GAIA

Gaia 10 – scientists 0


Blowing in the wind

On the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (2005) and her devastating flooding impact on New Orleans and the adjoining region – and as this year’s hurricane cycle starts again, with hurricane Earl approaching landfall and hurricane Fiona building in the Caribbean and Danielle weakening in the mid-Atlantic, it may be worthwhile to recall that in the wake of Katrina and that year’s increased number of North American hurricanes, scientists and environmentalists predicted that – due to Global warming – we would be seeing an ever growing number of hurricanes and ones of more deadly force that in previous years and decades.

Global Warming said so.


But that has not really been the case. No U.S. super flooding has occurred since 2005, and no category 5 killers anywhere in North America.

Katrina hit New Orleans as a category 3, while far worse category 5 (super deadly) hurricanes were Andrew in 1992, Camille in 1969 and the 1935 Labour Day hurricane (never given a name).

So just look at the numbers, and do the math.

There is a cyclical ebb and flow to Gaia; not the catastrophic escalation Global Warming advocates have propagandized.
