When it comes to devotion to specific causes, one has to wonder if those in government ever talk to each other. Today’s example concerns the continuing misguided ideology regarding the fiction of “global warming.”
 
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association(NOAA) , which happens to be a part of the of the United States Department of Commerce: “The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ends on Saturday, Nov. 30, had the fewest number of hurricanes since 1982, thanks in large part to persistent, unfavorable atmospheric conditions over the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and tropical Atlantic Ocean. This year is expected to rank as the sixth-least-active Atlantic hurricane season since 1950, in terms of the collective strength and duration of named storms and hurricanes.”
 
Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, says, “A combination of conditions acted to offset several climate patterns that historically have produced active hurricane seasons.”
 
And here’s the most interesting part related by Dr. Bell: “This unexpectedly low activity is linked to an unpredictable atmospheric pattern that prevented the growth of storms by producing exceptionally dry, sinking air and strong vertical wind shear in much of the main hurricane formation region, which spans the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Also detrimental to some tropical cyclones this year were several strong outbreaks of dry and stable air that originated over Africa.”
 
Now, without having to be a meteorologist, climatologist , or even a cue-card reading TV weatherperson, it seems quite simple to grasp the key words in Dr. Bell’s  summary: “unexpectedly” and “unpredictable,” which is the way climate’s been since the beginning of time.
 
However, I guess when lobbyists and zealot environmentalists buy politicians, it really doesn’t matter what the truth is. Because those types always react the same way Dean Martin did many years ago when he said: “Don't hit me with logic I don't want to chit chat,” which for them still applies today.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
