Das Schweigen der Wissenschaftsjournalisten spricht Bände
NOAA issued a press release yesterday on a major new peer-reviewed paper published in the Journal of Climate: A NOAA-led team of scientists has found that the apparent increase in the number of tropical storms and hurricanes since the late 19th and early 20th centuries is likely attributable to improvements in observational tools and analysis techniques that better detect short-lived storms...“The study provides strong evidence that there has been no systematic change in the number of north Atlantic tropical cyclones during the 20th century.” There have been (as of this writing) exactly zero news stories on the paper. Whatever the reasons, there is clearly a huge bias against reporting on scientific studies that do not support a particular perspective on climate change as being catastrophic or worse than we thought.
