Which Is It? More Or Less Hurricanes With Global Warming?

J.J. Jackson | January 28, 2008

Although a moot point since Global Warming is completely natural, just like Global Cooling and Global Climate Change, we now have a report that contradicts previous assertions that Global Warming was going to lead to an increase in the number and severity of hurricanes:

MIAMI — Intensifying one of the hottest debates in science, a new report concludes that global warming is diminishing the number of hurricanes that strike Florida and the rest of the United States.The study found that the planet’s oceans have been warming for more than a century. No surprise there, but this may be: Those warmer oceans are producing stronger crosswinds that tend to suppress the development and growth of hurricanes, the scientists said.

“We found a gentle decrease in the trend of U.S. landfalling hurricanes as global oceans warmed up,” said Chunzai Wang, an oceanographer and climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Some previous studies found that global warming was increasing the number and intensity of hurricanes, a conclusion that supported the conventional wisdom that warmer seas automatically turbocharge hurricane development.

The new study, by Wang and Sang-Ki Lee of the University of Miami, will be published today in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Uh oh. The orthodoxy is once again being challenged by non-believers. Someone from Al Gore’s Church of Global Warming Alarmism had better go and make their minds right.

Holy Cow! Someone needs to read the memo! You can’t be out there debunking Al Gore like this and not fear for your lives!

[...] correct Mr. Kerry. Recent studies actually show that Global Warming causes fewer storms (like hurricanes) and more information shows that the Earth is not actually warming and somehow, despite Global [...]
