“Thus, this year’s lack of storms neither proves, nor disproves global warming.”

Exactly right Jack.

Just as the unusually high number of storms in 2005 proved nothing.

But do the global warming zealots realize that? Nope!

I’d just like to add that if this particular “science expert,” had actually watched An Inconvenient Truth, or read any of the scientific articles on global climate change and its effect on hurricanes, he would find out that they only assert that global warming increases the intensity of such storms (e.g. Katrina when it passed over the unusually warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico). The reason a hurrican forms is more complex than simply temperature, and no reputable scientist could claim otherwise. The number of hurricanes in a given year is in no way related to global warming. Thus, this year’s lack of storms neither proves, nor disproves global warming.

Monty:

Get serious!

When you say “Every scientist that has studied and written scientific articles on this issue (over 1000 of them, to date) agrees that global warming is happening and that humans are primarily responsible for the change” You’re making an absolute statement that is simply not supported by the facts. I have given you one example of a scientist in this post who sees it differently and he is not alone.

Global warming has been happening on and off since the planet was formed. However, there is NO absolute conclusion by “Every scientist that has studied and written scientific articles on this issue” that man is responsible for the most recent changes.

Thank you for confirming the point of my post which is that some people prefer ideology over science.

Monty, I would agree that we should look at alternative fuel choices, but the “left wing” as you so quaintly called them always pushes their agenda in such radical ways (purely my opinion) by demanding that we (the USA) make drastic changes that would affect the entire national economy, if not the economy of the world. We cannot do that, we need to change slowly, not overnight. We did not go from the wagon to the space shuttle in a single bound, we had to deal with the model T and the Wright brothers first. I agree that polution is bad for the earth, I wish everyone would recycle, I wish fuel was cleaner, but the cleanest power available is also under attack (nuclear). Honestly it almost seems as if to make a few squeeky wheels happy we have to live in the woods, eat turnips, and supply abortions on demand, but who wants to live like that…….no TV?

Environmentalists are well aware that the Earth goes through cooling and heating cycles. Even in the middle of an ice age there will be years where you can soak up the sun. That does not change the overall outlook, however. One year is not a basis for refuting the statistics for thousands of years.

Every scientist that has studied and written scientific articles on this issue (over 1000 of them, to date) agrees that global warming is happening and that humans are primarily responsible for the change. To pretend that this is some left-wing conspiracy is about as useful as (the tired cliché) re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic.

We need to stop arguing about what all scientists have already concluded, and start working on a solution.

Think of it this way: What is the harm on fixing the problem if it is a left-wing conspiracy? What harm will be done if we do nothing and it turns out the greenies are correct? I do not want to be on the wrong side of those questions.

Richard: We’re all relieved that the hurricane hysterics were proved wrong this year.

It started off pretty bad with the “breaking news” every 15 minutes speculating on that first storm, but things quieted down after that.

It’s no use trying to inform global warming hysterics that the earth has gone through heating and cooling cycles before which are totally independent of man’s activity. They simply refuse to listen.

The not so secret dirty secret is that ideology, not science, is driving the craze.

I too live on the coast and work in Emergency Management so we were gearing up for the “big season”, we were lucky this year. I read a book a few years ago called “The Highlanders”, about Scotland and its history. A part of the book discussed the warm weather that saturated the region for almost a century causing widespread chaos in the production of food, and all this happened before Bush became President (weeping and nashing of teeth from some readers). The facts stand that the earth goes through phases, and something as simple as a volcano can produce more green house gases than man can……and the earth survives……now this MAY have killed the dinosaurs, but that is another story, they did not have satelite TV.
