Bad Hurricane Season or No?

[Jappa52]

I thought that this was supposed to be a incredibly bad year for hurricanes but I haven’t heard anything out of the gulf or Atlantic. Not whining since having no hurricanes is a good thing but where did the weather peeps get their info??


Nada?

They get them from where they get every other prediction.  I don't know where that is but I believe they call them "educated guesses" a hypothesis if you will.

The enviro-kooks predicted armageddon back last March when they put out the forecast.  Apparently this, umm, quiet season doesnt fit their global warming mantra.  Im waiting for them to scold the world for the southwest US for daring to have high heat.  You know, like you usually do at summer time.

Give them time, they'll find a reason to blame mankind for some weather event.  I mean, it just HAS to be our fault.

Global warming isn't gonig to happen all at once, and it will happen. Global warming doesn't mean storms every year, there will be quiet years. I firmly beleive in global warming, right here in Tennessee, we're in the biggest drought we've seen in a while. But I know global warming will occur. I have solid proof.

Hurricane season just started.  I wouldn't go counting any chickens just yet.

I certainly hope it is another mild season, but it is far too early to be sure about anything.

I really REALLY wish i could be as "optimistic" as LePaul.

Yes, yes..we all have solid proof....   They used to call it the ice ages.  Imagine, you are standing in New England, and the ice sheet moves slowly down and over your head....my GOD, global cooling!!!!!


Then, some 10,000 years later, you are standing on the ice sheet and it slowly melts away....my GOD, global warming!!!!!!!!  

Repeat the cycle, repeat the mantra.....we just happen to be in a warming cycle...  

Ok, for those who just can't live without a crisis, you'll really have to find another.   Statistics are powerful tools that allow us to evaluate data and determine if there is significance to trends.   In a Six Sigma Blackbelt program, we studied all the available temperature data and found that the current trend IS NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.  That means one cannot conclude, with facts, that there is anything different now than in the past.

I am sorry that this flies in the face of those who would stir you up with fear.   It's how they get you to give them power....  Please don't buy this one.

Re: Hurricanes - Watch the surface water temperatures....  Many hurricane watchers feel this is the key to gauging the current year's forecast...warmer water is bad news...this year, the water temps are lower than some recent years, which may bode well.

Soooooooo... all the forrests that has been cut, co2 and crap spewed out over the last 200 years or so has absolutly no affect on anything? That is awsome!

[McFarland]

No, me solid proof is in the book of truth, the good book, the Holy Bible, King James version, "the winters will be as hot as the summers". "Man shall hide from the sun".

How about stopping with the name calling?

I mean Im sure you can come up with lots of fancy insults or degrading names for people who are concerned about the climate change, just as I can come up with lots of fancy insults or degrading names for people who fail to understand the danger of the climate change...but where does that all get us?

This is the o-club. Perhaps we should try to behave as o's?

[McFarland]

Hortlund, that actually sounds sensible. And Nilsen, it isn't me forecast, it's God's.  So it will happen, as for when, well, I think we're getting really close. It's kinda like being on a train pulling into the station at 100 mph, and we just broke the brake lever.

[Nilsen]

Ok, so i cant really plan my vacation based on the bible? You see.. im going sailing for a week today and it would be great to have a heads-up on the weather from other sources than what i have access to right now.

Haaarrrr, real pirates don't worry about the weather.
