We haven't had a North Sea storm wipe out The Netherlands in a half a century....must be something we're screwing up?

Exactly. It is not the storms but our own pathetic lack of preparation on the levee system which led to so many deaths in LA. (the Miss. deaths were mostly unavoidable). The Dutch spent billions decades ago so they could never be hurt again.

Also, this so-called scientist has nothing to say on the sharp DECREASE in hurricanes over the past 70 years...

...or did I miss his blistering criticism of FDR for global warming in 1943?

Don't try to bring facts into this argument!!!

Dang, that decade went by so quickly... it seemed like only 40% as previous decades...I must be getting old!

Interesting graphic. If global warming is due to carbon being released into the atmosphere, then why didn't the temps spike upwards after WW2?

Think of all the burning cities, machinery, explosions and the terrible waste of untold billions of barrels of oil in the oceans due to torpedoed ships, etc. The sky should have set itself on fire by the fifties....

Your graph would be more relevant if it included all atlantic hurricanes (or even all tropical cyclones) instead of the ones that made a landfall (in the US?).

Your chart only proves that Karl Rove DOES have a time machine.
