Story: "Scientists linking the increased strength of hurricanes over recent years to global warming have not accounted for outdated technology that may have underestimated storms' power decades ago, researchers said in a report published Friday.
The research by Chris Landsea of the National Hurricane Center challenges two studies published last year by other respected climatologists.
``The methodology is fine. There's no problem with the way they analyzed the data,'' said Landsea, who is science and operations officer at the hurricane center. ``The problem is with the data itself.''
The study claims historical storm data has been rendered out-of-date by new technology that better estimates the strength of hurricanes. He pointed to advancements in the quality of satellite imagery that is used to estimate a storm's strength when it can't be directly measured by aircraft or on land.
In short, Landsea said, there were far more Category 4 and 5 storms in decades past than previously thought, because satellite imagery has improved so greatly."
And there it is. Some scientists disagree with the greatest myth of our time, Global warming and its devestating effects.

Indeed. It is all a bit doubtful.
Even if there is a link between hurricanes and globabl warming, cutting down emissions may not necessarilly make a signficant enough reduction in global warming to save prevent many hurricanes.
The economic benefits of a more moderate approach to climate change mean that we will have more money to prepare for disaster management and recovery.

Myth? are you freaking serious???
Look around you? look aroudn the world....look at the FACTS. this isn't about a political issue, its a human issue. wake up. open your mind. allow yourself ot actually face reality rather than buy into this rightwing christian propoganda crap.
Finally people are seeing what everyday floridians have known forever.
Hurricanse are random
Ditto on Matt.
Anon, please specify what is fact, and what is fiction.
Then allow me to prove you wrong.
Lol, you are a floridian now, aren't you...
*traitor* :D
OT. It looks like this has turned into PB's blog.
When was the last time anyone else posted?
Actually Anon, it looks as if that is the first time that Palm Boy has even commented on this particular discussion. Please check into it next time you are so quick to attack him.
And here are a few facts for you, not from today either. In their study published in the Wall Street Journal, December 4, 1997, Arthur B. and Zachary W. Robinson state, "During the past 50 years, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen, scientists have made precise measurements of atmospheric temperature. These measurements have definitively shown that major atmospheric greenhouse warming of the atmosphere is not occurring and is unlikely ever to occur." There is more to the study if you would like me to elaborate further. It goes on to state that over the last 3000 years the average temperature is still higher than the temperatures now. Isn't it strange that 3000 years ago, before the emissions of today, that the temperature average was higher than it is in modern times with all the emissions? Strange isn't it?
Finally, since when did believing that global warming is a myth become "right-wing Christian propoganda crap?" The last time I checked, it was a scientist that wrote that article, not a Christian. Another strange thought,.... What if he is right? Could that be a possibility? But your mind is already made up isn't it? No one could ever disagree with you because you are always right.
The 2nd Anon posting was asking about Durandal and Daweed, my fellow warriors against ignorance.
They're in sick bay right now.
Aw, I'm sorry. Didn't know and last time I stoped by it looked like all the posts were yours too.
Yeah, they have been. There in a persistant veggetative state, as we speak. :D
Yet another wonderful example
(provided by Anon again)
Of and attack without basis,
And claims with out facts.
Personal note to Anon: The world might be a little mor elikly to beleive you if you refrenced some evidence.
Just FYI.
