Atlantic Tropical Storms Have Doubled [byproduct of human-induced climate warming, researchers]

[Sub-Driver]

more junk science from the UK. They're enamored with this nonsense.........

[dforest]

I would have to agree that it is sloppy science.

Hmm? It won’t be too long before the tropical storms and hurricanes predicted, get downgraded once more.

Atlantic Tropical Storms Have Doubled [byproduct of human-induced climate warming, researchers]

Not to worry, it's offset by the fact that it's been 5 years now since I last had a tornado take shingles off my roof here in central Illinois.

[Tall_Texan]

Such BS. There was no way to know what was out in the open ocean until there was radar. Probably the second jump came with the addition of satellites.

Nothing convinces me more that Global Warming is a hoax than some of these “scientific findings” that even a 10-year-old could easily swat down given 30 seconds to think through the hypothesis.

[Rudder]

Their findings were being published online Sunday by Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.

"Findings" are useless in any science report without the Methodology = subjects, apparatus, experimental design, procedure, statistical analysis.

[P-40]

From 1905 to 1930, the Atlantic-Gulf Coast area averaged six tropical cyclones per year

I wonder if the satellite data confirms this...

[SampleMan]

Go figure. Most storms don’t touch land, which was a prerequisite to being counted before 1970.

Oh the miracle of weather satellites. Perhaps we should stop launching weather satellites, so that the number of hurricanes will go back down.

[Brakeman]

Does the article say anything about the lack of satellites (thus lack of knowledge about storms that form but don’t hit land) in the early 20th century?

[rollo tomasi]

Nice conclusion, leave out logic and cross your fingers hoping some ignoramus buys what your shoveling.

Those government paid propagandist must do heavy drugs believing weather satellites, able to track TS across the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico, have been with us since the dawn of man. Where can you find evidence of all those TS that never hit land, let alone the ones that hit in desolate or undocumented areas.

Nice conclusion, leave out logic and cross your fingers hoping some ignoramus buys what your shoveling.

[Always Right]

It has nothing to do with the fact we now have satellites that can track these storms. How the heck do they know how many tropical storms there were in 1900. What a bunch of lying a-holes.

[xcamel]

Worse than "junk science" -- it's an outright lie.

[rollo tomasi]

Warning, don’t drink and post.

Must lay off the wine for the rest of the evening. I am starting to repeat myself.

[tobyhill]

Wasn’t this year supposed to be the worst on record?

[Always Right]

It is probably arrived from Ice core data, I am sure.

[o_zarkman44]

Maybe the number of storms have multiplied because the definition of what constitutes a tropical storm has been loosened? And perhaps 100 years ago many storms were not detected or considered just a thunderstorm?

The weather service issues a severe t storm warning now when the wind blows and it rains hard with a pebble of hail.
When I was a kid those were considered normal storms and we didn’t have to be told. Funny thing is.....many times the storm warnings are issued after the storm has already passed.

[Tall_Texan]

Wasn’t this year supposed to be the worst on record?

No, that was last year - coming off the record year of 2005. On the graph posted above us, note the hugh spike for 2005 but also notice hos that spike goes all the way back down for 2006.

Yeah, you get weird results when you carefully choose a 60 year period to average and compare it to a 10-year period, which, by the way, includes the single most active season on record.

Take that one year and average the other nine and I'll bet we're actually below average.

[blam]

No mention that 1,100 years ago the incident of cat-5 hurricanes were from 4-10 times greater than present.
