Texsox Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Few thoughts. Hindsight is always better. Sometimes the choice is between two evils. We're all humans. Reagan was perfect for the time, and Dems and Reps voted him in, twice, by wide margins. It all looked good. Momma Hitler has a headache one evening, and tens of thousands of people are alive today.

Every year for the past couple years, when those "number of hurricane predictions" are made, if they're inaccurate, I keep winding up hearing people cite that as evidence that these kooky scientists have no idea what they're talking about with this anthropogenic climate change stuff. Like last year, where the prediction was for a high number again following Katrina's year, then it turned out to be an El Nino year, and somehow that hurricane prediction being wrong proved science isn't there yet.

Eh, I don't think hurricane predictions should be looked at as anything other than gambling with a wee bit of science to it. I think meteorology is fascinating, and there is plenty of scientific study to be had... but to predict an exact number of hurricanes in a given year, to me, is just not something that looks very scientific. It looks like educated guessing. And further, I don't think the number of hurricanes should be looked at one way or another as to potential climate change. Its just too volatile and too statistically deviant to be reliable. numbers are too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can offer an explanation as to what else has caused such an outlying spike, I'd love to hear it. i would imagine he would attribute the large increases on man made carbon releases. but then he would probably say that it's not the main cause of the warming. just a guess.

Could this be the beginning of Gore 08? Can Al Gore do anything between now and Super Tuesday that will not be viewed instantly as a sign of him getting into the race? "Al Gore has regrown his beard. Does he want to return to the 1800's tradition of Bearded Presidents?" "Al Gore has lost weight. Could this be a sign he's ready to declare?" "Al Gore killed and drank the blood of a puppy. Could this now mean he's interested in the position of Senate Majority Leader instead of President?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
