2009-05-15 13:50:00 Now that the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Washington Capitals, we can all focus on the Eastern conference final between the Pens and the Carolina Hurricanes, who defeated the Boston Bruins in a tremendous game seven Thursday night. For those of you seeking storylines for the series, let me be of assistance of what you may (or may not) hear from sportscasters and writers over the next week.- Eric Staal and Jordan Staal are brothers. I feel like you should hear this from me since the announcers will fail to mention this. - Although Tuomo Ruutu is the brother of former Penguin Jarkko Ruutu, Pirate great Turner Ward is not related to Carolina's goalie Cam Ward.- Scott Walker, who scored the series winning goal against Boston, is not a Texas Ranger even though he may think he is after punching out the Bruins? Aaron Ward.- Sergei Samsonov and Simeon Varlamov are not the same person.- It's time for Bill Cowher to decide whether he supports the Penguins or the Canes. - Cam Ward an...

Study: Human activity not linked to Hurricanes… except in reverse
2008-05-20 16:57:00 What do you know… the study shows us the science does not link urricanes to man-made ‘global warming’. (Bolding is my own-Bit) WASHINGTON -(AP)- Global warming isn’t to blame for the recent jump in the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic, concludes a study by a prominent federal scientist whose position has shifted on the subject. Not only that, warmer temperatures will actually reduce the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic and those making landfall, research meteorologist Tom Knutson reported in a study released Sunday. In the past, Knutson has raised concerns about the effects of climate change on storms. His new paper has the potential to heat up a simmering debate among meteorologists about current and future effects of global warming in the Atlantic.   Yeah, if the story isn’t simply ignored. Why would they do that?

Global Warming Is Expected To Increase The Intensity Of Hurricanes & Tornad
2008-05-03 17:02:00 Global warming is expected to increase the intensity of forces of nature, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. It is determined not by individual weather events, such as heat waves or cold snaps or hurricanes, but by the global mean surface temperature. It is already increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic, increasing the risk of devastating impacts when a storm hits.Global warming is also leading to more dramatic swings in the weather in some areas. It is already affecting the world we know, endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is a huge risk, it is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface.Global warming is bad news for human life, including changes in agricultural yields, melting of glaciers and the extinction of certain species for ever.Global warming is an increase of average world temperatures as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect.
