tacoman25 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 http://www.coaps.fsu...~maue/tropical/ From the main forum...have to wonder how this fits into AGW expectations? During the past 6-years since Hurricane Katrina, global tropical cyclone frequency and energy have decreased dramatically, and are currently at near-historical record lows. According to a new peer-reviewed research paper accepted to be published, only 69 tropical storms were observed globally during 2010, the fewest in almost 40-years of reliable records. Furthermore, when each storm's intensity and duration were taken into account, the total global tropical cyclone accumulated energy (ACE) was found to have fallen by half to the lowest level since 1977.

Clifford Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You can bet, however, that the next Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in Florida will be caused by GLOBAL WARMING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a direct relationship these days between the magnitude of a weather disaster (headlines) and the likelihood it will be linked in some way to global warming. Meanwhile, to anyone who looks at the actual trends, it's clear that natural climate cycles like the PDO, AMO, and NAO are much bigger factors.
