Are there politically motivated environmentalists who are disappointed by the slow hurricane season?

Question

It is apparent that global warming supporters virtually root for the kind of horrible weather conditions that can help them promote global warming "fixes," such as taking away SUVs and limiting the amout of heating and air conditioning you can do in your home.

They predicted a major rise in hurricanes after the bad season two years ago, but the opposite has happened.

Do you think it makes the global warm-ers look like alarmists? Do you think it exposes them as people with a political agenda, which would be stop technological advances and allow the government to exert more - total - control over the masses?

Referring someone to the NYT and the politically driven agencies they quote is hardly directing someone toward "real science."

The polar bear estimate has been derided by many opposing sources, the way all the new predictions are.

Also, if the caps are warming and species go extinct because of it, there's no "real science" showing that it's because we (Americans) use too much energy, or that cows are cutting too many f****.

Answer 1

Not jet, wait a couple of weeks and when nothing happens, the Gore sect will affirm that's because global warming

Answer 2

There is much serious scientific evidence to show that all is not well with the world. Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring over 40 years ago and many of her predictions have come to pass or have even been surpassed!

Scientists do not have a political agenda against SUV's nor do they stay awake at night plotting ways to control the masses. At most they may indulge in a little scheming to get more governmental funding for their research.

You might have a point in that the final word on global warming is not in and there is still a lot that we do not know. However,there are many indications that we would do well to re examine how we use our finite resources ,especially our fossil energy.

Lastly,I don't know anyone who 'supports global warming' anymore than there are supporters of the Bubonic Plague! Perhaps you are referring to people who think of it as the theory that best explains recent meteorological changes?

Answer 3

Not only are icebergs freezing and Polar Bears multipyling at record rates but the Earth indeed has to be flat because it was discovered that the scientists, that said otherwise, had a "liberal agenda."


("Two-thirds of the world’s polar bears will disappear by 2050, even under moderate projections for shrinking summer sea ice caused by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, government scientists reported on Friday.The finding is part of a yearlong review of the effects of climate and ice changes on polar bears to help determine whether they should be protected under the Endangered Species Act. Scientists estimate the current polar bear population at 22,000.

The report, which the United States Geological Survey released here, offers stark prospects for polar bears as the world grows warmer."-link is for those of you in the reality based world of science.)

Answer 4

No. It grow to be man made international warming yet now its man made climate replace and something that happens is mans fault. So if there is not any hurricanes its by way of fact you have a heated homestead, if there is hurricanes its by way of fact you stress a automobile. If there is riots its by way of fact you had 2 teenagers particularly of one and that i'm npt joking approximately that one, Al Gore has suggested riots are by way of fact of synthetic climate replace. And we might desire to pay him a tax to quit it. the sorrowful area is countless individuals are going alongside with it, carbon credit companies are a multi billion greenback enterprise. proper now its voluntary for many (California purely signed onto cap and commerce) yet they go with it to be a tax for all. purely examine the paper and you will see those carbon credit companies are sending mercenaries into Uganda and different African international places and killing infants and burning down properties so they might plant wood so liberals can experience stable approximately themselves. AGW isn't something yet a anti human faith.

Answer 5

Two category five hurricanes have made landfall this season.

This has never happened before (at least not since we've been keeping records).

Answer 6

the hurricane season has had a slow start?

this would come as a surprise to the people of honduras...

Answer 7

To answer your first question: "yes." But I am not one of them.
