Yes, I've seen all those records. There are links along the left side of the page which go to them, and those records put the lie to all the claims about global warming. But the deceived believe what they wish to believe.
Actually, they are not deceived. They believe the lie because they are impervious to the truth. Someone who is deceived and misinformed need only look through these records to be enlightened and reject the lie. But when they are shown the truth, they reject that and cling to the lie.
There are people today who behave as if hurricanes were a totally new phenomenon, an indication that something has changed and that something has gone wrong. Hurricanes are perfectly natural, just as earthquakes are. Both are tragic only when they affect people and property. The most rabid Bush-haters seem to think there were no hurricanes before Bush was elected.
You're right: For the benefit of some who have to ward off the libidiots, I'm going to repost what I said last thread's

On the same web site, but not easily found with the previous link, is this document detailing "Hurricanes striking U.S. by decade":
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdec.shtml
One quick way to look at this table: Since records were kept beginning 1850 (or so) the average number of hurricane strikes on the US has been 17.7/decade.
We have had FEWER than that average number of strikes since 1950. This decade, we are finally on a pace that would exceed that average for the first time since the 24 in since the 1940's.
Side note:
I wonder if the political opposition was blaming the US intervention in Europe and Asia, or our burning oil and coal, for all those 1940's hurricanes?
