...face. This, of course, is just Skilling's setup to tell a Dallas audience of SMU Cox School of Business types that the giant is still kicking, and will try anything - even trading "weather options" - to keep itself financially robust. Seems Skilling's brother in Chicago is a meteorologist who's gotten him into "financial settlement contracts," which are bought by companies - like malls or snowmobile makers, for instance - whose business is dependent on the weather. "We're even looking at the rainfall market," says Skilling...
...meteorologist might call Clinton's first month out of office a perfect storm: a freak convergence of fast-moving, late-season weather patterns, a lethal collision of the profound and the trivial. The thunderhead of accusations confirms every fair and unfair thing his enemies have ever said about him--and puts him once again in the sights of a federal prosecutor, this time U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White of New York. Not only are there calls to haul him before Congress, but also they are coming from fellow Democrats who defended him through every past scandal. This time...
Lindzen still maintains the argument that there is little solid evidence that climate change would have harmful effects. This statement, however, can be easily discredited simply because it falls outside his area of expertise. As a meteorologist, Lindzen could back his previous argument that global warming did not exist by his own well-documented climate model. Determining the effects of global warming, however, falls in the realm of ecologists who almost all agree that climate change at this unprecedented rate in recent history will have negative effects on our flora and fauna. As a statement signed by 2,500 economists...
...more agreement when it comes to the effects of global warming on weather trends. Few would debate that because hurricanes gather their strength from the warm surface waters of the central Atlantic, the rise in temperatures has probably added to the magnitude of recent storms, says Jim Lushine, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Miami. "It's safe to assume that the higher water temperatures in the Atlantic are contributing to the intensity of this year's storms," he says. The number of storms is not likely to be affected by the temperature changes, says Lushine, but the strength...
