Look in your mirror and give me your answer fats....
Just another position you don’t have an actual opinion on, you can only regurgitate the anti-liberal/ anti-democratic stance, because your bigger, smarter, stronger teammates tell you to?

Poir Bru. Surely there has to be some fake outrage you can find today to salvage your self esteem?
Does being pissed at the weather forecast on Saturday count? Only thing bothering me today as it is interfering with first golf tournament of the year.

From that link....
In short, the historical Atlantic hurricane frequency record does not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced long-term increase.
Ocean temperature directly impacts the intensity of a hurricane.

There was a joke tweet today about a warrant on Puxatawny Phil for his ****** groundhog day prediction. Stupid groundhog.

I wonder if you guys even know the information the figure is depicting?
Ive been told that the oceans are warming and that in the not too distant future the caused melting of the ice caps will swallow up coastlines and islands. I am also told that warming oceans cause more hurricanes by number and intensity yet the factual storm data does not back up that assumption. In a case like that science says look deeper.

The circulation of the Northern Hemisphere extratropical troposphere has changed over recent decades, with marked decreases in extratropical cyclone activity and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in summer and increases in the fraction of precipitation that is convective in all seasons. Decreasing EKE in summer is partly explained by a weakening meridional temperature gradient, but changes in vertical temperature gradients and increasing moisture also affect the mean available potential energy (MAPE), which is the energetic reservoir from which extratropical cyclones draw. Furthermore, the relation of changes in mean thermal structure and moisture to changes in convection associated with extratropical cyclones is poorly understood. Here we calculate trends in MAPE for the Northern extratropics in summer over the years 1979–2017, and we decompose MAPE into both convective and nonconvective components. Nonconvective MAPE decreased over this period, consistent with decreases in EKE and extratropical cyclone activity, but convective MAPE increased, implying an increase in the energy available to convection. Calculations with idealized atmospheres indicate that nonconvective and convective MAPE both increase with increasing mean surface temperature and decrease with decreasing meridional surface temperature gradient, but convective MAPE is relatively more sensitive to the increase in mean surface temperature. These results connect changes in the atmospheric mean state with changes in both large-scale and convective circulations, and they suggest that extratropical cyclones can weaken even as their associated convection becomes more energetic.

Did you read (and comprehend) this? Just checking...

Hurricanes, tropical storms, and cyclones have increased in frequency.
Can you give us the records going back 25% of time on earth? That's only 1 billion years ago. That time right there is a mere hiccup in time.

Yes. I wondered what that had anything to do with what you've posted so far.
Everything I’ve posted is relevant to my discussion with Dave and Shirley about climate change increasing the frequency and intensity off hurricanes and cyclones. No?
