Hurricanes: Not Just Hot Air

“The processes that govern the formation, intensity, and track of Atlantic hurricanes are still poorly understood,” said Donnelly, an associate scientist in the WHOI Department of Geology and Geophysics. “Based on this work, we now think that there may be some sort of basin-wide ‘on-off switch’ for intense hurricanes.”

Next time some internet know-nothing tells you man made global warming (MDI) caused Katrina and we're all going to die this year because of more man made high intenstiy hurricanes (Haven't we all met too many of those?), ask them if they're scientifically literate enough to read this new report from Woods Hole.
