The 2013 hurricane season just ended as one of the five quietest years since 1960. But don’t expect anyone who pointed to last year’s hurricanes as “proof” of the need to act against global warming to apologize; the warmists don’t work that way.
Warmist claims of a severe increase in hurricane activity go back to 2005 and Hurricane Katrina. The cover of Al Gore’s 2009 book, “Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis,” even features a satellite image of the globe with four major hurricanes superimposed.
Yet the evidence to the contrary was there all along. Back in 2005 I and others reviewed the entire hurricane record, which goes back over a century, and found no increase of any kind. Yes, we sometimes get bad storms — but no more frequently now than in the past. The advocates simply ignored that evidence — then repeated their false claims after Hurricane Sandy last year.

Don't show this to Wayne Gilchrest, it might cause him to abandon some of his other principles, that is, if he has any remaining.
Scientists have long said that the threat of increased hurricanes (frequency and severity) is expected to happen in the FUTURE, not now. The costs of current storms simply shows us the likely impact of this increased activity. The problem with this entire issue is that dummies on both sides want to cherry pick and twist scientific findings for their own political agenda.
Yeah,,,and Antarctica just set a new COLD record of 138 point something BELOW zero...breaking a sweat with that global warming...
Then will anyone argue global COOLING?
We will have to hear from these idiots for the next 20+ years because they have nothing better to do. Nevermind the fact they have absolutely no background or proof of what they say, it's just "information" they claim and spew.
So, just sit back and laugh, and enjoy the show!
