Global Warming Consensus Alert
Welcome to the first edition of the PowerBlog’s GLOBAL WARMING CONSENSUS ALERT, where we highlight examples of the strength and uniformity of the scientific consensus on this important issue, which is of course completely settled due to our exhaustive knowledge of our planet’s atmosphere and climate systems.In today’s installment, the unsinkable ship of climate consensus sails on:
In recent years some scientists have suggested that human-induced greenhouse warming may be increasing the intensity of Atlantic hurricanes by heating up the sea water from which they draw their energy.
In February a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said it was “more likely than not” that humans contribute to a trend of increasingly intense hurricanes.
But researchers in the new study said increased wind shear could counter the effect of warming waters in the Atlantic.
“The environmental changes found in the study do not suggest a big increase in tropical Atlantic hurricane activity during the 21st century,” said Brian Soden, a co-author of the report.
Hmm. Looks like Al Gore might have to change that iconic movie poster.
Stupid Inconvenient Facts!
