Global Warming and Hurricanes

Stop the presses! This just out! The latest study, based on computer models [snicker], shows that global warming probably suppresses hurricanes.

[A] new study raises the possibility that global warming might even make it harder for hurricanes to form.

The findings, by Gabriel A. Vecchi of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Brian J. Soden of the University of Miami, are reported in Wednesday's issue of Geophysical Research Letters.

Vecchi and Soden used 18 complex computer climate models to anticipate the effects of warming in the years 2001-2020 and 2018-2100.

But..., but, just a few years ago "scientists" were telling us that global warming caused hurricanes; that it caused Katrina; that we were going to have more and more deadly hurricanes. Now "scientists" say just the opposite?

Isn't it nice to know that global warming "science" is "settled?"
