Can we now go all-in on the global warmite prediction of an imminent onslaught of extraordinarily massive and destructive hurricanes now, or are human effects advocates the only ones entitled to use ridiculously short and flawed data sets to make their case?

Real data shows this year to be the most sedate hurricane season since the mid-1970s. That would be the same as that found near the end of a three decade trend of global cooling in the mid to late 1970s, which predicates the present period of warming, but comes in between a recent trend of cooling. Whew. Must be all those fossil fuels China isn’t burning.

Well, I’m done bleeding the supply of sarcasm from the lower atmosphere. The only correct answer regarding climate change is that we possess insufficient data to make a conclusion. But don’t anyone tell that to the oracle from Carthage.
