The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

AGW hype alert, the killer hurricanes are coming!
Stock up on sandbags and plywood, hoard the canned goods, and keep that generator and inflatable life raft on standby. AccuWeather warns us that 2010 "has the chance to be an extreme [hurricane] season".
The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season will be more active than last year's and poses an "above-normal" threat to the U.S. Gulf and East coasts, AccuWeather Inc. forecasters said today.
AccuWeather foresees 16 to 18 named storms forming in the Atlantic Ocean, with five becoming hurricanes and two or three of them going ashore in the U.S. as major systems. In all, 15 storms probably will be in the western Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico, and seven may make landfall in the U.S., said Joe Bastardi, chief long-range and hurricane forecaster.
Didn't they say the same thing last year? Why yes, yes they did! Then it was "revised downward" when the hype didn't match reality. And the same thing happened the year before that, too. 2006? Wrong again!
Does anyone besides me detect a pattern here?
In fact, IPCC hurricane predictions have a perfect track record — they have been wrong 100% of the time. Hey, at least they're consistent.
So why is it that each and every year the predictions put forth by these pompous buffoons is awaited with baited breath and thrust into the forefront of the media spotlight? I'd say it's because people have a certain macabre fascination with disasters, and predicting killer hurricanes is a sure-fire way to pique interest and drive ratings (and clicks).
Plus, it's not like anyone holds these guys accountable for their erroneous forecasts. Despite their 100% failure rate they're still hawking the same worthless computer models and trying desperately to convince us that their doomsday scenarios for fifty years hence are frighteningly real.
Sorry dudes. When it comes to your credibility you can't "hide the decline"
anymore.
