Hurricane Seasons Grow Longer

These "fellows" have no idea what their talking about. I honestly think they start with a conclusion and work backwards to find or create evidence to support their theories. They been wrong about the last two seasons. While I believe we should do what we can to help the earth be cleaner, the earth changes and has forever and will continue to do so............ no human can stop that. I think Global Warming is a crock!!! People who believe in it are, therefore, "crockpots."

Do you want to pay the extra two percent each in municipal and federal taxes to support it?-------------------------------------MYTH: Even if global warming is a problem, addressing it will hurt American industry and workers.FACT: A well designed trading program will harness American ingenuity to decrease heat-trapping pollution cost-effectively, jumpstarting a new carbon economy.Claims that fighting global warming will cripple the economy and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs are unfounded. In fact, companies that are already reducing their heat-trapping emissions have discovered that cutting pollution can save money. The cost of a comprehensive national greenhouse gas reduction program will depend on the precise emissions targets, the timing for the reductions and the means of implementation. An independent MIT study found that a modest cap-and-trade system would cost l

For instance, we might not know if it will be below freezing on a specific December day in New England, but we know from our understanding of the region's climate that the temperatures during the month will generally be low. Similarly, climate tells us that Seattle and London tend to be rainy, Florida and southern California are usually warm, and the Southwest is often dry and hot. Today’s climate models can now reproduce the observed global average climates over the past century and beyond. Such findings have reinforced scientist’s confidence in the capacity of models to produce reliable projections of future climate. Current climate assessments typically consider the results from a range of models and scenarios for future heat-trapping emissions in order to identify the most likely range for future climatic change.

(Didn't happen) these guys barely get the weather right for the next day, how do they know anythingMYTH: Accurate weather predictions a few days in advance are hard to come by. Why on earth should we have confidence in climate projections decades from now?FACT: Climate prediction is fundamentally different from weather prediction, just as climate is different from weather.It is often more difficult to make an accurate weather forecast than a climate prediction. The accuracy of weather forecasting is critically dependent upon being able to exactly and comprehensively characterize the present state of the global atmosphere. Climate prediction relies on other, longer ranging factors. For instance, we might not know if it will be below freezing on a specific December day in New England, but we know from our understanding of the region's climate that the temperatures during

what does it all mean? tune in next century, oh, yeah we`ll all be dead.

Sceince has improved, however the understanding of what is being stated has diminish so much that the acuracy rarely matters because to many don't take the time to listen!
