"How many "scientists" thought that hurricanes would get progressively worse after Katrina?" There have been signs of that. Not necessarily in the Atlantic, but the Pacific. Even in the Atlantic, once a depression forms it is more likely to become a tropical storm and a tropical storm is more likely to become a hurricane than 20 years ago.

How many "scientists" thought that hurricanes would get progressively worse after Katrina? And that has been proved incorrect? Where? How? How many "scientists," who were convinced that accelerated CO2 would lead to "global heating" or "global cooking" are now changing their story to that of "accelerated climate change"? I am not sure what credible scientists are using such language as "cooking"...you made that up didn't you? Bottom line is that you can't simply step out of your house in a heat wave and claim, "Must be global warming, the scientists said so!" Lots of people do just that, you know. My original post was a satire on that kind of mentality. Well c'mon now...your dismissal of it is nothing more than the same behavior in reverse. Al
