Anyone seen this news today?  Here’s a few choice quotes from an AP story: 

Global warming isn’t to blame for the recent jump in hurricanes in the Atlantic, concludes a study by a prominent federal scientist whose position has shifted on the subject.

Not only that, warmer temperatures will actually reduce the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic and those making landfall, research meteorologist Tom Knutson reported in a study released Sunday.

Huh?  Say again?  Even Al Gore blamed Katrina on global warming, and we all know how smart he is right?  Here’s a story from the Boston Globe (there are hundreds of others, Google it) blaming global warming for Katrina.  The overall theme is that we (because we are causing global warming) are killing ourselves.  Here’s a snip of the story:

THE HURRICANE that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming.

When 124-mile-an-hour winds shut down nuclear plants in Scandinavia and cut power to hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the driver was global warming.

When a severe drought in the Midwest dropped water levels in the Missouri River to their lowest on record earlier this summer, the reason was global warming.

How could the global warming crowd have had this so wrong?  You want the simple answer?  Money.

You see, everyone of the scientists who are predicting catastrophe are paid by tax dollars.  They need a crisis to investigate so they can get more tax dollars for funding next year.  If the crisis goes away, so does their funding….

That’s the real debate about global warming.  I don’t know if the planet is getting warmer because of us or not, but I know a bunch of research scientists - along with many socialist politicians - are making hay while the sun shines.  With our money.
