Where ARE they?

Hey folks,

Not much time left, but I just caught this. Reuters-Study blames climate change for hurricane rise By Jim Loney

The number of Atlantic hurricanes in an average season has doubled in the last century due in part to warmer seas and changing wind patterns caused by global warming, according to a study released on Sunday.

Hurricane researchers have debated for years whether climate change caused by greenhouse gases from cars, factories and other human activity is resulting in more, and more intense, tropical storms and hurricanes.

The new study, published online in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, said the increased numbers of tropical storms and hurricanes in the last 100 years is closely related to a 1.3-degree Fahrenheit rise in sea surface temperatures.

{Sigh} Where ARE they?

The influential U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in a report this year warning that humans contribute to global warming, said it was "more likely than not" that people also contribute to a trend of increasingly intense hurricanes.

Since when did "more likely than not" become scientifically proven FACT? Anyway, like I said, I’m out of time right now, maybe more on this later. This is unbelievable. There are NO storms out there yet. It seems that since there is none, they want to make sure you are still afraid that YOU are going to wipe out parts of this country, because YOU increased the strength of Hurricanes. Uh, that are not there.

Did they not just revise DOWNWARDS the number of storms this year?
