'Climategate' Investigation Clears UK Scientists Of Most Serious Claims


I have to add a comment here:
======================
Justtellthetruth: "Again, storms wreck things and kill people and I am glad that Warming, with appears to be happening, will not make them worse."

YET ANOTHER LIE on your part, Justtellthetruth. According to Landsea global warming, while likely making storms less frequent, will also likely make them more severe, resulting in "substantial increases in the frequency of the most intense cyclones":

======================

Not that there would be anything wrong with changing his mind if presented with new evidence that contradicted his previous hypotheses. The important thing here is not whether Landsea's position has changed, it is whether Landsea currently believes that there is **no** connection between tropical storms and global warming (not what Landsea has published) or whether Landsea believes the proven fact that global warming does correlate to decreased frequency of tropical storms generally, but to increase in number of very severe storms **and** and increase in the severity of those.

Those are the facts that the best scientists in the field have discovered. My opinion is that this finding includes no "good news" portion whatsoever, because the weak storms which are decreasing in frequency are mainly an inconvenience, and only a danger to anybody stupid enough to try to go sailing, or continue fishing, etc. during a "small" hurricane. It's the big ones that are happening more, and worse.
