Forecaster cuts 2007 hurricane outlook (http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSN2442542020070725?feedType=RSS&rpc=22&sp=true)

The 2007 hurricane season may be less severe than forecast due to cooler-than-expected water temperatures in the tropical Atlantic, private forecaster WSI Corp said on Tuesday.

The season will bring 14 named storms, of which six will become hurricanes and three will become major hurricanes, WSI said in its revised outlook.

There's also a wind sheer that is hindering the formation of tropical storms.

There's also global cooling at work.

But global cooling is the direct result of Gorebull Warming. Ask Dr. AlBore. He'll tell you.

Whatever's happening, it's Bush's/the Republicans'/the Religious Right's/conservatives' fault.

You forgot Big Oil, Enron, meat, gun owners, right-wing radio, Christians - they're ALL in on it!

It's the Fairness Doctrine. The hurricanes had to cut back because the tsunamis were demanding equal time.
