Any discussion of Hurricane/Typhoon/Cyclone activity needs to note all basins and what basins are experiencing unusual activity and which are not. It also needs to address year over year changes.

Let me guess the answer to the question: GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE/TRUMP
One of the three or all of three?
Okay time to read the article to see if the hypothesis is correct.
Uh, because the chaotic atmosphere made so many hurricanes make landfall in the US?
Where’s my Nobel Prize?
Nicely WAY too technical for general consumption by emotional thinkers...
Scientific American is no longer either.....
I love how “scientists” say that hurricanes are ultimately somebody’s fault because climate-blah-blah, but “wild fires” are somehow these spontaneous and unpredictable natural events that can’t be controlled, contained, or prevented. (People often start them through arson or careless—and are therefore “man-made”—but folks don’t like to be reminded of that.)
The 1935 "Labor Day" hurricane that hit the Keys near Islamorada to this day is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. It had the lowest barometric pressure ever and the winds were so severe that wind measuring instruments were blown away. My mother, a native of Key West, had several family members there to celebrate the holiday and were lost, never seen again.
And don't forget the 1900 Galveston hurricane that caused between 6 and 8 thousand deaths. So, this talk today is stupid.
I visited Galveston just because I had read about the dreadful hurricane-——I have a small book about it, and also read “Isaac’s Storm” a few years back that was about Galveston.

10 to 12 year cycles. Just like cold snaps. Just like heat waves. Just like hurricanes and cyclones. Just like el nino and la nina.
The solar cycle dictates the weather of our planet.
We have absolutely ZERO control over solar output.
We are currently in between ice ages here on earth.
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts, because 100-10,000 years from now, most of the planet will be under a mile of ice or more.
12-year hurricane cycle most likely related to the ~11-year sun spot cycle, which is the principle driver of cyclic climate events:

The older I get, the more people born in the 90's and up do I meet. They all have this inclination to think all history and things significant started at that time. It is shocking and sad. I have learned just as much through my grandparents and what they had to endure especially with natural disasters, wars and economic collapse. We need to keep carrying that knowledge. EVERYTHING today is hyperbole,agenda and sheer idiocy.
I love the sentence referring to NOAA, CSU, and the Weather Channel all being accurate in forecasting that THIS season would be more active than average! LOL! They have predicted an above average season each year for as long as I can do remember. They were bound to be right eventually. It doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about.
What they are about is “agenda driven” science. (A phrase I first heard used by a poster here on FR).
I was born in 1932,my brother in 1935,my father died in 1938,just before the hurricane,then came the war and shortages,and there was polio and scarlet fever——we were actually quarantined for 2 weeks.
The lives that my grandchildren have led is something that would have been beyond my wildest dreams.

Few stories that I have ever read about devastated me as much as the St. Mary’s Orphanage.
I agree-—the little ones attached to the nuns with ropes to prevent them from being separated.
Saddest thing ever.

I thought it was because PRESIDENT Trump pulled out of the Fiasco In Paris and it pissed off the hurricane gods.
The hurricane season is not over yet. It’s premature to be calling any “count” for 2017 any kind of record, or non-record.

Sheesh! They almost got through this without invoking the #FakeScience of Climate Change.
"It's complicated ..." meaning; "It's really hard to weave utter BS into a normal narrative of real meteorological science,... but here's the razzle dazzle we came up with!"
My apologies to the Wizard who had good intentions.
Yup.
Cancelled that too. My latest cancellation is the Smithsonian.
