As for hurricanes -
Gee whillikers - why is there no data for 2006 and 2007? Could you have just possibly neglected to mention it because it doesn't fit your template? The point of my mention of hurricanes was the complete failure of the climate panic crowd's predictions about those hurricane seasons. The GORE himself led the way in this extended quote from a speech given to the National Sierra Club Convention September 9, 2005, available at http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0912-32.htm.:
“Now, the scientific community is warning us that the average hurricane will continue to get stronger because of global warming. A scientist at MIT has published a study well before this tragedy showing that since the 1970s, hurricanes in both the Atlantic and the Pacific have increased in duration, and in intensity, by about 50 %. The newscasters told us after Hurricane Katrina went over the southern tip of Florida that there was a particular danger for the Gulf Coast of the hurricanes becoming much stronger because it was passing over unusually warm waters in the gulf. The waters in the gulf have been unusually warm. The oceans generally have been getting warmer. And the pattern is exactly consistent with what scientists have predicted for twenty years. Two thousand scientists, in a hundred countries, engaged in the most elaborate, well organized scientific collaboration in the history of humankind, have produced long-since a consensus that we will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes of global warming.”
Yet after the severity of the 2005 Atlantic season, here are the final statistics for the 2006 Atlantic season:
- Four tropical storms and five hurricanes
- One storm in the Gulf of Mexico
- No Category Four storms
- No Category Five storms
- No storms coming ashore in the United States.
2007 was a little worse, with two tropical depressions, a subtropical storm, eight tropical storms, and six hurricanes (one of which was upgraded after the fact from a tropical storm). I won't tie up more space here analyzing it; I'll post a summary over on my page at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Accounts/BlogSource.aspx?blog=WriterofLight9282. The point of the hurricane discussion is to expose the fraudulence of The GORE's fearmongering.

Our dear
friend, the Writer of Light, sent me an email and confessed that he's really a Democrat trying to defame the Republican Party with his nonsensical remarks. I told him that they deserved a good payout.
