Hello!

[sprunch]

I am 1/7th of a group presentation in my course "Economics of the Environment" taught by the wonderful and esteemed Gary Yohe. Our group project is on science that refutes the idea that hurricane katrina was caused by climate change (something that roughly only 5% of scientists believe). Wish us luck.

Welcome to Hypography Kara!

 

We've got several threads going on this topic and you'll find "advocates" from all "sides."

 

Have fun!

Hi there, Kara!

 

What's the deal with that topic? Are you taught the finer techniques of debate by defending the losing side, or are you enrolled in a particularly conservative university?

 

But, like Her Royal Buffness said, you'll find members of both sides of the debate right here at Hypo. So, pull up a chair and make yourself at home!

 

Welcome! :)

Well, my professor is one of the economists on the IPCC and he is writing the conclusion to the Stern Review. We are definitely defending the losing side, basically, and I'm finding it much more difficult to even find legitimate scientific findings that climate change will cause stronger and more frequent hurricanes and tropical storms. The other presentations covered by students in the class are Scientific findings regarding climate change and hurricanes BEFORE Katrina, scientific findings regarding climate change and hurricanes after, and media portrayal of the global warming/climate change debate.

Thanks for the welcome, hopefully this will be a positive learning experience.
