No Rational Doubt

But then, the people who doubt the human causes of global warming are emotional, rather than rational:
BROOKLIN, Canada, Sep 11 (IPS) - There is little doubt now that climate change is making hurricanes and cyclones much more powerful and more frequent, top scientists announced Monday.
Sea surface temperatures are rising due to global warming and more than a dozen studies since Hurricane Katrina hit the United States last August show this has resulted in the dramatic increase in the strength of hurricanes in recent years.
“There is no doubt at all that hurricane intensity has increased,” said Kerry Emanuel, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
[...] These are the latest computer models and researchers have a high level of confidence in their results, says Wigley. “There is less than a one percent chance that the changes in Sea Surface Temperatures could be the result of non-human factors,” he said.
