Anthony Watts reports on a new study that concludes there is no sign of the effects of anthropogenic global warming in the number or intensity of hurricanes. The report, by the World Meteorological Association, reached this conclusion:
. . . we cannot at this time conclusively identify anthropogenic signals in past tropical cyclone data.
That's a big deal, because for years the media has repeated the mantra that global warming will inevitably lead to more and stronger hurricanes. That hasn't occurred. For a fuller discussion, I urge readers to follow the link to Watts' story, and to look at his website generally. It's probably the most visited of the skeptic sites,and very well done. There are good comments as well, and occasionally some helpful give-and-take between believers in, and skeptics of, AGW. Just be careful not to use the word "robust" if you decide to participate.
