Just to recapitulate, the new computer model of hurricane behavior
indicates that over time, global climate change should produce
stronger hurricanes.  However, it's not clear whether there are likely
to be any more of them.  

A report on the model's finding is available
in The Journal of Climate online at 

www.gfdl.noaa.gov/reference/bibliography/2004/tk0401.pdf.

The two authors of the report are Robert Tuleya, who recently
retired from the Commerce Department's Geophysical Fluid
Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton University, and Dr. Thomas R. Knutson,
a Princeton professor.  

In the article that "Economic Democracy" reprinted, the Tuleya/Knutson
findings receive somewhat favorable comments from Dr. Kerry
Emmanuel of MIT and Dr. James B. Elsner, a scientist studying
hurricane behavior at Florida State University.

I'll repeat a question raised before:  how credible are
Tuleya, Knutson, Emmanuel and Elsner - compared, say, to
the greenhouse warming skeptics?  

And how credible are MIT, Princeton University and the
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton University?  

When these individuals and institutions think they've found
a connection between global climate change and hurricane
intensity, how seriously should their findings be taken by the
public?
