an exact period of time, but an estimate.

Meterology isn't that accurate.

Remember, Jake thinks all negative statements of fact are unprovable, therefore useless. Logically, since he said there have been no intense hurricans, that's a useless statement because it's a negative assertion and therefore "unprovable." LoL.

Well, actually, TU has it all wrong:

May 22, 2006
"Although NOAA is not forecasting a repeat of last year's season, the potential for hurricanes striking the U.S. is high," added Lautenbacher.
(Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.)

NOAA News Online (Story 2634)

(My bolding.) Read the article and you will see that Admiral Lautenbacher was refrerring to a specific time iterval, viz., the 2006 hurricane season.

Notice how frequently technocratic utilitarian pseudo-technician mechanics get things wrong? I guess they have a free pass!
Also, be easy on TU about his being logically challenged - he would make assertions like:

"There is not a pink hawk in the U.S. - prove me wrong."!

Giggle snurf har cackle heee heee heee!

I don't get it; you only seem to prove that UT's statements are true with this since the scientists say "potential" (a term not usually associated with certainty). He said that meteorology isn't accurate. How is there a contradiction there?? What the hell is even the point of this whole thread??

He said

they never gave an exact period of time

- and I showed they did, namely the 2006 hurricane season.

The point of the thread is just to take one little swipe at the global warming hysteria.
