With cataclysmic predictions that hurricanes would swarm from the tropics like termites, no one thought 2006 would be the most tranquil season in a decade.
Barring a last-second surprise from the tropics, the season will end Thursday with nine named storms, and only five of those hurricanes. This year is the first season since 1997 that only one storm nudged its way into the Gulf of Mexico.

Going from global warming and the disasters of 2005 to global climate change and the big fat nothing of 2006 I have to say damn those scientists renaming things and screwing this up for us. Now we have to wait another year and hope and pray that some big disaster hits before "W" gets out of office so we an blame more death and destruction on him. How can we whip the mindless masses into a hearty frenzy if the scientists do not cooperate??
What was wrong with global warming anyways?
Even if it gets colder we can still call it that, not like the average American pays attention to it anyways.
Global warming is real, and can be felt everywhere.
Science has not made a correlation between global warming and storms. You can check the website on hurricanes and it's written in plain, so far there's no knowledge on this subject.
There is a consensus right now that global warming is caused by human activities and especially the release of carbon dioxyde. That view may be challenged in the future.
However this does not change a thing to the fact that temperatures are indeed warming, quite fast and with self evident consequences.
It's like evolution. Evolution is a fact. You may discuss the reasons explaining the fact (natural selection, initial or on going design), not the fact.
So far and on the basis of the knowledge available it is wiser to try to limit carbon dioxyde emissions, and bush is criminal for not doing anything.
Just checked to make sure
for instance
http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/glob_warm_hurr.html
All i ve read is may be higher temperatures will lead to stronger hurricanes and we should see it clearly in a long time (the link says in 100 years)
You can blame W bush for not doing anything for energy conservation without even mentionning global warming.
And hopefully Bush will be out of office before the end of his term.
did it ever occur to you that all this "warming/climate change" is part of the normal cycles of the earth?????
(baka)
BWAHAHAHAHA
Did you just blame Bush for Global Warming? That is SOOO FUNNY!
Do you blame him for everything that does not go your way? LOL
I find it funny that you leave no room for even the slightest possibility that there were WMD is Iraq, something that many countries had proof of, but you totally believe in Global Warming, something that experts cant prove or even agree on. EXPERTS IN THAT EXACT FIELD DONT EVEN AGREE.
Isnt there some kind of sickness where someone will believe whatever the most negative option is in any situation?
I think its called being French.
Posted by: cwilli at November 30, 2006 08:43 PMExperts all agree on global warming.
Somet still believe it may be part of the normal cycles of the earth. And indeed the reason of this global warming are unknown.
None ever explained the specific hurricanes of last year by global warming.
I don't think that believing that there were no WMD in Iraq was negative.
I m not sure that believing that global warming is caused by humans is more negative than if it's caused by natural cycles. After all if it's caused by humans we can do sth about it, if it is caused by solar activity or other causes, we can do little.
Being french is being scientific and lucid, something christian fundamentalists ruling the USA can not understand.
That makes a whole lot of sense, DF: Experts all agree but some believe something else.
WRONG. Experts do not agree. Not even the French ones.
Global warming is a hoax. Period.
Just like the experts said how horrible this hurricane season was suppost to be this year. They said something like 1 in 4 Americans would be affected. Was suppost to be the worst season ever!
Nothing.
Again its funny how you believe so strongly in something that experts have been wrong about so many times, but your absolutly sure that Saddam didnt have any WMD.
Face the facts, DF. Nobody can prove either and that makes me just as right as you on both issues.
