Rush's Timeless Wisdom - Global Warming Hurricane Forecasters Were Wrong

RUSH: I am holding this latest story right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers: “Forecasters See Less Active ’06 Hurricane Season” (Gasping.) “The United States hurricane season will be slightly less intense this year than first predicted with nine hurricanes expected to form, government forecasters said on Tuesday, but they warned the most dangerous part of the season was still to come.” Really? We know this. The peak is in the middle of September. NOAA “said the 2006 season could produce between 12 to 15 named storms, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes and three or four of them being classified as ‘major’ hurricanes that could threaten the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts.”

Now, you know, I want to be very careful here because these people have a tough job. They have incredible expectations placed on them, and those expectations are not helped by all the media hype about hurricanes and disasters and so forth, but come on. Does anybody really expect that they can tell you in April or March what’s going to happen in a hurricane season? They think they do, but the best that we can do is issue a wild guess based on data that we have collected and analyzed in computers over a number of years in the past. Remember we were told a new cycle here? Global warming was a debated topic as to whether or not it affected hurricanes, but regardless, new cycle, intense hurricanes, lot more of them, brace yourselves!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now look at this, Look at this. I am holding
this latest story right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers.
Forecasters seem less active oh six hurricane season. The United
States hurricane season will be slightly less intense this year
then first predicted, with nine hurricanes expected to form. Government

(00:22):
forecasters said on Tuesday. They warned the most dangerous part
of the season was still yet to come. Really we
know this. The peak is in the middle of September.
Noah said that the two thousand and sixth season could
produce between twelve and fifteen name storms, the seven and
nine becoming hurricanes, three to four of them becoming classified
as a major hurricanes that could threatened lee US Atlantic

(00:46):
and Gulf Coast. Now, you know, I I want to
be very careful here because these people have a tough job,
and I don't because they have incredible expectations placed on them.
And it's that those expectations are not helped by all
the media about about hurricanes and disasters and so forth.
But come on, does anybody really expect that they can

(01:08):
tell you in April or March what's going to happen
in a hurricane season? And they think they do, but
they've got. The best that we can do is issue
a wild guess based on data that we have collected
and analyzed in computers over a number of years. In
the past. Well, we were expected what we remember, we

(01:28):
were told, and we're still a new cycle here. Global
warming was a debated topic as to whether or not
affected hurricanes, But regardless, new cycle intense hurricanes, a lot
more of them. Brace yourselves. Well, guess what the upper
level winds are sharing the tops off these babies when
they form out there. And you know what else, Atlantic

(01:50):
ocean surface temperatures are not nearly as warm as they
were last year. How can that be, Ladies and gentlemen.
A global warming should be consistently heating things up? Should
it not? Speaking of global warming? May I say global warming? Anybody?

(02:12):
I mean the same? It's all of this is just
patently ridiculous and nonsensical. And so we've had we've had
what we've had three name storms, no hurricanes yet in
the Atlantic theater. Uh. The ones that have formed haven't
amounted too much. The last one, this dude, Chris, Uh,

(02:37):
I mean forecast track had it going all the way
to either Mexico or Texas and so forth. In the
next two hours. Sorry, it's dissipated. It's gone. It's just
the low pressure. What's a bunch of thunderstorms over Cuba.
I mean even a forecast of just two or three
days ahead was not right with an existing storm out there.

(02:58):
Now the models, some of the models said I was
going to dissipate, but the hurricane said. They can't afford
to predict that's going to dissipate, as people's guarden will
be let down. My only point in all this is
here they are revising it down because now there's less
time for a whole bunch of hurricanes to happen. They
didn't expect the shear. You can't predict the winds. I mean,
anybody with thinks they can predict the winds a year out.

(03:20):
You can't predict cloud cover. Even you can't tell people
what the cloud cover to mar is going to be,
maybe as a percentage of the sky that's covered by clouds,
but even that is a wild gas. Cloud formation still
defies the most brilliant among us. We can just look
skyward and marvel at it. Uh So, any of these

(03:41):
attempts to suggest that there is global warming. Global warming,
by the way, it ought to be totally refuted, just
with what's happened here in the hurricane season so far.
Atlantic ocean surface temperatures alone should be an indication they're
not nearly as warm this year as they were last,
and yet global warm ring is intensifying and getting worse

(04:01):
every year. How do these two things call exist? One's
a forecast, one's a wild guest. The other one is reality,
And the reality, as always disproves the wild guest
