The 3 graphs above show what are are called facts
----------------------------------------Those banging the gong of Man Made Global Warming Those adding "Green" costs to our Electricity and Gas Bills Those mandating fully paid for Power Stations be turned off Those cutting down rain forest to plant Palm for Biofuels Those farming land for fuel instead of for food Those justifying Nuclear Power for lack of Carbon Dioxide emissions. Those frightening our Children with stories that the Planet is doomed Those who make the lives of the Elderly a misery unto death. Really should check them out sometime. Preferably soon  |

----------------------------------------How, by any measure, is this a good deal for my Country? It will produce electricity There are numerous other alternatives None of which require the risk, the cost, or the legacy of this decision. It's not a big day for Britain, it's a bad day, a very very bad day |

----------------------------------------It would be funny if we hadn't known this whole mess would unravel at some point Only 3 MP's voted against the 2008 Climate Change Act So they are almost all to blame |

Our much hyped Storm which, if you listened to the BBC was going to be an apocalypse.
----------------------------------------Dropped a lot of rain But the peak gust I can find on the NOAA weather stations 60mph That's the peak gust, a brief moment. Add this one to the ever growing list of round the clock news covered super storms That turned out to be anything but. "Atlantic Storm St Jude" I was a bit blustery but no 1987 Dave |

I'm sure NOAA sincerely tries to have accurate long-range forecasts, but they are human and know they will get hammered if they ever under-predict a season.
At the link you cite (thanks!) NOAA's forecast explanation begins "âWith the devastation of Sandy fresh in our minds, ..." Not a promising indicator of impartial judgement. NOAA also knows that an alarmist prediction will garner publicity and that they will never be called out for it by the mainstream media. National Public Radio has yet to mentioned the quiet season on air. They just run stories about last year's "superstorm" Sandy every couple of days. That will continue until we eventually get another hurricane and then the name will change (but not, of course, the narrative). |
