OK, so this is now the third set of so called experts to make a prediction about the up-coming (well, actually, already underway) Atlantic hurricane season. If we get enough players, someone will have to be right.
Maybe the Brits and Las Vegas odds makers can begin giving odds on who will be the closest and we can all start betting on it. That’s essentially what our carriers have done to us, although they claim it’s really the big, bad reinsurers. Either way, someone has been listening to the Chicken Little Sky-Is-Falling prgnosticators who have been wrong about the number and severity of severe Atlanic storms almost every single year they make their headline grabbing predictions.
Heck, I’ll bet that dice would be as accurate as these guys.
I find this article a little humorous. The month of June is almost over, and the British predict three less storms from July to November. The American’s predicted 13 in May from June until November. Due to the one month discrepency, that more than accounts for the three storm difference.
Is this really newsworthy?
My brain cells could have to better spent elsewhere
Ummm…ad. Not trying to take sides here, but the cooling of the Atlantic is exactly what is predicted by the model Al Gore demonstrates in his documentary. You may want to familiarize yourself with a subject matter before you criticize.
Don’t forget there have ALREADY been two named storms in the 2007 Atlantic season: Andrea in mid-May and Barry on 6/1, the OFFICIAL opening day of the 2007 hurricane season! I, for one, wasn’t pleasantly surprised!
Apparently America hasn’t cornered the market on pork barrel spending. When was the last time the Brits had to be concerned about a hurricane and why are they bothering to re-invent an already flawed, historical model that America has spent billions on, and has yet to be anymore accurate than the farmers alamanac? Fact is, we shouldn’t be wasting our time trying to guess how many storms “we think” will occur. They’re coming whenever mother nature sends them. We can’t stop or alter them, and we already have plenty of advance warning. Aside from building bunker, storms are a fact of life. The Brits should work on perfecting their banger sausages and warm beer.

A cooling in the Atlantic? Cannot be. Did they check with Al Gore, the climatologist, before they reached this conclusion?
Popycock!
