Is this year's hurricane season part of the Terror War? Richard_Hoagland seems to think so. He writes at length on his weblog Captain's Blog about mysterious forces directing the weather using "...bizarre "tuning fork" patterns -- ...geometrically aimed at the precise centers of ...storms!" It's part of his theory about hyperdimensional hurricanes.
Sound too weird and science-fictiony? Perhaps. Mr. Hoagland does write science fiction books. He has lots of theories on extraterrestrial life. And he's a remarkable self-promoter of his own ideas.
On the other hand, his beliefs are routinely criticized as bad astronomy or duplicitous speechifying.
But still... it makes me wonder... ¶ 07:00

Sounds like a copout, a way of avoiding the global warming thesis to me. If it is aliens, then we're not responsible.
It may also function as ego gratification just as much UFOlogizing does: "Well, these things could not be caused by human beings because they just aren't smart enough. So they must be caused by aliens. Look how brilliant I am for catching on to that."
