Hurricanes: NASA don't blame unusual climate on global warming

Posted on 21 May 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

Engineers are scientists – sceptics are scientists – so I’m pretty miffed with this propaganda use of “scientist” in the video to suggest that science is a profession and not a methodology.
But the reason I’ve posted this, is because if the shoe were on the other foot – if there had been more hurricanes than normal – we all know with utter certainty that NASA would be explicitly repeatedly endlessly …. telling us it was “caused by global warming”.

What I find incredibly daft – is that of all the things that could be attributed to “global warming”, by far the most likely would be that a “warming blanket” would increase polar temperatures – which because it’s the difference in temperature that drives storms – that we would expect a REDUCTION IN STORMS LIKE HURRICANES.
So, there we have it! Not only is it possible to argue the reduction in hurricanes is caused by CO2, but on balance I suspect that when we have the washup on this scam – the only thing that will be found to have been caused by CO2 warming is this reduction in hurricanes. But these non-scientists at NASA are so overwhelmingly blindingly biased, that they can’t even suggest such an obvious connection BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SPELL DOOM AND GLOOM USING CO2.
This is why they aren’t scientists. A real scientist would suggest a connection when the facts suggest it. In contrast the scammers at NASA only ever suggest a connection when it suits their politics and/or their pay cheque.

    You are more right than you suggest. The argument made here is that there has been absolutely no trend in hurricanes making landfall for well over 100 years. This is in defense of the counterargument that, on the basis of no major hurricanes making landfall in the last nine years, hurricanes have become LESS frequent. But the prediction was, on the basis of Katrina and high hurricane activity in the middle of last decade, that the trend was of hurricanes becoming MORE frequent as a consequence of “climate change”.
    The prediction of hurricanes becoming MORE frequent is the dumb prediction, from extrapolating from short-term trends. Similarly in 2007 there was a sudden decrease in the summer sea ice minimum. Extrapolating from short-term trends the dumb prediction was that in September 2013 the sea ice minimum in the Arctic would be essentially zero. Similarly, based on the extreme warm in 1998 and the acceleration in CO2 emissions in the next few few years, the dumb climate models would predict that global warming would not only increase, but the rate of warming would accelerate.
    The actual outcome in all three areas has been the opposite of the dumb predictions, yet AGW theory would say that these dumb predictions, if anything, would understate the understanding of climate derived from the models.
