No Hurricanes, No Warming, No Worries!

The radio news this morning said it would be the first hurricane to make landfall this year, and that it is late in the 2009 hurricane season. It's been downgraded. Now it's a tropical storm and Ida is making things generally moist for the coast-dwellers.

Those who have been paying close attention will recall that the GLOBAL WARNING EVERYBODY PANIC!!! crowd was saying that Global Warming (man-caused, no less) would be causing increasing numbers of hurricanes, and they would be increasingly bad, in the short-term (read: this year and last year) future.*

Weeeeeeell, last year was the coolest in recent history, and we're looking at 11 years of cooling now. That would be, in the face of rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere, which was supposed to make it hotter (according to climate modeling software designed to make it look like the world would heat up no matter what). Also, how's that whole "whole lotta hurricanes" prediction working out for you?

Still believe in the glowbull wormening?

Why?

********

*Al Gore, et. al., were capitalizing on the Katrina/Rita fears which were fresh in our national memory. Because he makes MONEY off your fears of global warming.
