Another article I just came across: Now IPCC hurricane data is questioned<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/15/hatton_on_hurricanes/>.
The gist: basically the assumption that tropical storms have increased in number and magnitude is not true. The author, who claims to be on neither side, used the data from the IPCC and has made his data and analysis available for critique (a novel concept that would have saved a lot of trouble for those at these scandalized institutions). One of the main authors of the IPCC's hurricane position is Kevin Trenberth, who is a prominent figure in the climate-gate email scandal. As a side note: In 2005, the National Hurricane Center's chief scientist Chris Landsea resigned his post in protest at the treatment of the subject by Trenberth. "I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound. As the IPCC leadership has seen no wrong in Dr. Trenberths actions and have retained him as a Lead Author for the AR4, I have decided to no longer participate in the IPCC AR4." When it rains, it pours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
