Weren't you an adult Being an adult does not ensure brain function. In this case, obviously. 1978-82 when the meteorologists and climatologists were talking about the inception of the ice age? Or were you still popping pimples and absorbed with whatever passed for MTV back then? When that didn't materialize, they blamed dust storms in Africa. Then when a huuricane did hit the Carribean inlate August they predicted heavy hurricane activity for Sept. and October. Wonder what their excuse will be for ****ing up that prediction. Here is the text from the August prediction: http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2007/s2905.htm August 9, 2007 - NOAA's Climate Prediction Center today released its update to the 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook, maintaining its expectations for an above-normal season. As we enter the peak months (August through October) of the Atlantic hurricane season, NOAA scientists are predicting an 85 percent chance of an above-normal season, with the likelihood of 13 to 16 named storms, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes, of which three to five could become major hurricanes (Category 3 strength or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale). (Click NOAA image for larger view of NOAA's 2007 Atlantic hurricane season update. Click here for high resolution version. Please credit "NOAA.") The development of key climate factors through early August has increased the confidence of an above-normal season, and has also led the NOAA team to slightly tighten the ranges that had been given in their May outlook - due to development of La Niña-like conditions exerting influence. In May, NOAA predicted a range of 13-17 named storms, with seven to 10 becoming hurricanes, and three to five becoming major hurricanes. So far there have been 14 named storms, so that part of the forecast is already correct, and might even turn out to be low by the end of the season. Only 4 of them have reached hurricane strength, though Noelle still has a 50% chance of reaching that level, and has already caused more deaths than all but one of the hurricanes. That is indeed below the prediction. Two have been major hurricanes (not counting Noelle, which has had as much effect as one). They could still have one more by the end of the season. They predicted 85% likelihood of an above average season. Average is 8.6 named storms and 5.0 hurricanes. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib...01871-1998.pdf p20 They are well above the named storm average, and easily could still exceed the hurricane average. And the average for September and Oct is 4.7 named storms and 2.7 hurricanes September alone had 8 named storms and 3 hurricanes. October added a 9th with Noelle. So going by your erroneous version of the prediction, the NWS was right on target. But of course you are perfectly free to ignore NWS forecasts if you wish. I have some nice Florida property you can buy - it only got hit by 4 hurricanes in one year a couple years back, and there are even still some trees standing. Curious how you cite data then misinterpet or blatantly lie about it. I don't see you correcting any misstatements. The article contradicts the hurricane predictions we've been fed most of this year. You'll have to provide a cite. Noel is now a hurricane, BTW, so one more by the end of the year, and that also will match the forecast. Google "hurricane predictions for 2007." I hope Noel drenches the drought areas, but that still wouldn't prove your misstatements. There have been exactly two predictions this year from the NHC, one a refinement and not a contradiction of the other. If you've read some other prediction, then the source was apparently not the Weather Service, or you misread it. I'm talking about predictions from climatologists and meteorologists throughout the country. Not restricting it to NHC. One prediction that they didn't make concerns the drought throughout much of the East coast and West coast. The National Hurricane Center doesn't make predictions about droughts. You are attempting to change the subject. None of this has much to do with long term climatological forecasts, in any event. lojbab See above. |

You obviously have a strange definition of "civilized", that a particular political system would change whether a society is "civilized". By most definitions, even being able to HAVE a political system means that there is civilization. Just because more people agree with them doesn't suddenly make socialism normal.... You also have a strange definition of "normal" if it excludes that which most nations and people agree with. |

Furthermore, they cannot prove that the 1 degree rise has been man-made or that man can control the temperature. _________ EXCERPT: "We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realise how foolish it was," Dr Gray said. _______________________ Gore gets a cold shoulder October 14, 2007 Climate crusader: Al Gore. ONE of the world's foremost meteorologists has called the theory that helped Al Gore share the Nobel Peace Prize "ridiculous" and the product of "people who don't understand how the atmosphere works". Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, told a packed lecture hall at the University of North Carolina that humans were not responsible for the warming of the earth. His comments came on the same day that the Nobel committee honoured Mr Gore for his work in support of the link between humans and global warming. "We're brainwashing our children," said Dr Gray, 78, a long-time professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It's ridiculous." At his first appearance since the award was announced in Oslo, Mr Gore said: "We have to quickly find a way to change the world's consciousness about exactly what we're facing." Mr Gore shared the Nobel prize with the United Nations climate panel for their work in helping to galvanise international action against global warming. But Dr Gray, whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicised, said a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures - related to the amount of salt in ocean water - was responsible for the global warming that he acknowledges has taken place. However, he said, that same cycle meant a period of cooling would begin soon and last for several years. "We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realise how foolish it was," Dr Gray said. During his speech to a crowd of about 300 that included meteorology students and a host of professional meteorologists, Dr Gray also said those who had linked global warming to the increased number of hurricanes in recent years were in error. He cited statistics showing there were 101 hurricanes from 1900 to 1949, in a period of cooler global temperatures, compared to 83 from 1957 to 2006 when the earth warmed. "The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures," Dr Gray said. He said his beliefs had made him an outsider in popular science. "It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd never get any grants if they spoke out. I don't care about grants." http://www.smh.com.au/news/environme...cold-shoulder/ 2007/10/13/1191696238792.html |

You haven't thoroughly reseached the dire hurricane predictions for 2006 and 7. Oh, so now you are going to backpedal and try to change the subject to 2006, when indeed the predictions were wrong, after several messages being wrong about the 2007 prediction. 2006 and 2007, not to mention the weather forecasts for next week. Noel won't even hit the US and have little effect except on beach waves. That's nice. Seasonal hurricane predictions say nothing about whether any hurricanes will hit the US. Of course they do. No they don't. They only estimate the number of storms in the Atlantic basin at each level of intensity. Nope. The scientists put their spin on NHC and predict locations. Everyone of 'em has an opinion I repeat: None of this has much to do with long term climatological forecasts, in any event. If they cannot predict what will happen next week, they cannot predict climatological catastrophe 50 years down the road. Doesn't follow. The prediction for next week is expected to be far more precise than the one for 50 years down the road. If they were predicting that there would be sunshine and 70s in Baltimore the first week of November 2057, you would justifiably be skeptical. My point exactly. And they often screw up the upcoming week's prediction so how can they tell what'll happen 50 years down the road? Hell, I've seen them on TV using Doppler, tracking a storm down Rt. 26 and predicting when it will hit certain communities, by the minute, when POOF, the storm falls apart. Predicting that the average temperature for the whole year is likely to be warmer than this year is much easier. That's nice. Furthermore, they cannot prove that the 1 degree rise has been man-made That merely takes common sense, since we know that things that man does cause effects that raise temperatures. Not global temps. Scientists (as opposed to left-wing pseudoscientists) have charted global rises from the past, before homo saps. The past is easier to see than the future, doncha know. or that man can control the temperature. We might not be able to. But if we don't try, we may be in deep ****. We're in deep **** because of resource depletion caused by overpopulation. Population doubled from 1950-99 to 6 billion. But even here, that is faaaarrrr less than what they predicted in 1964. Let alone what Malthus said a coupla hundred yrs. ago. He cited statistics showing there were 101 hurricanes from 1900 to 1949, in a period of cooler global temperatures, compared to 83 from 1957 to 2006 when the earth warmed. A rather strange claim, since http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/index.html catalogs no less than 87 Atlantic hurricanes between 1996 and 2006. I suspect that the reporter got the story wrong. If indeed the scientist in question actually gave those numbers, he has a non-standard definition of "hurricane". This shows another side to Gore's Group ... a silent side who's not worried about politically-bestowed grants. |
