You did notice that you used the word GLOBAL didn't you? So why to you only reference the Continental US, which accounts for about 2.6% of the Globe and ignore those hurricanes that came ashore in the outer-lying areas (Caribbean, Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula, etc.) at a higher intensity rate?

Are we suppose to likewise ignore what is going on in the Pacific? (like the strongest Typhoon in recorded history, which killed 6,300 in the Philippines alone?)

Or the Hurricanes that have hit Europe over the last few years, one of which (St. Jude/Cyclone Christian) lead to the highest recorded winds in the history of Denmark, and which killed some 17 in the UK?

If you're going to talk about something on a global scale, it's kind of disingenuous to only offer up what is happening in the USA as a rebuttal to the general point. (And ignores the other 97% of the global surface.)

Considering that it was probably pretty hard to measure hurricanes/typhoons in the past I would bet the recorded history of hurricanes and typhoons is not very long.

Climate change is as old as the Earth and extreme weather has been part of it.

And we were ASSURED we could expect more and biiger, stronger hurricanes striking the U.S.

If it's a global phenomenon why would one of, if not THE most prominent producing areas for hurricanes suddenly produce them at a much reduced rate, in direct contradiction of the sirens of settled science?

Marshal,

Care to show me the scientific journal or reputable scientific publication that gave you such assurances?

Hell, I've got a guy on History Channel assuring me that pretty much every great advancement of mankind was the result of Aliens.

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's behind about global warming, climate change or whatever name they come up with. It's just a bunch of people fear mongering and offering nothing but lip service then continuing to live the same life and do the same things that people who don't care do.

It's all about "income redistribution" from rich countries to poor; translation let's "barry" the U.S. economy while the rest of the world goes on about their business,
