SOMEBODY TELL AL GORE: "Global warming isn't to blame for the recent jump in 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. . . . The study, published online Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience, predicts that by the end of the century the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic will fall by 18 percent. The number of hurricanes making landfall in the United States and its neighbors -- anywhere west of Puerto Rico -- will drop by 30 percent because of wind factors."

Wanna bet that regardless of this study, any big hurricanes this summer will be treated in the media as having clearly been caused by global warming?

I'VE GOT AN ASUS 900 9" LAPTOP for review now. Details later, but this one has a 9" screen and Windows XP, for $549. First impressions: Look and feel is like the 7" Asus only wih a bigger screen (no surprise) and the keyboard isn't as good as the HP Mini-Note, but it seems considerably zippier, probably because it has XP instead of Vista. Maybe I should try upgrading the Mini-Note to XP . . . .
