Hurricane expert Chris Landsea, the science and operations director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, debunks the mythical connection between hurricanes and global warming. He says in today's Myrtle Beach Online:
Further study continues to show that hurricane activity occurs in cycles of 20 to 45 years, he said. Even though the seasons of 2004, when four hurricanes bashed Florida, and 2005, when Katrina devastated New Orleans and neighboring parts of the Gulf Coast, seemed shocking, they were no more intense than some storms in the early part of the 20th century and in the 1930s, Landsea said.
The 1926-1935 period was worse for hurricanes than the past 10 years and 1900-1905 was almost as bad, he said. So it is not true that there is a trend of more and stronger hurricanes.
'It's not a trend, it's a cycle: 20-45 years quiet, 20-45 years busy,' Landsea said. Scientists currently have no idea what causes the time period.
If you think I'm beating the "global warming is malarkey" drum too much, it's because the Marxist global warming disciples have beat their drum for so long that I'm tired of it.
It's time to let the hot air out of this liberal fantasy.
