Cyclic Hurricane Season is More Responsible for Katrina Than Global Warming Is

Pundits for global warming are at it again, distorting facts and using as-yet unproven science to back up their claims.

They are now claiming that Hurricane Katrina was caused exclusively by global warming, despite the fact that there's nearly two hundred years of hurricane tracking data that shows there's an "off-again/on-again" cycle to hurricane seasons (to which global warming MAY be having an effect.)

These cycles come and go every three or so decades according to the validated research. It should be noted that the increase in Atlantic hurricanes has led to a decrease in Pacific hurricanes overall. That was also in-line with what has happened in the past.

The "on" cycle (which we have been in since 1995 according to researchers) usually lasts ten to fifteen years.

Here's the record of hurricanes since the 1800s.

Instead of using the hurricane to exploit their political ends, perhaps they should pitch in and help with the recovery efforts. It's coming across as some people who are helping, and some who are exploiting the disaster for their own ends to score brownie points on the Administration.

Everyone needs to put aside these other issues; get off the fence and HELP any way that they can. Leave the politics for another time. This definitely ISN'T it.
