Hurricane Hysteria Revisited
FOXNews – Jan 31, 2008
The model omitted at least two other known factors — atmospheric humidity and sea level pressure — and other more mysterious factors such as the tendency of hurricane activity to occur in cycles that are decades long. Even though sea surface temperatures seem to have warmed it’s not at all clear that Atlantic hurricane activity has truly increased. As recently described in. worldclimatereport. So the increased hurricane activity of 1995-2005 “thus appears to represent a recovery to normal hurricane activity rather than a direct response to increasing sea surface temperature” according to World Climate Report… So the increased hurricane activity of 1995-2005 “thus appears to represent a recovery to normal hurricane activity rather than a direct response to increasing sea surface temperature” according to World Climate Report. Finally regardless of whether warmer sea surface temperatures are associated with increased hurricane activity the University College London researchers admitted that “Our analysis does not identify whether greenhouse gas-induced warming contributed to the increase in water temperature and thus to the increase in hurricane activity. ” Since the entire global warming debate depends on whether manmade greenhouse gas emissions drive climate change without a link between such emissions and sea surface temperature changes the claimed sea surface temperature-hurricane activity link is at best an academic point. The other hurricane study published in Geophysical Research Letters (Jan. 23) and not widely reported by the media comes from climate scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

However the Redskins fought off momentum and the rally to escape with a 68-62 victory. "Wow! That’s all I can say is wow" Hurricane coach Dwayne Sowards said. "One of my kids — right there toward the end — said ‘Coach we just didn’t want you comfortable in a 20-point game. ‘ That was the Statler kid. "That would be Zack Statler who finished with 16 points on the evening but the hero for the Redskins would be Jared Nicely with a game-high 18. His final two points came at the free throw line with 51 seconds left to break up Cabell Midland’s 23-point jaunt.
