Scientist Shifts View on Global Warming

WASHINGTON (May 18) - Global warming isn't to blame for the recent jump in hurricanes in the Atlantic, concludes a study by a prominent federal scientist whose position has shifted on the subject.

Not only that, warmer temperatures will actually reduce the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic and those making landfall, research meteorologist Tom Knutson reported in a study released Sunday.

In the past, Knutson has raised concerns about the effects of climate change on storms. His new paper has the potential to heat up a simmering debate among meteorologists about current and future effects of global warming in the Atlantic.

Ever since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, hurricanes have often been seen as a symbol of global warming's wrath. Many climate change experts have tied the rise of hurricanes in recent years to global warming and hotter waters that fuel them.

Another group of experts, those who study hurricanes and who are more often skeptical about global warming, say there is no link. They attribute the recent increase to a natural multi-decade cycle.

What makes this study different is Knutson, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's fluid dynamics lab in Princeton, N.J.

He has warned about the harmful effects of climate change and has even complained in the past about being censored by the Bush administration on past studies on the dangers of global warming.

He said his new study, based on a computer model, argues "against the notion that we've already seen a really dramatic increase in Atlantic hurricane activity resulting from greenhouse warming."

Its all a sham, maaan.

Gore is the ultimate whore.

No way, there's mucho green with going green, especially when you have one of the largest companies for buying carbon offsets, just another way for rich, Hollywood, liberal, guilty idiots to justify why they can heat/cool 10 mansions, fly GV's and drive Merc G600s, when they're the only ones who can afford this sham.

It's all man-bear-pigs fault.

Gore simply wanted to stand for something after losing the 2000 election and falling off the face of the earth for a few years. And he's brilliant in a sense that he jumpstarted the one issue that would concern anybody...hot temperatures, drastic changes in weather patterns, death, destruction, and eventually (or even "soon") the total annihilation of the planet. It's a highly politicised topic where you have scientists saying that global warming is a serious threat, while alot of others say there is no such thing and that the Earth goes through these warming and cooling cycles. It was said a few years ago that the Earth would be out of it's warming cycle within the next few years and the global warming fear mongering would be put to rest. And we're definitely starting to see that now. And granted, we do need to work on finding ways to minimize the amount of pollution we produce. But the whole "our children or our grandchildren are going to die because we don't drive Prius'" or the "Day After Tomorrow" scenario of death and destruction overnight is just hype over nothing. But people get sucked in and will believe anything you tell them.

But he created the interwebs. Without Al Gore I wouldn't be able to stream my daily dose of bukakke porn.

First he invents the internet, then he invents global warming. I'm hoping his next invention will be another good one. It will be like the Star Trek movies, except that the odd numbered inventions will be good and the even ones will be bad.
