Global Warming Causes Fewer Hurricanes

According to scientists at the NOAA, it is now expected that there will be fewer hurricanes hitting land in the US in the near future. According to Alex Morales from Bloomberg, this may be due to global warming. Yea right!!

With all due respect, Alex, why should we believe this? After Hurricane Katrina hit, we were led to believe that hurricanes were going to destroy the United States in the near future and that it mostly was caused by the Bush Administration and their failure to sign Kyoto. Isn't that what we remember?

Well since Katrina, we've experienced one of the lowest periods of hurricane activity on record. So now it seems a revision is in order. After all, the same NOAA themselves predicted in 2005 that:

The United States can expect ongoing high levels of landfalling tropical storms and hurricanes while we remain in this active era.

Global warming is a political movement to many and for this reason, I believe it needs to be questioned. This is similar to the articles I remember in the UK in 2006 indicating that UK summers were becoming hotter and drier due to global warming. Then in 2007 when we had more rainfall and flooding, global warming suddenly was causing wet weather.

For those of you that take these reports seriously, you must be going out of your mind by now.
