Hurricane haiku Yesterday marked the official end of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. Talk about a dud. Not a single major hurricane made landfall, despite dire predictions to the contrary. "If we can't depend on hurricane forecasts made one to six months ahead of time, how can we expect to depend on predictions about the behavior of hurricanes decades from now," asks David Ridenour, vice president of the National Center for Public Policy Research. "Those who claim that rising global temperatures would definitely lead to more intense hurricanes appear to be relying upon political science, not climate science." Meanwhile, global-warming skeptic Christopher C. Horner, a fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, sends Inside the Beltway this Japanese haiku he penned: Hurricane season Mercifully has ended Why can't I name one? By the way, we see where Mr. Horner's much-anticipated book, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism," is now available on Amazon.com, although it's not expected until Feb. 25 — the same day former Vice President Al Gore stands to win best documentary Oscar for his horror flick, "An Inconvenient Truth."
