Hurricane Expert Reconsiders Global Warming Link
Prominent MIT hurricane scientist Kerry Emanuel has publicly reversed his view
regarding global warming's alleged impact on hurricanes.
The [computer] models are telling us something quite different from what
nature seems to be telling us," said Emanuel, whose views on hurricanes and
global warming have been prominently cited by Al Gore and other promoters of
climate change fear.
He told the New York Times. "There are various interpretations possible: The
big increase in hurricane power over the past 30 years or so may not have much
to do with global warming, or the models are simply not faithfully reproducing
what nature is doing. Hard to know which to believe yet.
In 2005, a few weeks before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Emmanuel
asserted in a paper that he had found statistical evidence linking rising
hurricane energy and global warming.
His conversion is a very important new development in the climate debate, said
Marc Morano, a top aide to climate change skeptic Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.
"First, 2007 turned out to be the tipping point for global warming fears, and
2008 appears to be the year of vindication for skeptics as many prominent
scientists reverse their climate views, more and more skeptical scientists
speak out, and new data debunks man-made climate fears.
Now another major scientist reconsiders his views on a significant aspect of
man-made climate fears.
