Our friends at CNN's take on it is here:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/09/23/hurricane.cycle/?section=cnn_space

This paragraph sums it up:

"The increased activity since 1995 is due to natural fluctuations (and) cycles of hurricane activity driven by the Atlantic Ocean itself along with the atmosphere above it and not enhanced substantially by global warming,"

Must have killed them to put that one out. It's not Bush's, SUV's, conservatives, or anything else's "fault." It's mean old Mother Nature.

EXACTLY SO. On Friday I emailed that article to a couple of liberal friends with a request for comment, and so far all I've heard is crickets....

Of course, NewsMax's title is equally bogus -- there is no "equating" the two things. But it's nice to have some more pointers to the original article out there.
