Last year saw nine storms form five of them hurricanes which did relatively litle damage after a disastrous 2005 season.You remember last hurricane season, right? The one that was supposed to destroy civilization? Relatively "litle" damage indeed; most didn't even make landfall (And for the sake of the English language, learn how to spell check and punctuate a sentence!). But never let facts stand in the way of making splashy headlines.
It was a record-breaking season with 28 storms forming, 15 of them hurricanes, including Stan which killed some 2,000 people in Guatemala and Katrina which hit the US Gulf coast flooding most of New Orleans and killing about 1,500 people.
In related news, global warming hits Mars. Hey Al! Tell us how it's all because the evil corporations keep building "monster" SUV's (snicker, giggle). While you're at it, can you explain how this albedo thing works? Specifically why none of your precious climate models (which given conditions from 100 years ago cannot "predict", within an order of magnitude, current climate conditions) take water vapor into account? It seems kind of important. And complicated. Warmer weather would seem to create more water vapor. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas (which, according to our Supreme Court can be regulated; expect the EPA to enact regulations any day now telling the oceans to stop all that evaporating) that also, in the form of clouds, increases earth's albedo. Little ol' stoopid me would think that all this actin' and interactin' stuff might be what is throwing one or two monkey wrenches into your models. Maybe you and your Really Smart Friends need to think a bit more about what you include and exclude from your models before you start using their predictions as an excuse to destroy Western Civilization.
Remember folks; send your kids to college so they can grow up big and strong and smart like Uncle Al and his Really Smart Friends. Pffft.
