Big increase in hurricanes is not caused by global heating, say scientists

Hurricanes in the Atlantic are increasing because of natural weather patterns rather than global warming, a study has concluded.

Growing numbers of hurricanes battering the United States and the Caribbean have made their presence felt in the past decade and are forecast to worsen. Global warming has been cited as a possible cause but researchers looking at sediment and coral deposits have now identified natural variations in their frequency.

Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005, was “unexceptional” when historic patterns of such stormy weather are analysed, they suggested.

Global warming may even have been responsible for unusually low levels of hurricanes in the 25 years before 1995 when the number began rising, according to the scientists, led by the Geological Survey of Sweden.:scratch

Interesting that we're not hearing this reported on any news station or Discovery channel. And we won't.

It goes against the current secular wisdom they will have to come up with someway to explain it away.:nod

The last thing people want someone to think is they are stupid because they thought it was global warming. Seems like people have to have everything they say perfect as possible.

Last I heard we didn't get by one hurricane last year.

Last I heard we didn't get by one hurricane last year.

And all the "experts" were claiming we'd have record devastating hurricanes last year. They're saying it about this year's hurricane season too. The law of averages will eventually prove right, I guess. :mazy
