Just yesterday there was an article here from the BBC about Mars warming up.

1 + 1 still equals 2 in my reality.

Do any of these chicken littles know the hurricane frequency and strength of those storms in AD 1000, how about 6th century BC.

Huh? I don't think so.

NYT -- your paper is a disgrace... A DISGRACE to journalism.

So are we saying that Greenland might become green again like it was before the industrial revolution?

Cyclical pattern

The new data shows a cyclical pattern of hurricane activity that repeats every few decades.

The 1850s to mid-1860s were quiet, followed by an intense period from the late 1860s to 1900, with five seasons of 10 or more hurricanes. The year 1886 was the busiest season on record in the US, with seven hurricanes hitting the coast. And after a lull, the storms raged again in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

"It does confirm there are cycles of activity, rather than long-term trends towards more or stronger storms," says Landsea. That database also reveals that states such as Georgia that were largely spared during the 20th century remain at risk

Do they bother to look at the first half of this century?
