Sounds to me that this interviee is on the fence and he’s from New Orleans, go figure.
To Summarize:
But you won’t find Mooney, author of “Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics and the Battle Over Global Warming,” joining the chorus blaming the devastation and deaths in New Orleans on climate change.
As Mooney reports in “Storm World,” many scientists believe a warmer world is likely to make hurricanes on average more intense, and some even argue that we’re already seeing those effects.
…In “Storm World,” Mooney delves into the heated scientific debate about hurricanes and climate change, where there are still many unanswered questions, such as: Will a warmer world mean more or fewer storms?… Since Hurricane Katrina, the question of what global warming will mean for hurricanes has become as high-stakes and high-profile as any in science, made all the more prominent by political scandal.
…There’s a new form of hurricane forecasting, using climate models, and they actually think this year will be just average.
