'Fewer hurricanes' as world warms

LOL, global warming: The theory no observation can disprove. If it predicts A and you see not A, they just change the theory.

Someone needs to track these changing positions so we can use their own words to put an end to this madness. The lefts’ words on global warming are as consistent as on the foreign policy. The best way to defeat them is to show their own inconsistencies.

Just more of the same, blowing smoke outta their collective butts. :0)

Beam me to Planet Gore !

“Hurricanes and tropical storms will become less frequent by the end of the century as a result of climate change, US researchers have suggested.

But the scientists added their data also showed that there would be a “modest increase” in the intensity of these extreme weather events. “

So less but more may occur, but in any event, it is due to global warming.

First rule of liberalism - make statements based on flawed or faked science, but make them in such a way that it would be difficult to get caught.

Rule #2 - if you get caught anyway (because liberals really are not so bright), then change the theory that you push to fit the new evidence.

Rule #3 we are bound to see soon - If rule 1 and 2 above still don’t work, scream and holler, call those who prove you wrong all sorts of names like “racist”, or “pig”, and finally, threaten.

Global warming is a good thing. We get well over 200” of snow a year were I live and it snowed a bit this morning. Our winter starts in mid-October and goes through April. We can’t plant in our garden until last weekend of may. We’d use less fuel and wood to heat with. For those greenies out there, save the forest and put less pollution into the atmosphere. The lower cost for heating fuel would be great for this economically depressed area. And longer growing season would mean more food and lower prices.

See if you too can be a scientician. Do you:

• Predict that things will "change" in the future?
• Have models that describe this "change", but may be tweaked and refined until they correlate with anything that is actually observed?
• Enjoy couching everything you say in weasel words to cover for a theory that is so vague and ill-defined that it can be used to predict any "change"?

If so, you too may have the makings of a scientician.

[Always Right]

Just change the model to match the results and then the model is perfect again.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Computer models.” Garbage in, garbage out.

I wish these idiots would make up their minds! In 2004 I went through 4 hurricanes. Now they tell me the earth is not warming but cooling because of Global Warming. Global cooling will Increase the amount of hurricanes now? If I buy ethanol will that offset Atlantic currents and thus avoid hurricane formations? What is the opposite of Blue? I WANT ANSWERS HERE!!!!! :-)

Global warming will cause...well, uh...whatever happens in the future...

"The model is simulating increased intensity of the hurricanes that do occur, and also increased rainfall rates.

This is not science. This is a hobby like model trains, cars and planes. None of them are the real thing. A fake model is not the basis of policy.

“Computer models.” Garbage in, garbage gospel out.

A validated model is extremely valuable. Otherwise it's a junior high science project.

[PA Engineer]

Otherwise it's a junior high science project.

You are being very generous.

[SkyDancer]

I thought they were saying we would have more hurricanes and fiercer hurricanes due to global warming ..... the reason there haven’t been as many so far was due to cooling .... confusing, yes?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I didn’t say an award winning junior high science project.

Perhaps -- just perhaps -- by next February when the Dems control all branches of the federal government, another cold and unusually snowy winter will dampen the enthusiasm for taxing the snot out of us to prevent global warming.

I said, "perhaps."
