The AP is reporting that the NOAA blocked a report on the link between Global Warming theory and its presumed effects on the hurricane season. While the NOAA just says the 2 page report wasn't ready for distribution in press kits, the MSM and a democrat Senator are trying to make political hay out of this. However, the lede of the story is wrong:
A government agency blocked release of a report that suggests global warming is contributing to the frequency and strength of hurricanes, the journal Nature reported Tuesday.[Emph. added]
All warming theories recently published last year and this year show a link between ocean temperatures and hurricane intensity, and that a warming trend in ocean temperatures would increase the proportion of stronger hurricanes in a given hurricane season. No link has been established between warming and an increase in the total number of hurricanes. Fact checkers seem to be in short supply over at the AP these days.
