Subject: RE: BS: Hurricane Rita, Mother Nature, & FEMA
The problem with trying to tie any weather event with global warming is that:

1.) These cycles have been occuring for thousands of years.

2.) We only have about 100 years or less of weather records to try and determine what those cycles are.


There's just not near enough information. Therefore, there will be a huge statistical margin of error to contend with if you're trying to tie one with the other.


In fact, I remember that back in the 70's, scientists were trying to make the case for "global cooling".

I think they're just trying to make the case for their own job security other than trying to figure other secrets that really matter, such as, why does bubble gum lose it's flavor or why don't motorcycles have doors?
