“We will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act”
In 2004 we moved to Florida and were greeted with 5 hurricanes.. the next year was the same. This thing they called “Global Warming” was going to make this a normal event each year… and our insurance went from $2,000 to $6,500. Our taxes and our homeowner’s fee’s doubled so that we’d have the funds to cover all these possible hurricanes. Now who do we blame for this:
Global and Northern Hemisphere Tropical Cyclone Activity [still] lowest in 30-years
Tropical cyclone (TC) activity worldwide has completely and utterly collapsed during the past 2 to 3 years with TC energy levels sinking to levels not seen since the late 1970s. This should not be a surprise to scientists since the natural variability in climate dominates any detectable or perceived global warming impact when it comes to measuring yearly integrated tropical cyclone activity. With the continuation (persistence) of colder Pacific tropical sea-surface temperatures associated with the effects of La Nina, the upcoming 2009 Atlantic hurricane season should be above average, as we saw in 2008. Nevertheless, since the Atlantic only makes up 10-15% of overall global TC activity each year (climatological average during the past 30 years), continued Northern Hemispheric and global TC inactivity as a whole likely will continue.
The activity has dropped to the same level the market has – the 1970′s. (You’ll notice it peaked in ’92)
