Just read up on el nino/la nina & hurricanes. Seems there are less hurricanes during el nino, which we are now in, and explected to be in up to Spring 2010. So maybe we should wait for a la nina (which tends to have more hurricanes) to see if there are any big ones. I sincerely hope not since I live in a hurricane zone.
Anyway re GW, you might want to see watch?v=codXzZirVSw

First you have to learn how to average. It's like X1 + X2 + .... + Xn divided by n.
No one is going to understand the concept of climate, much less global warming, if they can at least learn how to average. And then learning a bit about el ninos & la ninas will help. Better to read Hansen's STORMS OF MY GRANDCHILDREN, but it would be helpful to have a bit of basic science knowledge to fully understand it.
Nobody is so believing as those willing to believe. They are like children in their wondering innocence who wait upon every word from their parent. Lynn, the Earth is over 4 billion years old, mankind has inhabited the hurricane region for only about 500 years. That leaves something like 4 billion years of climate about which we know absolutely nothing. That's like my summing up the value of your entire life by the 61 words you posted above.
You said that nobody know the history of the climate. This is absolutely false. Scientist can do core samples into permafrost and extract actual air bubbles from thousands of years ago to be analyzed for chemical make up. They can also analyze the minerals in core samples from other locations such as the ocean floor, giving indication of past temperatures, and atmospheric chemistry.
Ship, you aren't reading for accuracy. I wasn't talking about hurricanes in the arctic, so your deflection to ice cores was a non-germane straw man argument. Maybe if you can direct me to the core samples analysis that describes the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in that region in July 8 million years ago, you might have a point.
But your retreat to ice core samples was not a useful response.
Frozen Florida? Yeah that is sure a sign of Global warming! Oh wait....
