re: They did that last year as well. And they were wrong. Kind of funny but I haven't seen any big noise in the media for that, for them being all wrong.

No "big noise", but the media continually says they were wrong (and explains why). What do you expect, front page headlines across the country "Hurricane Forecasters Wrong in 2006!!!!".

re: Now you guess, if by accident they happen to be right this time, what kind of exposure do you expect the media to give that????

Probably less. By the way, most of the hurricane forecast guys are not claiming the increased hurricane activity is caused by GW, especially not Dr. Gray. They are saying it's part of a cycle.

SST's are high, La Nina which decreases shear is expected, one wild card is the Sahara winds and their influence. Looks like a bad season, maybe not.

Don't you think long term forecasting is still a game of craps? I think the media posts these articles like they check out whether Paxautaney Phil sees his shadow on Ground Hog's day. Its filler.
