...Weather Forecasting reaching 'Dizzying' Heights!

Modern 'Science' marches ahead~


ORLANDO --

"We're in a busy period of hurricane activity that will inflict
unimaginable damage, but global warming is not the cause
leading researchers told the nation's foremost forecasters
and other experts Friday."


"Insurance experts warned Friday that the nation soon will
absorb a hurricane that causes more than $100 billion in
damage, and Landsea has estimated that a Category 5
hurricane could produce at least $140 billion in damage
to South  Florida.
              (* but global warming is not the cause)


"They call the phenomenon ''rapid intensification,'' it's one
of their worst fears and it's a major focus of this week's
National Hurricane Conference"
              (* but global warming is not the cause)


"...no tropical cyclone in the historical record has ever
reached this intensity at a faster rate near landfall."
             (* but global warming is not the cause)


''It wasn't the Lone Ranger, either,'' said Bill Read, the
hurricane center's new director. ``Just for that segment
of the upper Texas coast, four of the nine Category 3
or 4 hurricanes that made landfall developed [rapidly]
in the Gulf of Mexico.''
              (* but global warming is not the cause)

"In fact, last year's intensity forecasts were worse than
the recent five-year average -- partly because an unusual
number of storms strengthened with unusual speed,
including Humberto"
             (* but global warming is not the cause)


''We're liable to see some very busy years in coming decades"
             (* but global warming is not the cause)


It would be nice to know, some day, why this happened.''
              (* but global warming is not the cause)

''We don't know when something like that will happen again,''
he said. ``It  could be a long time from now or it could be
this year.''
             (* but global warming is not the cause)


In other changes:

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the
hurricane center's  parent agency, plans to deemphasize its
controversial full-season forecasts, Read said.
            (* but global warming is not the cause)

"Those long-range forecasts, issued before the season begins
on June 1....have been  well off the mark in recent years."
             (* but global warming is not the cause)

"Some hurricane forecasters say that could undermine faith
in their real-team  predictions about actual storms."
             (* but global warming is not the cause)

''We're going to start to tamp down the way we roll this out,''
      ....he said.
             (* but global warming is not the cause)


''When you look at the numbers and the strong relation****p
to sea surface  temperatures and the reality of global
warming, you end up with a causal link that can't be denied,''
 Greg Holland, a scientist at the National Center for
Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., said last
year"

           (*but politics is the cause)


....singin'

         "Dizzy, I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
             Like a whirlpool it never ends"
