WASHINGTON — Top researchers now agree that the world is likely to get stronger but fewer hurricanes in the future because of global warming, seeming to settle a scientific debate on the subject. But they say there's not enough evidence yet to tell whether that effect has already begun.
Since just before Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005, dueling scientific papers have clashed about whether global warming is worsening hurricanes and will do so in the future. The new study seems to split the difference. A special World Meteorological Organization panel of 10 experts in both hurricanes and climate change - including leading scientists from both sides - came up with a consensus, which is published online Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience.
This is a joke. Seth Borenstein says the debate is settled. You don't settle debate by consensus. I have not heard one mention of the scientific method. How about applying the scientific method and coming up with some cold hard evidence of global warming, let alone the effect on hurricanes. That is how you 'settle' debates. Lets have some data on what the hurricane season was like during the last ice age or the warming period during the Medieval Warm Period.
Remember climate scientists, Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You have squandered your credibility and done great damage your reputation. It'll be a cold day in hell before many people believe another one of your 'studies'.
The lack of embarrassment by Mr. Borenstein and the consensus makers leads only to the conclusion that you climate change is a religion, these people are incredibly arrogant and they will do what ever it takes to push their political agenda.
