Informative article about the difficulty of estimating global warming's effect on weather. This fair and factual report sheds a lot more light on the complexity of using computer model projections about global warming. More importantly, the author reveals the essence of the scientific process, which requires researchers to constantly reexamine and update their theories. This article would have benefitted from a few more independent perspectives to strengthen its sourcing about this important topic.
The ongoing debate over whether climate change is having an effect on hurricanes continues with prominent scientist Kerry Emmanuel of MIT now more undecided.
