Attention to anyone on Texas Gulf Coast

I live in Houston and have made hotel reservations in Arlington (Dallas area), in case it looks like a Cat. 3+/close hit to Houston. I must say, after the recent debacle in New Orleans, most folks I know here take this one very seriously.

Good luck guys. Any believers in global warning, yet?

Global warming Swampwalker? Check out the article in the Financial Times and the Investors Business Daily recently that state global warming is not causing these hurricanes. In fact, Stanley Goldenberg, a meteorologist at National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration said: "I speak for many hurrican climate researchers in saying such claims of global warming causing this are nonsense. Katrina is part of a well-documented, multi-decadal scale fluctuation in hurrican activity." This cycle was described in a heavily cited article printed in Science magazine in 2001. In that article is a table clearly showing the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's had many more category three, four, and five hurricanes than we have seen in recent decades. Was that global warming too? Remember, in 1975 the consensus in the environmental universe predicted we were moving into another ice age! May I suggest you read the "Skeptical Environmentalist" by Borg Lomborg? Lomborg's book debunks many theories flying around by the anti growth, anti progress, environmental media.

Global warming is BS. Given that the earth is 4.5 billion years old (an assumption by the majority of scientists) it would take far far more than 100 years of record keeping to state with any certainty that global warming is in fact what the tree huggers claim it is. What we really need is fewer New York Times subscribers.

The temperature of Earth's atmosphere has always fluctuated throughout history and it will continue to do so after we are long gone. Don't get sucked into the hype of global warming!
