And what about building that summertime hurricane premium into the oil and gas market? You know that as Al Gore warned us about those darn inconvenient truths that because of global warming we are going to always see those massive hurricanes. In fact Al has proven to himself that the two main causes of hurricane Katrina were global warming and the Bush administration. So surely again this year with another year of greenhouse gases we should be getting ready for the mother of all hurricane seasons! Well not so fast. In a first time interview with Reuter’s news Colorado State University hurricane forecaster Bill Gray said he may reduce his next Atlantic season forecast because sea temperatures are cooling and a weak El Nino may appear by late summer. "Things are looking better and better for fewer storms," Gray told Reuters in an interview at the Florida Governor's Hurricane Conference in Fort Lauderdale. "Off the west African coast there's colder water. There's increasing high pressure in the Azores Islands that typically makes the trade winds stronger." How could there be colder water in this era of global warming?! Why are global temperatures falling instead of rising this decade? Does this mean that hot head Al Gore should chill out? Maybe he will have to give his Oscar back!

In the budget blueprint, this tax is projected to raise $645 billion, but White House economist Jason Furman has said it could raise two or three times that amount.
