FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Scientists and researchers today are expected to debate whether global warming could be making hurricanes stronger.

It's all part of the Governor's Hurricane Conference, which has been going on this week in Fort Lauderdale.

Earlier this week, Governor Charlie Crist and Craig Fugate, the state's chief of emergency management, warned Floridians to be prepared for the upcoming hurricane season. They emphasized the need to stock up on supplies and be prepared, despite two previous slow storm seasons.

Trendseeker has failed in his/her mission. The trend is clear: the globe is warming, climate is changing, and these changes parallel the increase in man-made greenhouse gases.

I whole heartedly believe that "global warming" is nothing but political and media propaganda to scare and control people. No global warming exists today or the ice caps would not have doubled in size in 2007 and how can it be determinned since records have only been around a short time as compared to the life of the earth...Sadly, this post will most likely be rejected by the media.
