Global warming increasing hurricane numbers and intensity ….. afraid the data doesn’t show it!
154 years of National Hurricane Center Data show otherwise.
Total number of hurricanes per year was down about 25% in the 50 years from 1951-2000 compared to the 100 years before. Total number of major hurricanes per year was down about 10% in the 50 years from 1951-2000 compared to 100 years before.
2000 to 2004 data indicate a possible return to 1851-1950 levels but it is much to early in to draw any significant conclusion.
