In 2005, we had more hurricanes than normal. Many people blamed global warming for heating up the ocean, creating more storms, and more powerful storms.

Now come this report from Reuters predicting that 2007 will have fewer hurricanes than normal. The reason? Global warming!

"Global warming could increase a climate phenomenon known as wind shear that inhibits Atlantic hurricanes....

Wind shear, a difference in wind speed or direction at different altitudes, tends to tear apart tropical cyclones, preventing nascent ones from growing and already-formed hurricanes from becoming the monster storms that cause the most damage."

A large number of hurricanes? Must be global warming.
A small number of hurricanes? Must be global warming.

Ya' can't lose! ;-)
