please move inland and find immediate shelter

 

The North Atlantic Ocean has spawned more hurricanes and tropical storms over the last decade than it has for 1,000 years, according to a new study.

I know what they mean, but that sentence is very poorly worded (IMO).

Thankfully one of our colleagues isn't buying this bull sh--.

 

But James Elsner, a climate scientist at Florida State University, said the "rather large levels of uncertainty" in the new study's results gave him pause.

 

"I don't see it as settling the debate on climate change and hurricane activity," said Elsner, who helped develop the statistical methods employed in the new study. "I think it does provide evidence that warmth is important."

 

At the same time, he explained, "the lack of a real tight physical theory between ocean warmth and frequency indicates this is not the smoking gun that would allow us to confidently project what might happen as oceans warm in the future."

The researchers also used a computer model to simulate 1,500 years of Atlantic storms

 

Computer models can hardly forecast accurately a week in advance, and they believe this is useful? Silly scientists.

it is what it is.

 

It was what it was, three or four years ago when the dire predictions then, fizzled out.
