But you know that this one kook will overshadow all the others who said the opposite:
MONTEREY, California (Reuters) – A leading U.S. government storm researcher said on Monday that the record hurricane season last year can be attributed to global warming.
“The hurricanes we are seeing are indeed a direct result of climate change and it’s no longer something we’ll see in the future, it’s happening now,” said Greg Holland, a division director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
Holland told a packed hall at the American Meteorological Society’s 27th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology in Monterey, California that the wind and warmer water conditions that fuel storms that form in the Caribbean are “increasingly due to greenhouse gases. There seems to be no other conclusion you can logically draw.”
See, it is not just about any sort of climatological change, but as a direct result of Man. Unfortunately for Mr. Holland, others say different. But climate change as caused by Man is not a science, it is a Faith. Kinda like all those folks in Jonestown.
Holland, director of the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Division of the federal research center, said tropical storm anomalies in the 1940s and 1950s can be explained by natural variability.
Of course. Couldn’t possibly be a natural and usual occurence in the life cycle of the Earth. They have to be just abnormalities. Snicker.
However, for all those who think it is all Bush’s fault:
But he said carbon dioxide started changing traceable patterns in the 1970s and by the early 1990s, the atmospheric results were affecting the storm numbers and intensities.
So, since it got really bad during the 90’s, it’s Slick’s fault :)
